What's up with those Maoists on Mastodon? Or you don't understand who Mao was or you are willingly supporting a dictator and mass-murderer (same with Stalinists by the way).

#fakeleft #authoritarianism

#pt Anyway, Maoists, Stalinists and similar, are not welcome on my instance. I don't consider those ideologies progressive. Extreme authoritarianism is *not* progressive.

If you think, yes I am a Maoist, but don't like Mao. Well that is the problem with naming ideologies to people.

If you think you are progressive and still like those ideologies I mentioned you should educate yourself and find another ideology that fits you better.

@jeroenpraat they are by their doing simply development dictatorships of the state capitalist kind.
@syndikalista Sorry don't understand exactly what you say.
@jeroenpraat Stalinism and Maoism is nothing else than using the state as a tool to enforce "development" of industry and replace peasants with workers. They act as any other development dictatorship, but call it socialism.
@syndikalista Oh yes that is absolutely true, and Stalin and Mao used that state-capitalism to establish a very brute dictatorship. And there is enough evidence for that. Identifying yourself nowadays as a Stalinist or Maoist is not done and a corruption for leftism in general.
