Bold move uploading this to .world lmao
Why is a “leftism” community on a right wing liberal instance?
Edit: Case in point, the lib calling JT a “tankie” or whatever in these comments lmao.
Pretty sure JT wouldn’t support sending in tanks to crush capitalist rallies in Hungary, which is what “tankie” originally meant. Now it’s just a scare word for anything remotely lefty, like “woke” now or how “commie” used to be.
Maybe lemmy.world will have ads and NFTs at some point too lol
I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Tons of young people are communists. OP being politically illiterate doesn’t have to be for their age, though that’s likely part of it.
Seems like they’re just woefully misinformed, though anticommunism does just mean fascism.
And as people have mentioned here, it can take until you’re in your 40s for some to finally escape all the anticommunist propaganda they’ve been fed their whole lives in capitalist states.
A state that prioritizes capitalist profit over worker interests is worse for the people?? Who could’ve seen this coming :0
The capitalist takeover of the former USSR is one of the greatest tragedies of the last few decades. Both for those countries, and for the global socialist movement. The modern capitalist Russia has no reason to support and fund socialist movements like they used to (like in Palestine, Vietnam, DPRK, Cuba, Bangladesh etc)
What?? 😭 😭 😭
There are Socialists that take offense to being called Communist, because for them, Socialism is the goal itself
Very rare. Those who do dislike being called communists probably aren’t very serious about socialism at all, and probably only want the “social capitalism” of Scandanavian countries.
they will take it as an insult if you call them socialist
What a dumb thing to say. Browse those instances and talk to communists/socialists there before you make weird claims about them. Or at least learn about socialism in general first.
“It wasn’t real socialism!!1!” lmao
This is the position you get when you understand capitalism is fucked but you still believe capitalist states’ propaganda about socialist revolutions that have actually managed to successfully overthrow the capitalist class, which gets worse the more those states have managed to rival and threaten capitalist rule globally.
Also lemmy.dbzer0.com since its admin rightfully hates liberals. And lemmy.world admins have already blocked !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com lol
I’d rather OP just goes back to reddit though honestly. There are already a surprising amount of capitalist bootlickers on Lemmy for an open source platform
Ah yes wanting a better system not built on the capitalist exploitation of the working-class is “edgy”
Do you even know what you’re talking about?
They don’t want reddit but want its liberal echo chamber lmao
Leaves platform enshittified by capitalism
Complains about people being communists
Bruh
If you’re a rabid right winger like most redditors anyone with half a brain will seem crazy.
