you can tell by the amount of text in the meme that it’s lovingly made by a fellow leftist

you don't really need to call supermarkets bread lines when you have actual bread lines. i've stood in them. they stretched for blocks and it took over an hour to go through it. the food was day old bread and other goods nearing or past their sell-by date

The most radicalizing thing you could do to someone would be to force them to live like they're poor in the US for a few months

If they don't come out a frothing leftist, they're hopeless

[–] underisk@lemmy.ml 54 points 1 year ago (4 children)

so many people think of "poor" as just "unable to afford luxuries" when it's more like "I have a job but dont have the ability to pay bills and eat regularly this month, and this isnt unusual or likely to change"

[–] Moss@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also "I can't afford to fix or replace anything and if my car breaks down I'm fucked"

slowly getting more and more behind on your mortgage payments of your tiny 2 bedroom house in a rural area until you are forced to sell because rates were hiked and wages stagnated

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

for me it's having a job that used to be considered "middle class" that I work full time and net like -$100 every month even after strict budgeting. Living perpetually on the edge of homelessness despite doing everything I was told to do growing up.

What do you do?

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I talked to a guy who was really desperate to define poverty as literally dying of starvation in the street.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

That's the thing with liberals, they pride themselves of how they want to help the poor but somehow you always have to be poorer than the concrete people you're talking about in order for it to be real poverty.

[–] anonochronomus@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

Sounds nice.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

nooo food banks don't count because it's "charity" not "government mandated" which means it's good not evil!

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

The government is forcing me to eat food! How dare!

[–] anonochronomus@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

oh noes! free food!

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Imagine living in a place where you could stand in a bread line. My food bank requires ID, you need a car to get there, and it's strictly means tested.

[–] underisk@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

That’s so fucked up. We lived in walking distance but still had to carry it all with us if we couldn’t manage a car trip. They didn’t ID or means test though, which I didn’t even know was a possibility. Do they think rich people are gonna show up and take all the stale bread?

So let's say, hypothetically, that you have 20 yards of Linen.

[–] Aquilae@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

20 years of Lenin? Hell yeah

That's like 10 millennia adjusted for week-decades :lenin-god-emperor:

3million people in the UK relied on foodbanks last year.

Turkey doesn't appear to mention socialism in their constitution, but interestingly India, Portugal, and Bangladesh all do.

We, the people of India, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic

open up a path towards a socialist society, with respect for the will of the Portuguese

Further pledging that it shall be a fundamental aim of the State to realise through the democratic process, a socialist society

[–] Aquilae@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Bangladesh is even a "People's Republic"

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Depending on the translation, so does the constitution of the ROC lol

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

I wonder if anyone in Portugal has launched a constitutional challenge against right governments based on that. Would love to see the chud-lite party attempt to argue they're building Socialism.
