I know they likely realize something is up....
But until I am ready, we will just keep this current thing going. ;p lol

Looking for fiction with good trans representation that my family might read. Need books that: 1. **Normalize trans experiences** for cis individuals, 2. Match specific **genres/themes** for each family member, and 3. Don't scream "trans" from the **cover**. Dad's into Tom Clancy, so a military submarine thriller with trans representation would be ideal—super specific, right? Wonder how that would play out!

If they say some shit like “Well I’m not arguing for another trail of tears, I just think the economic system of capitalism is better”
Just respond with “Good, so your alignment with a type of economic system or model still leaves plenty of room for variations on policy🤔”

Forget it, you said you are a democratic socialist right? Don’t fight loosing arguments about history with people. Shut them up with this one argument.
“I will defend every seemingly communist country and their actions, only after you defend every capitalist nation and all of their actions. Simple enough right?”

Dude, dictatorship of proletariat doesn’t mean what you think it does.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1919/sep/x02.htm
When reading Marx please keep in mind that not only did he write in German, which has been translated… but if you have read his works he often heavily utilizes foot notes to explain what he means be certain things and at times will take an entire section building up an argument that is later summarized into a more concise statement. My first reaction to “dictatorship of proletariat” was negative, but reading more about his meaning is important.
Did Marx get some things wrong, sure however, while I will never say “everyone has to read this” I will say that “everyone who wants to oppose Marx should actually understand it to a level that probably requires reading”

The only moral revolution is one by and for the people, with the working class playing a vital role in driving societal change.
Moreover, one need not look far to find instances of so-called capitalist "Revolutions" supported by the United States, which often resulted in the rise of authoritarian dictatorships. For example, Fulgencio Batista's regime in Cuba in 1933 and the tyrannical rule of President Rhee Syng-man in South Korea are separate cases illustrating this trend. Additionally, history records numerous coups and regime changes in Latin America, alluding to a broader pattern.
It's crucial to acknowledge that capitalist economies, exemplified by countries like the US, have at times allied with and propped up dictatorships, fascist movements, and ultra-nationalist regimes.
When examining the actions and consequences of historical revolutions, it becomes apparent that revolutions aligned with capitalism have, both in the past and present, been more numerous and have encountered moral complexities and violence. One might argue that this predominance is partly driven by the capitalist motives associated with imperialism, which facilitated the diffusion of their economic model.

transition phase being authoritarian is a mistake
Your understanding of communism is fundamentally flawed... Democracy is indispensable to socialism.

Or perhaps you are arguing that power will always be abused by individuals and thus we shouldn’t resist it and those that currently hold it in the form of capital…
in which case…
I never expect perfection in a human society, but I know for damn certain we can do better than what we do now and the improvements we can make are towards a more equitable society best expressed by socialist and communist thinkers alike.

Ah, I see you think yourself an expert on Marx. When he said this was he not meaning that instead of the people being under the dictatorship of a small privileged class of capitalists (see the plutocracy of many capitalist nations) he wanted the entirety of the people, in particular the working class to have control over their own lives, labor, and common interests?
Idk, but it sounds like you think you have read more of Marx’s literature and understand Marx better?

You don’t know your Marx? socialism-transition-communism
Marx, therefore, further refined the concept of a “transition society” and introduced the idea that the development of communist society would take place in two phases. In the first stage, “socialism” as he called it, the commune state was still necessary both to defeat all attempts at counter-revolution and to reconstruct the international economic system on an egalitarian and planned basis.

Didn't even know this was a thing... not surprising, although I wonder how it works.

Idk, the Memmy app for IOS has it…

After the hack last night, effected instances, lemmy.world being one of them, invalidated existing login tokens as a security measure after updating. If it is persisting after deleting the app, you may want to try my personal fix. What I did was
- Log into alt account in addition to my primary one
- After you have 2 accounts added to the app the option to delete, basically log out of the account, will appear by both accounts (memmy only lets you do this if there is more than one account, it won't let you sign out if it is the only account on the app) then I deleted the primary account from the app.
- I exit the app and close the tab
- Open the app again, and resign into primary account by hitting the add account option.

It’s okay, the best thing we can do is inform others so that we don’t unknowingly hurt others. Now you know. 💜
I know it has its issues, but with the app right now I have to load the same post within a web browser to see what emoji someone used… these can completely change the meaning of a message considering how much variety they have. In app version at current: ![](https://i.imgur.com/eHYqbJh.jpg) In browser version at current: ![](https://i.imgur.com/tU5y9Ux.jpg) And no, when I click the file in the app it doesn’t load the emoji. Rather I just get a blank greeted out image view screen.
