  • as is customary for hexbear, allow me to insult your intelligence and ridicule your understanding of socialism.

    while all forms of government trade taxation for public services in some way, such as a fire department, this alone does not constitute socialism. a socialist state owns and controls the means of production (natural resources, factories, workforce) and directs the use of those to meet the state’s goals. a proper socialist state’s goals would be decided by workers’ councils and could be used to establish a welfare state that covers the basic standards of living, as you said. this is, in essence, what the nordic states do (minus the workers’ councils, they have just regular ol bourgeoisie democracy), which is why their model of social democracy has been referred to as socialism by other western powers.




  • great accomplishment, comrade.

    after being a daily drinker through my 20s into my 30s (especially 2020-2022), one night i consumed alcohol + weed + psilocybin extract in mezcal (my first mushroom trip) and i completely lost the taste for alcohol a few months later. It tastes like rubbing alcohol and headaches instead of freedom and escape. i’m extremely relieved that this happened without any mental effort on my part, i just lost the urge to drink alcohol. daily weed consumption hasn’t abated tho
