There's almost always a more deserving community that could use some good content and growth!

[grammarpolice@lemmy.world]

I genuinely don't. I have engaged in multiple debates about this stuff in the past though. I also outlined a couple of my criticisms, so if you would like to address those instead of trying to be snarky, that would be welcome

[empricorn@feddit.nl]

Are you pretending to be a mod, or was that a bad joke?

Anyway, this isn't an ideology disagreement and I'm not talking about what goes on in other countries/languages, it's an anecdote. I'm telling you what I experienced.

Average .world poster trying to keep their CIA ran platform alive.

[geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml]

.world is basically Reddit. They want Lemmy to be Reddit, and censor Lemmy as if it is Reddit.

[torfdot0@lemmy.world]

I don’t care for the moderation policies of .ml but I don’t see what shitposting about it all the time without the context that they will ban you for “pro capitalist” posts does other than split the fediverse and make users who don’t even know what your problem is act defensive

The “average .ml poster”/“average .world poster” discourse is worn out.

[zomg@lemmy.world]

Can you explain what you mean?

[clot27@lemm.ee]

avg tankie

[honytawk@lemmy.zip]

And this is exactly why .ml is so hated. That comment is pure .ml propaganda.

I have seen tons more .ml posts where mods go rampage mode and remove anything criticizing Communism, Russia, China, authoritarian regimes, .ml itself, their mods, hate on US or any western nation, brigading ...

.ml stands for Marxist Leninist, and they make sure you know it.

[honytawk@lemmy.zip]

Only from those instances that like to brigade others, which is exactly why the defederation button exist.

[honytawk@lemmy.zip]

The fact alone that you made that comment proves otherwise

[scott_of_the_arctic@lemmy.world]

Lemmy.ml and hexbear are not marxist. They are fascists cosplaying as soviet communists. Many people don't make that distinction though.

[honytawk@lemmy.zip]

You don't get more free in authoritarian instances like .ml

[kingshrubb@lemmy.ml]

So far I have been censored on .world but not on .ml

[geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml]

You rarely see negative posts about .world because they get removed.

Remember the MBFC debacle?

[petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

They're saying .world is anti-china.

[snowpix@lemmy.ca]

Holy shit. Antiyanks is STILL making new accounts? I thought it was funny months ago but now this is just sad.

[archomrade@midwest.social]

probably because that distinction is unfounded.

[antioutsideaktion@lemmy.ml]

It was a good joke. And you're not sharing an anecdote of what happened to you. You're vague posting and expecting people to nod along without so much as a broad categorization of what you're talking about, let alone details.

[scott_of_the_arctic@lemmy.world]

Believe it or not, there's nothing saying a communist country needs to be a one party dictatorship. It would be perfectly achievable though democracy if the majority of the population actually wanted to take collective responsibility for the country and wanted people to be treated fairly. The reason communist dictatorships fail is because they are dictatorships, not because they are communist.

[archomrade@midwest.social]

Marx had very little to say about the governing structure of communist governments, but did actually describe socialism as a 'dictatorship of the proletariat'.

What you're taking issue with is how marxism was later applied by various political projects, but they all still fall under the umbrella term of Marxism.

Put another way: all Marxist-lenninists are Marxist but not all Marxists are Marxist-lenninists
