If that was adequate to explain Youtube’s decision-making, the platform would be unrecognizably different for all of the terrible things Youtube didn’t do because it would be – and indeed was – terrible

while lemmy.ml rules are mainly the job of the mods??? Congratulations, that’s the dumbest thing that I’ve read today.

Comm rules exist in addition to instance rules. You know, like those where “knowing about anime” etc. might actually carry some importance. Your rush to do an own has left you speaking complete nonsense.

Yeah, but the admins, as the thread has shown, are mainly reining in violations of sitewide policy. Instance rules are mainly the job of mods.

I mean the show is risque, but

If there’s an “uncensored” version* because of the nudity, it probably qualifies as soft porn, all the more when a portion of the cast are minors (as the Wikipedia summary suggests they are). This doesn’t strike me as a hill worth dying on.

*It’s been trending on 9anime

You need to know a topic decently enough to be able to moderate a community about it. And yet it’s unreasonable to expect the admins of lemmy.ml - a community about free/open source and privacy - to know about anime.

This is what mods are for. The sleight-of-hand is silly and obvious.

Remember idealist/materialist in a philosophical context is, in its most common use, a metaphysical distinction. Marx’s use of “idealism” is based on this but isn’t the same.

But an important element of Marxism is that it ascribes strategy based on a) class position and b) conflict-aversion. If you are a prole or you just want to play it safe, even as a member of the bourgeoisie, it tells you that socialism is the best way to accomplish that goal, but it’s by the same framework that it can give a capitalist insight on how to practice capitalism with still-more-brutal efficiency if that is what they want.

You’ll get there

Nah, undergrads read almost zero Marxist literature, almost 100% from Marx and just a tiny bit from Engels. The rest is memory-holed from history.

I think Marxism is functionally but not technically inherently communist on the grounds that it avoids discussion of moral values and things like that.

I encourage you to go over to c/askchapo on hexbear.net if you are curious.

It is not “the classical version of communism”, that would be the Utopian or anarchist ideas and projects that preceded it. Marxism is a class of ideology that has historically and still does have the greatest weight in geopolitical importance, starting with “classical Marxism”, a now-dead ideology, and its many successors, like you list.

Marxists don’t argue for a deonotological disallowing of markets, but believe that those who own the markets should not thereby own the rest of society. I’m sure even you would agree that it would be better is everyone had the comfortable position that you do – and indeed we should move in that direction, even though we cannot simply decide that everyone will be wealthy tomorrow – but we all must work with the conditions we find ourselves in, including to transform those conditions over time.

If you’d like to discuss the subject, there are many comms on a handful of instances where people would be happy to!

You don’t seem very interested in the responses that do elaborate. I wonder why that is . . .

No, because that might be an incentive to buy it. Being a pirate is probably more fun anyway, though.
