Sure I'll think about them, as soon as they cede all their wealth and give their companies to the workers.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 74 points 2 weeks ago

Educate, agitate, organize. They will never do this willingly.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 40 points 2 weeks ago

100% homie.

And if we don't get it?

SHUT IT DOWN

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 28 points 2 weeks ago

Sieze it. If you're interested, I have an introductory Marxist reading list.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I'm pretty well educated on marxist theory already, but I'll always take more book recommendations!

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks! 🫡

That's right, seize not freeze. :)

Just a reminder, if you think what happened on DDD Day was murder and not self defense, you don't have a problem with violence, you just hate when poor people do it.

[-] clickyello@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

a quick Google turned up nothing useful, what is DDD Day?

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 82 points 2 weeks ago

I guess this past Wednesday is unofficially Deny Defend Depose Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Brian_Thompson

Oh god. I was reading through the page and this gem was down in the section on the response from healthcare companies:

Another executive was quoted saying "What's most disturbing is the ability of people to hide behind their keyboards and lose their humanity."

Says the people who hide behind keyboards, phone calls, employees, doctors, guards, police as they hurt people they don't know. Talk about losing your humanity.

Your quote is included in this Financial Times piece (archived version) but it's immediately ~~followed~~ sorry, preceded by my favorite. And by favorite, I mean one of the most vile things I've ever heard.

One former Cigna executive recalled how the US health insurer used to frequently face threats when claims were denied. “We’d have times when you’d deny proton laser therapy for a kid with seizures and the parent would freak out,” said the former executive.

Proton Laser Therapy is used to precisely kill tumors. You know, like tumors in a brain that are causing seizures. How dare those parents "freak out" just because you are refusing to cover their child's cancer treatment? These fuckers are completely out of touch. They honestly think they have the moral high-ground letting kids die in order to increase shareholder value. I now really understand why the guillotine was invented.

[-] Pandantic@midwest.social 17 points 2 weeks ago

I was reading a Facebook post about how UHC denied a kid their anti-rejection meds for a liver transplant because there was a cheaper one the kid had already had a bad reaction to, and they thought he should give that one a try again first… 🤦

[-] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

That has to be one of the most depraved and appalling things I've ever read. I just got a piece of mail from cigna telling me to sign up for their supplemental insurance before something terrible happens to me.

I think I'll use it to curse their CEO and lackeys instead. I don't know if that shit works, but it might offer some catharsis after finding out they deny epileptic children with cancer treatment and are baffled when parents "freak out." Seriously, those inhuman husks can eat shit and choke.

they've become like politicians or lawyers or police or soldiers who don't care about the damage they've inflicted on millions of people's lives and believe that what they're doing is justified because it's for some "greater good" and never mind that the people they're harming were never part of that greater good.

Nationalize:

insurance
hospitals
prisons
public transit

It's perfectly possible to have your capitalist desires and still have a nice socialist structure to protect the people.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

Housing should be on that list as well

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

From my experience living in a very socialist country; fair housing can be handled by rules instead of 'nationalizing'. So the rules and pricing around them would be handled by the government, but not the houses themselves.

A big one I'm missing is schools.

I just want dental insurance to be included in basic health insurance plans for all. Nothing too radical.

I don't condone the murder of the CEO of a healthcare insurance company who reject 32% of claims.....

But I understand.

Just a reminder but the bourgeoisie are the "middle class", and that the CEO who was killed is part of a capitalist oligopoly.

The bourgeoisie haven't been targeted here, an aristocrat has.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 43 points 2 weeks ago

Aristocrats were an offshoot of feudalism, the bourgeoisie are the Capital Owners. The "middle class" is the petite bourgeoisie, who are Capital Owners that must labor, ie small business owners. This was the bourgeoisie, not an aristocrat.

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 38 points 2 weeks ago

The aristocrats were largely disposed of via bourgeois revolution. Now there is a haute bourgeoisie, like Brian Thompson (net worth >$40M), and a shrinking petite bourgeoisie, A.K.A. the middle class.

ShitLibs when somebody kills/harms/insults a capitalist, a warlord ("defense contractor"), a capitalist dictator, a war criminal, or anyone with power:
