Cause North American kids only think they know what that is but they don't.
So it's not a classless society? Also not an American kid btw
Communism in it's ideal form is impossible.. It requires humans to be selfless and share equally. That is not human nature and will never ever happen.
Funny you say that when humans since their very existence cared for their disabled/elderly and formed social relationships trough gifts and gratitude and not for monetary gain.
In fact, lonelyness and the pain associated with it are a protective mechanism, as people were much less likely to survive alone outside the group:

Our 'human nature' is to not be an egotistical asshole as that leads to social isolation
It's actually Capitalism that promotes egotistical and psychopathic behaviour, because you are competing against everyone in order to someday be more wealthy than someone else. Statements like this are burgouis propaganda to preserve the status quo.
So I've actually lived under a communist regime and it was no different than a fascist one. So I dunno what the hell you kids think a communist country looks like.
Actually Communist/Socialist, for a start. With strong democratic institutions.
Dictatorships will always try to preserve their power at the expense of anything else.
You have this weird utopian ideal that is never ever going to happen
Better to have an ideal and fight for a better future than being a defeatist geriatric. Or what do you propose as an alternative?

Unlike in Capitalist countries, China's billionaires don't have much political power and actually face consequences for things like corruption, etc.

It's a waste of time to argue with fascists anyway.
Don't feed the trolls

It's the chicken and egg problem. People don't move to Mastodon because there are less users and there are less users because people don't move.
However if someone consumes less social media because there are "less people making noise", I consider that a good thing.

One reason could be that a network of well-connected right-wing influencers on TikTok share AfD content and help amplify it, according to Verwiebe. Another could be that the majority of AfD candidates, more than any other party, are themselves active on the platform.
I have another: It's in the financial interest of Tiktok to promote an extremist party with extreme neoliberal views in order to make more profit.

Man darf dabei auch nicht vergessen, dass die Bundesrepublik eben nicht die Weimarer Republik ist und seitdem auch Failsafes wie bspw. der Förderalismus eingebaut wurden, um antidemokratischen Strömungen die Machtübernahme zu erschweren.
Außerdem kommt ein Großteil der Macht der AfD eben dadurch, dass sie nicht in der Regierung ist, aber den politischen Diskurs trotzdem maßgeblich bestimmt. Dabei muss sie nur Probleme ansprechen und keine Lösungen (außer "Ausländer raus") präsentieren, da sie dabei nicht zur Verantwortung gezogen werden kann.
Meine Befürchtung ist, dass sie sonst bis zur Bundestagswahl nur noch mehr Zuspruch erhält und eine Regierungsbeteilung der AfD auf Bundesebene weitaus verheerender wäre.
Germany's anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) is celebrating a "historic success", with a big victory for the far-right party in the eastern state of Thuringia. The result gives the far right its first win in a state parliament election since World War Two, although it has little hope of forming a government in Thuringia because other parties are unlikely to work with it. The AfD's top candidate in Thuringia, Björn Höcke, who is a highly controversial figure in Germany, hailed a "historic victory" and spoke of his great pride. He failed to win a direct mandate for the state parliament, but secured a seat because he was top of his party list.
