DreamWorks production workers showed solidarity on #TAGTuesday with a fierce CAT walk across campus — highlighting the need for real progress on their top contract priorities. ✊ #ProductionStrong

Last week, Production Workers at Warner Bros/CNS delivered a petition stating their top priorities. Please share this in support of the Production Workers as they head back to the Negotiation table tomorrow! #ProductionStrong #UnionStrong #Animation

Yeah, no. Communism and Libertarianism represent fundamentally different philosophies, especially in their views on property, state power, and individual freedom, though there are some nuanced overlaps depending on which branches of each ideology are being considered. --- 🔻 Core Comparison FeatureCommunismLibertarianism View on PropertyAbolish private ownership of the means of productionStrong defense of private property and free markets Role of the StateStrong (at least initially); controls economy and resourcesMinimal or no state; government should be as limited as possible Individual FreedomSubordinated to collective goodParamount; individual liberty is the highest value Economic SystemPlanned economy; collective ownershipCapitalism; market-based voluntary exchanges Class & Equality FocusClassless, egalitarian society is the goalInequality is accepted if it arises from voluntary actions Moral FoundationEmphasizes equality and collective welfareEmphasizes autonomy and non-aggression principle Examples / AssociationsMarx, Lenin, Mao (state communism); anarcho-communismAyn Rand, Milton Friedman, Ron Paul, Murray Rothbard --- 🟦 Ideological Differences Means vs Ends: Communists seek equality of outcomes, often through central planning and the abolition of markets. Libertarians seek freedom of action, resulting in inequality of outcomes based on merit and choice. Authority: Most forms of communism involve a strong state during the transition to a classless society. Libertarians oppose state authority in most or all domains. --- 🟨 Are They Diametrically Opposed? Yes, in most interpretations: Economic Liberty vs. Economic Control: Libertarians favor unfettered capitalism; communists see capitalism as the root of exploitation. State Role: Libertarians see the state as an aggressor; communists see it (at least temporarily) as a tool for social justice. However, some strains blur the lines: Left-libertarianism or anarcho-communism (e.g. Kropotkin, Bookchin): Share communism’s skepticism of capitalism and libertarianism’s skepticism of the state. Envision voluntary cooperation without state coercion, combining communal ownership with personal liberty. --- 🟩 Summary Mainstream communism and mainstream libertarianism are largely diametrically opposed in their assumptions about freedom, ownership, and authority. But on the ideological fringes—particularly in left-libertarian or anarchist thought—there are shared goals of decentralization, anti-authoritarianism, and liberation from exploitation, even if the methods and definitions differ. /end AI The above analysis is neutral, and even offers you a string of association, however, anyone able to remove themselves of a binary awareness of systems can understand why. They are fundamentally, and at their core, absolutely dissimilar. I could have just walked away at your last reply, as it illuminates a complete lack of understanding, an intentional trolling, or at most an attempt at parody. This response, really isn't for you, but for anyone else potentially pulled into the discussion that may in some insane way, capable of being duped by your blanket claims with zero supporting reasoning... likely, since there isn't any. Have a great day... (that was also directed at everyone else. Wink)
