That’s true, but android has some pretty fundamental issues that would take some massive rewrites to fully resolve, not to mention that if we switched to linux patches wouldn’t have to be written for multiple operating systems.

Linux mobile will be harder to build but in the long run will be vastly better, but it’s admittedly a very long run.

Aosp makes more sense as a short term strategy, but google is making developing graphene harder, linux mobile is a much better long term strategy

Well no they could just be charitable and fix poverty with their massive wealth they just don’t wanna

That means the dutch model can’t get software updates… so like does it matter? Call me when they start disabling buses.

They are incompatible with end stages of communism, but not socialism, and even then, I don’t think they’re saying they’ve already built socialism or communism, I think they’re saying that they are building it.

i don’t think they will ultimately decide to start transitioning to either, because that would require a lot of people in power relinquishing it, but I think it’s better to try and actually understand both sides rather than argue against strawmen.

also, the argument of socialism is that the workers should own the means of production not that there should be some arbitrary wealth cap. Marx never said anything about a wealth cap, though many socialists would want one it isn’t fundamental to socialism, there’s even types of socialist called market socialists, ultimately the only characteristic that unifies socialists is worker control over the means of production.

you should read up on how heliocentrists were treated!

Slavery was justified in large part for religious reasons.

try element x, it has been fine for me

I don’t even vaguely understand what you’re saying or what your interpretation of these words could be from this post.

“Citing the fact that Russia has increasing support for socialism as proof of Russians having increased support for socialism is perfectly valid.”

can you rephrase this sentence in your own words?

then

can you explain why he would say this?

he did not try to point out that i misunderstood it

what do you think this post is?

And no, I’m not apologising to anyone. I made an error and i admit to that. That’s about as much as you’ll get from me.

this doesn’t change the fact that you should.

That is both very obviously what he was saying and also makes all of his responses to you make sense, also it is very easily inferred, you just went with a very bad faith interpretation for no apparent reason.

you should apologize.

@Cowbee@lemmy.ml can you confirm

That is not what he said at all, he was explaining why he supports russia, you completely misunderstood his point, reread the conversation.

a simplified version of his claim:

“i support socialism, russia is strategically beneficial for socialism because they trade with socialists and may one day be socialist, as evidenced by [the poll in question], socialism being on the rise in russia is part of the reason i support them over western powers.”

see how at no point in that claim did he say that socialism is good because it has popular support?

you didn’t understand the assertion and guessed what he was saying and then treated him poorly based on that misinterpretation, you should apologize.

honestly why would anyone argue that socialism is good because a country likes it??

No, he cited that poll because he supports socialism and russia is in favor of socialism. He did not say socialism is good because of the poll.

i know a bunch of nigerians who disagree with you and say it isn’t common.

now that we’ve cancelled eachother out in order to continue this you’ll need to find a poll.

But he didn’t do that so…?

quote the part where he said we should do socialism because of a nostalgia poll?

Do you believe that communism is only valid if communists have never made mistakes?

do you think capitalists have never made mistakes on the scale of the sparrows issue?

This is amongst the most pathetic interactions i have ever seen.
