Yes, and thats not a good thing.
Why?
Communism, as practiced, is inherently fascist. Its essentially state slavery, because if you don't work, you will be sent to labor camps where you will work. The workers do not consent.
In capitalism, what happens if I - an average citizen - refuses to work?
Well you won't be thrown in a work camp. You can beg, go to soup kitchens, go innawoods, do whatever.
If you refuse to work in a communist country, they will make you work, or just execute you.
So do you think everyone- or at least the vast majority of people could do this all simultaneously? If they were all smart enough?
Who then would work?
So then are all working class persons just not smart enough, is that what you're saying? That the small minority of people who can afford to not work are just better, while those who work could stop if only they were smarter?
People who agree with communism "as practiced" are usually ridiculed by others on lemmy, from what I've seen.
What do you think the ‘ml’ stands for in Lemmy.ml?

Yes of course 😉
…machine learning? (Not really)

For rightwingers, maybe. But rightwingers are literal scum and should be removed from existence, so that's moot.
Yeah, it would be a good thing if Lemmy AND Reddit were more left, but what can ya do.
