cm0002Just a quick thanks to all the Instance admins out there as we await yet another Reddit wave đȘ
FlaxTbf the admins of lemmy.ml are the ones who actually develop the service. They deserve our thanks also.
I can thank them for their development efforts, but not on how they run their instance.
surph_ninjaâI would like to enjoy the benefits of collective efforts without supporting the political ideology that makes it possible in the first place.â
This can be done under right wing libertarianism as well. Or general green people. Idk.
A society based on worship of individualism is diametrically opposed to collective efforts.
Iâm thinking more about self hosting, though.
That âideologyâ is authoritarianism
- Understanding Siege Socialism - Gabriel Rockhill joins to talk about a controversial concept for Western socialists: âsiege socialismâ. A term coined by the great Michael Parenti.
- Third World Socialism in an Imperialist World - Rebuttal to Worthless First World Lib âLeftiesâ - Liberal imperialists first worlders who vote for Joe Biden while calling themselves âsocialistsâ love to attack every remotely successful left-of-liberal revolution in the third world - hereâs why theyâre wrong (theyâre also racist)

PsychadelligoatSpamming links with quotes that are unrelated?
The point was that the tankie triad are authoritarian, thatâs just a fact
Did the âauthoritarianâ Lemmy instances do, make you eat your spinach? đ
Too stupid to look up what a word means?
I know what it means. âAuthoritarianâ countries are whichever countries the imperial core oligarchies want to regime change this week, so they can neocolonize them, keep them subservient & underdeveloped, and loot them. Itâs whichever countries are on the Council on Foreign Relationsâ shit list this week. Itâs a bullshit category, strictly for the purposes of manufacturing consent.
Its cute that you keep referencing authoritarian countries, when thatâs not whatâs being discussed, nor is it relevant
The .ml community on Lemmy is authoritarian, which is a word with a meaning that is easily searchable if you somehow down know what it is. If you think that somehow is an incorrect statement then, as I said elsewhere: youâre too stupid to have a discussion with
âLemmy.ml is authoritarian because one time I got a month long ban.â

Build. That. Strawman! Not what I said, nor where I got my opinion from. Pretty sure you can find comments where I talk shit about the triad from well before I finally decided to go for a ban
It seems you get a lot of bans on a lot of instances. Maybe the problem is you.
I openly call people being idiots, like you, out on what they are. Most instances consider that to be in some way impolite, which is not something I care about (or Iâd stop doing it eh?)
Carlâauthoritarianâ is a buzz word that left-liberals like yourself use to attack any country that has successful left-economic programs. Whether you realize it or not, you have been trained to deploy this label in defense of US empire.

Not how Iâm using it here, which is a direct comment on how a Lemmy instance is run. If you want to pretend the tankie triad arenât authoritarian then youâre too stupid to discuss anything with, honestly

No, I havenât, Iâm one of the filthy socialists who argue in favor of many of the ideas of those regimes. You just see someone pointing out the bad of the tankie triad and make assumptions that Iâm not firmly on the left and just disgusted by how high they are on the compass compared to me
Are you sure itâs possible because of toxic ideology, or despite it? I may want to see the math on that.
There are any number of capitalist platforms. Yet here you are on one developed under communist principles. And still too indoctrinated to work out the connection.
You canât think why people interested in collective benefit and free dissemination of tools, while rejecting free markets and the profit motive, might have some meaningful overlap with believing in socialism?
There are endless positive but fundamentally dysfunctional ideologies. Anything which doesnât address how large populations behave is dysfunctional.
Thatâs why a system like Chinaâs is the only sensible one for a large country in the present world order - leaving important things up to unregulated markets and media is an abdication of responsibility.
Lol no
This is so vague that itâs meaninglessness.
The toxicity of the ideology vs the toxicity of users describing or supporting an ideology.
Itâs like asking if NASA went to the moon because of the NKVD or despite the NKVD.
