Edit: there are some minor mistakes with the title and the text in the meme indicating that it's Lego, not duplo...
Don't be pedantic; that's what ruined Reddit in the first place.
My god reddit being pedantic is the understatement of the year...

What ruined Reddit is the enshitification.
As far as the people themselves go... A message board is a message board. People on Lemmy hate to hear it, but there is no difference between Reddit and Lemmy in that regard. Lemmy's population is just smaller.

You do produce a lack of issue. Like there was an issue, then you make it not an issue.
What would be the means of production? I am uncertain.
- Even in communist paradise, we will have building superintendents.
- On the other hand, owning one's own home might be the means of production in this sense.
The organization and tools involved in the job.
So for the condo super "owning the means" could be being part of co-op that manages the building.

Ah, Landlords aren't the evil capitalist class then. They're just a worker that owns the means of production and splits the profits evenly with themselves.
Wrong, idiot.

Maybe there's a terminology problem, but I thought each condo unit was individually owned? Like, if you've got a tower block, and everybody owns their own domicile within it, it's a condo, but if they're owned by a landlord and rented out, it's an apartment.

Duplo is lego though.

And here I thought this wasn't Reddit

It was a tongue in cheek strawman or if you want to be fancy, a pedagogical tool.
If "providing housing" is a job/service/whatever produced by workers then I, as a theoretical landlord, own some means of production and split the profits with all of the workers: myself.
It seemed like a funny twist of words.

Yeah, and a warm can od diet Sam's club soda is the same as a Pepsi

I asked my dog about this, and she had some good points:
First of all, that's Duplo not Lego.
Second of all, "the means to my Lego"?
Third of all, theft is theft under both capitalism and socialism. If he didn't have an agreement with his dad that his dad could take half the tower, the dad is simply a thief. And theft is theft under both systems. And if his dad is supposed to represent "the government" or something, and taking half his stuff is supposed to be taxation, taxation happens under both capitalism and socialism.
wrote last edited by [email protected]That isn't just any duplo, it's specifically LEGO Duplo. That's like calling Word word instead of Microsoft Word or Chrome chrome instead of Google Chrome. What about Linux instead of ***/Linux?
Your dog should take extra lessons. How's it passing school not knowing this?

A message board isn't just a message board. Its content and how it's designed and moderated determine what kinds of people use it. There's a big difference between a message board like 4chan and a message board like reddit.

No, they rebranded. Duplo really is LEGO nowadays.

What does “means of production” even mean in 2025? It’s not like we all work in a shoe factory
I write software. The software that I write don't belong to me. The owner of the software I write makes money of it. It's "means of production" and the product itself simultaneously.

wrote last edited by [email protected]My son did a thing, so I said "Good job". Then I punched him straight in the face. "This is a political metaphor!" I screamed into his sobbing bleeding broken nose.
Now my wife says she's filling for divorce and taking the kids. I've been fired from my job for punching a coworker while saying "This is a political metaphor!" as well.
Just goes to show the state of free speech in this country. I swear to God, it's the damned Communists in the schools. They ruined everything.

What does “means of production” even mean
In Marxist theory, the "means of production" refers to the physical inputs used to produce goods and services. This includes things like tools, machinery, land, raw materials, and factories. Essentially, it's everything needed to carry out the process of production, excluding human labo

Life lesson = thieves will deflect criticism of the corporatist oligarchy supremacists by calling their theft socialism. Gimme your sandwich, commie.

They’re just a worker
"My landlord is a worker"
"How do you know?"
"He said if anything breaks in the unit, he'll fix it"
"Has he fixed anything yet?"
"No, but that's beside the point"

It's less "Not Reddit" every day, sadly

There's a number of large differences, in fact
