Actually, this town has more than enough room for the two of us

He/him or they/them, doesn't matter too much

Interested in Marxism-Leninism, but don't know where to start? Check out my Marxist-Leninist study guides, both basic and advanced!

  • Liberalism is supportive of capitalism, leftism begins at anti-capitalism. What did you think the left was before Lemmy?

  • For clarity, stethoscope theory is bullshit based on vibes. Communists support collectivizing production and distribution, and support states where the working classes are in charge, including their right to build up defensive mechanisms to protect the gains of socialism. This is entirely incompatible with the right-wing, who seek to maintain the dominion of capitalism.

  • This is just linguistic gymnastics, though. Hamas, and the broader Palestinian resistance, is the resistance to genocide. There isn't another, and better groups like the PFLP all work with Hamas, because they are fighting genocide and extermination.

  • Resistance to genocide is the correct position to take.

  • What's wrong with the term "leftist organization?" Educate, agitate, organize is the common saying, organizing is the fundamental task of leftists.

  • Why do you tankies always lie

    For full clarity, it was the "tankies" reporting on PieFed's social credit score system, Deceptichum is attacking the "tankie" position. The comment you linked is from a "tankie." In fact, it was because the communists started talking about PieFed's social engineering that this drama even kicked off.

  • Why not go to an even broader instance like Lemmy.zip?

  • It's a good thing to ban Zionists, actually. Support for genocidal settler-colonialism is bad.

  • Very cool of dbzer0.

  • To be clear, one comment having 1-2 upvotes and a reply to it having a dozen or more upvotes gets that across just fine, it just requires the reply in the first place.

  • Since when was the Palestinian resistance to genocide genocidal themselves? What kind of hasbara is this?

  • Blocking instances blocks their communities, not their users. Further, Lemmy.world is already defederated from Hexbear, blocking it does nothing in that case.

  • "Tankie" is just a pejorative for communists, it's a strawman that essentially says that the Red Scare was correct, but that that's a good thing. In reality, the ones called "tankies" have very reasonable views and reasons for supporting existing socialism, the label gets thrown to shut down discussion.

  • Just browse Join-Lemmy and pick an instance that sticks out and you like the vibe of, with good local communities and decent federation. The only one I truly recommend avoiding is Lemmy.world, due to its size and moderation on some larger communities.

  • Lemmy.world is actually defederated from some larger instances, and many smaller ones defederate it for being too dominating.

  • If people are communists, I see no reason why they should avoid the communist instances. If you don't like communists, wouldn't you rather they be in instances you're defederated with or can easily block? People can decide for themselves if they want to stay or not after checking an instance.

  • Hexbear is openly communist, it doesn't "try to sound cute to trick people." That's genuinely the community, tons of queer communists.

  • You may disagree with communists, but we are by no means fascists. Fascism is inherently tied to protecting private property and capitalism, communists oppose that and seek to collectivize production and distribution.
