My favorite part about hacking systems is when someone makes other controllers compatible.

In using my Xbox controller on my hacked Wii U.

I would definitely want more parties in Cuba on the governance side. One party is ripe for abuse. Generally the more the marrier.

Right now I think thier government is too large. Large isn't necessarily bad, but a government should only IMO be as large as it needs to be to help its population. Of course on a political compass, I'm more on the libertarian end in terms of governance.

I think the economics of Cuba would be better if the US would stop senseless embargo.

Again, ideally we want strong communist economic and social fabric AND a thriving democracy to pick leadership. I think they are struggling on the latter.

Of course my perspective is the strict embargos are in place solely because the US really doesn't want communism to work. If it worked somewhere, then it makes US capitalism look quite bad.

I think there was a misunderstanding based on the context of the post above? Sorry. I thought you were talking about my views as being authoritarian.

Edit: dumb voice to text software

See this just reads as a complete misunderstanding of what communism is. The word Communism is derived from the word Commune, in which there is traditionally no standard power structure. Too much red scare propaganda. To me of the most prevalent feelings of authoritarianism in my life has been the boss/underling dynamic in the workplace under capitalism.

I'm pro communist economics and pro democratic governance. There is a reason the movement here in the US is towards "democratic socialism", because they are two separate facets of a country. The governance (democratic) and the economic (socialism).

I'm a democratic Communist

No, I find socialism and markets to be a capitalist compromise that still breeds wasteful middlemen. More regulated middlemen, but still. Communism is an economic framework, not a governmental one.

For sure socialism is a step up from cpaitalism, but I don't think it's enough.

They have an entire sub called "thedunktank" that is about sending targeted harassment to specific users.

I was bullied for off Lemmy.One by the hexbear mods who sent hexbear users my way to harass me...

All for (while I'm still a raging communist) not being a pro authoritarian communist.

Eh, there is no such thing as preserving a live service game. Lots of OW1 copies on disc that are coasters now

People love corporations

Late stage capiyalims, Baybee!

 

I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.
