Welcome ex-Redditors!

Different leftists have a different idea of what constitutes the "State" and what "Statelessness" looks like. For Marxists, the State is the oppressive elements of class society like millitarized police and armies that can only go away once the world is fully publicly owned and planned, and becomes classless. Anarchists however have an issue with hierarchy, rather than class, and want full decentralization and horizontalism. For a Marxist, Anarchism isn't "stateless" as it retains class distinctions (each commune is interested in its own success), Anarchists obviously would see Marxism as not truly stateless.
This difference is why a lot of conversations go nowhere between some Marxists and Anarchists.

And if you ask people if they're pro-Putin and pro-Russia and against Russian crimes against humanity, you'll get banned faster than you can say "Синдром вахтёра"
Goes for Lemmy.ml and some reason Midwest.social as well.

I didn't.
I simply pointed out that [email protected] saying things like "reality has a well known Russian propaganda bias" would be extremely weird for an actual "red blooded, born&bred American", which he claims to be.
So he just as an American patriot learned to speak Russian and won't answer the question of "are you pro-Russian" while actively pushing Russian propaganda?
communists actually are not a fan of fascists
Fun fact, both are totalitarian authoritarianist forms as OF now.
We'll check again about communism when we get to Star Trek levels of utopia, mkay?

If we are to agree with Engels, Communes (or cooperatives) consist entirely of Petite Bourgeoisie, unless there is no interaction outside said commune. Trade between communes implies each commune wishing to get more out of the trade, which implies differences in material wealth in communes that can then escalate into Capitalism. It isn't what we think of as a State, but some form of armed millitia must be maintained to enshrine ownership within a commune, and not outside it, ergo a state enforcing class distinctions.
Really, though, I think the term "stateless" brings ideological baggage rather than logical. What's important is the structures themselves, not how we wish to label them. Conversations around "true" Communism or whatnot inevitably fall into ideological debate based in idealism, rather than a logical analysis of material conditions.

Everybody Sucks Here

I'm jealous, I keep seeing them everywhere. As for the blocking, I've tried to block .ml several times but for some reason it hasn't worked. -_-

RAWDOGG!
It also works better with instances with unique emojis like Hexbear.
-
Dude, I got banned from hexbear also. Who cares? Let them run their instance the way they want. Instances are digital communes and should reflect the values of the members who are a part of it.
Not every instance is going to be for everyone. This is a good thing.
-
Block it then
-
I did twice. Just let go of the past. Embrace the future.

also, why the fuck would we want more redditors here
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame."Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" -
Your tone is unexpected, did I offend you somehow? How?
-
I’ve not defended Russia once. I’m attacking Nazis, and you’ve taken extreme offense to it.

No, it's not how a platform should be run and I will continue pushing for better solutions and then using them.
The design is inherently limiting and stupid. You will just end up in the exact same situation as Reddit where a large percent of the discussion can be blocked at the will of some moron.
