I mean if communism is what it'll take to get rid of golf I figure the ends justify the means.
Communism is when no golf
Another pro communism meme
Is it possible that is just conservative shitposting? Even our most of our extreme lefties understand irony and have a bit of self-awareness making inside jokes similar to this. We've also seen conservatives "eat the onion" enough on joke memes. We should consider that we may be on the other end the joke on this one not thinking they're serious with this meme.
They're right. Golf is a fucked up sport based on extreme privilege and land theft. There are many many reasons why the land should be repurposed.
Maybe it's not a "core" leftist issue but it's a real issue.
Nationalize golf courses, make them parklands.
Unironically yes. Fuck golf
Seriously. SO much land for a few old white pricks. And there are like no rules, can use any balls, any clubs, etc. imagine if baseball had no rules and you could use a bat made of anything. Or your own ball when you pitch. Wtf. Also expensive as fuck for no reason than gatekeeping it.
I don't know what the fuck you're on but there are rules in golf dude. This comment is as bad as the actual post
Dammit, don't make me support communism now.
Is there another way to get rid of golf?
Dammit, don’t make me support communism now.
Why not? What is so appealing about the oppressive hierarchies of capitalism? Literally destroying the planet...
I don't think communism is perfect or even deserving of much loyalty, but anti-capitalism is the only reasonable position.
Unbridled capitalism is very bad indeed, but the basics of it aren't bad. It can generate a lot of wealth through freedom. If you properly tax that wealth (top level brackets go 90-100%) then you have an enormous budget for a socialist framework that gives you anything from free healthcare to free education to free basic housing for everyone, etc.
Communism has a huge amount of issues that simply makes it impractical. You need to remove a lot of freedoms, everything requires a huge burocracy, you'll always (no exceptions in history) end up having to murder all your opponents and anyone who doesn't want to fall in line... Communism is nice on paper but in the real world there hasn't been a single example where it didn't cause untold suffering
I'll go with the former, thank you.
And again, yeah, capitalism as in the US is a shit show that needs to die in a fire, but come on, be realistic here for a second, capitalism looks shit in places like the US but if used well, it could generate heaven on earth for everyone
Golf is a game rich men play when they are bored playing games with our lives.
Turn every golf course into income based housing.
Dig up every cemetery and turn them into housing.
Quit wasting earth on rich people.
There’s way more of us than them. wtf are we doing
