Comms are more like hashtags within an instance, generally, rather than a real community in itself.

Always the same brigading, always the same repeating the same lies. Just for your sanity avoid .ml hex and grad.

Yeah and that common definition is described in dictionaries and encyclopedias.

let the person choose.

Stop with your moral grandstanding.
I like how people have reached a point where simply opposing mass murder is "moral grandstanding"
how fascism has won.
We've been doing lots of fascist things, especially overseas, for a looooong time now. You only care now because it effects people domestically.
literally tearing the government apart and doing damage that will take decades to fix, if it even can be fixed
So a corrupt, imperial, exploitative, oligarchical, giga-warcrime, no-global-accountability, genocidal-regime-bankrolling, country's government may have become more dysfunctional? Drops in the ocean in the bigger picture.
if me calling you out for stupidity for letting fascism win "pushes" you to the far right
So now I'm "far right" because I didn't want to support the DNCs policy of giving a blank check to Israel for war crimes?
then you never actually had any principals.
JFC the irony of that coming from someone telling me to "set aside" my qualms about the Democrats supporting genocide so the blue guys can win this one.
-
Authoritarian bootlickers is ironic, while at leats the Americans are watch their country go full authoritarian fascist right now.
-
Yeah and that common definition is described in dictionaries and encyclopedias.
Except when people on here use it all the time to refer to people who don't meet the definition.
Regardless, I'm happy that y'all are changing the definition through over use since it defangs it. You can insist all you want that "It's only used against the people mentioned in the formal definition" but everyone who's ever seen it in actual use knows you're wrong.
Again, you could also try to tell me that the f-slur only applies to gay people since that's what the dictionary defines it as, but every straight guy who's ever been called it knows you're full of shit.
It's like trying to say that "You're mother's a removed" only applies to people who's mothers are actually prostitutes, it's ridiculous and very obviously not how language works.
-
Because the removed word was tranny.

I certainly can but when someone tells me they do not like me as I am, it clearly tells me I don't like them. No one needs toxic relationships.

Maybe you should keep looking then. As in, someplace else.
You can say all the transphobic slurs you want on Twitter, probably Facebook too.

I'm not gonna be equipped to make a nuanced and detailed take right now but in my experience hexbears are alright, fun to talk to, I can learn things from them, and at worst they're spicy.

In my book, it isn't "tankie" until they are the kind who claim all the authoritarian regimes that were never democratic to be "communist".
You can't have communism without democracy, that's the whole deal, it's in the freaking name, community.Claiming to be "communist" when your regime is authoritarian is like claiming to make soup without liquids.
You can replace water with other stuff like broth, or even beer and wine, to make soup. But you need a liquid to make soup. That's soup's whole deal. Without a liquid as the base, or if you take out all the liquid after doing it, whatever you are doing, whatever you call it, it ain't soup.
For example, portable soup may have "soup" in the name, but it isn't soup. It's dehydrated food. It may have been soup once, but it isn't soup. -

They usually don't have competing liberal parties like Western countries, but instead a more comprehensive form based on electing delegates. For example, the USSR functioned like this:
For further reading, Soviet Democracy by Pat Sloan.
Further, the "point" of Communism isn't Democracy to begin with. Communism is a prediction, not a perfect society created in a lab, of what will necessarily happen as humanity develops. Marx predicted humanity will move towards a fully publicly owned and planned economy with democratic control because industry gets larger and more complex over time. I think if you take away that Communism is based on analysis and not on some Utopia, you take away the reason why Communism makes sense to begin with.

How fun! Just call literally anything you want a genocide (like literally any war, drought, or prison) and then play act outrage when anyone asks you to have a sense of personal shame or honesty!

Oh wait, yes it is. It is literally a nazi tactic. You're doing a literal nazism.

Trump is a fascist and so are you. He's just less of one because he could put his own personal political interests above doing a genocide whereas you were willing to lose an election to go full bore.
