Or ml. Or Hexbear.
Why can't we have a leftist instance that doesn't suck CCP dick?
most communities on ml are fine tho, also I got banned on hexbear because I called the CPC (their official name) CCP
The admins are tankies. It's just better to avoid it. The smaller their communities the more of a joke it is getting banned for writing a fact.
I don’t have a problem with any of the communities but I regularly catch the instance ban hammer for asinine reasons.
yeah, I mean you're kinda right
Marxists generally support AES, so instances that are pro-Marxism tend to be supportive of the CPC. I don't think there are any Syndicalist instances or anything, so you'd have to go to an Anarchist server like dbzer0 or something. Lemmy.world tends to be right-wing, especially because it's defederated from Marxist instances and some of the mods have ridiculed Marxism in general.
AES?
Edit: Found it, "Actually existing socialism"
Yep! You got it. Cuba, PRC, the USSR (pre-dissolution), Vietnam, Laos, etc.
Genuinely there are a lot of people that would like that. Maybe start with a community first before an entire instance.
We do. DB0 and Solarpunk.
A lot of bad actors on Slrpnk but overall the community is anarchist leaning, anti-dictatorship.
So those people calling it neoliberal are fucking liars
Yeah, basically. 'Neoliberal' and 'lib' are just snarl words many tankies use to mean "Anyone less fascist than Mao".
In general, .world is much less radical than many places on Lemmy. But they're far from neoliberals. The average poster is slightly left of a Berniecrat, probably; that is to say, either a very strong SocDem or a very weak DemSoc.
Listen all I'm saying is that if we were so far left that Bernie was center right on policy the country would be a much better place for everyone.
Wouldn't it be lovely? Unfortunately, we've got a lot of fighting on the ground to convince our fellow citizens to get their asses there instead of some weird 90s fantasy world.
Thanks for calling tankies what they are: fascist.
Read Blackshirts and Reds, Socialism and Fascism are entirely incompatible and serve entirely different classes.
I'm theory, yes. In practice the idea of socialism has been hijacked and subverted by the same ruling class to serve their nefarious needs time and time again. Y'all should focus instead on how socialism is incompatible with authoritarianism. "Power to the people" my ass.
No, it has not. Read Blackshirts and Reds, which I already linked. Communist movements served the Proletariat, not the Bourgeoisie. They also were by no means perfect "worker's paradises." Another good article is *Why Do Marxists Fail to Bring the "Worker's Paradise?" if you can only spare 20 minutes and not read a whole book.
You should read On Authority, Marx and Engels were constantly hounded as "authoritarian" for advocating for central planning.
Thanks for linking the article. I like most of its points, but I don't agree with this materialistic outlook that the economic development is the be-all and end-all solution to implementing "true" socialism.
I believe that the root cause of all attempts of it failing so far is that humans are selfish assholes. Unless everyone bar none starts caring about their brethren and sistren at least as much as they care about themselves, the system can't work. It's simply too prone to being overtaken by bad faith actors who will inevitably abuse it for self serving purposes in the name of "socialism".
Well maybe these two guys were a product of their time and had some not-so-good ideas, so not every word of theirs should be taken as a gospel.
There's no such thing as "true socialism," that's part of the point of the article.
Why do you think Socialism cares about thinfs like self-serving people?
Not as gospel, sure, but they have been proven correct.
Sure, but it provided a reason why the previous attempts of it failed, and in my opinion it's only a part of the equation.
Socialism can not care, as it's is not a conscious entity. Socialism can only "care" about whatever the people that are trying to implement it care about. And it failed every time in large part, IMO, because people didn't care about things like self-serving people.
Proven correct by whom? Soviet Union which fell apart? North Korea that haven't collapsed yet only because it's propped by China? China which had Mao starve tens of millions people to death and is currently successful only because it's full blown capitalist and "communist" in name only?
Eh, it's a mixed bag. There's a very high concentration of centrist, "vote blue, no matter who," liberals in Political Memes. They're not the whole instance, but they've made a nice little echo chamber that makes them a pretty loud minority.
Blåhaj is here! I don't recall seeing a tankie with a blåhaj account, and also we have personalities outside of politics.
