Here’s the thread in question btw. The mods left up OP’s comments that had some semblance of effort.

OP claimed putler was trying to bring back the USSR or some shit here lmao. At least OP deleted it.

I don’t think most people on this thread like you very much either lol

I have not seen anyone there advocating for capitalism though?

Damn it’s nice to see the comments are surprisingly evenly split between hating on it and actually being reasonable. Quite a difference from when redditors first moved in here last year.

I guess the more people talk about it, the more people actually visit it for themselves and form their own opinions.

Lemmy.world already exists unfortunately

I do miss some of the subreddits though

Just as capitalist states are “authoritarian” against working class interests, socialist states are “authoritarian” against capitalist interests.

The state is a tool for one class to oppress another. The goal of (most) communists is to transition from capitalism — where the capitalist class is in power — to a stateless, classless communist society via socialism — where the working class is in power.

Public perception of which is more “authoritarian” therefore depends on which class is currently in power and is able to manufacture consent, and that is the capitalist class in the vast majority of the world right now since the USSR’s overthrow.

• What is “Authoritarianism”?

Same thing that would happen if sanctions on Afghanistan were lifted. Regular people’s lives would improve as the country could import what they need. Cuba is really lacking in cement and medical supplies for example iirc (though their medical system and education is world-class), and they can’t import them cuz of the embargo.

Obviously not much would change in the US, aside from some people realizing socialism isn’t too bad when you’re not a tiny country sanctioned and blockaded by the most war-mongering nation in the world.

Instead it’s filled with zionazi and anti-piracy filth.

I prefer my filth Marxist and materialist flavoured thank you very much.

Yeah hexbear, lemmygrad and lemmy.ml have been the most pro-LGBT and anti-racist lemmy instances in my experience, along with blahaj.zone

They aren’t “bad”, it’s just that most people coming from reddit are liberals and as such won’t agree with their leftist/communist takes.

Just join any general instance really. feddit.ch which you’re on is one such instance.

Don’t worry, it already is.

And when it’s not crashing down, it’s funding ethnic cleansing in foreign countries instead. Gotta keep the combo going.

What the fuck

Wow, the Fediverse is actually visible :0
