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

[ilovethebomb@lemm.ee]

They consider themselves a general purpose instance, with minimal oversight or censorship, and I've had no issues so far. Either them or sh.itjust.works are the ones I'd choose.

[softteeth@lemmy.world]

Name me an instance that's less toxic than Blahaj and I will move there

[snowpix@lemmy.ca]

It's a shame they're bending over backwards for a troll that is making fun of them.

[skyezopen@lemmy.world]

Make a negative comment about China on ml I dare ya.

[zombifrancis@sh.itjust.works]

I'll just point out you called Marxism a trash ideology and then subsequently called it unnecessary because of an ideology that is almost inherently rooted in Marxism.

[grammarpolice@lemmy.world]

It's trash because of the second criticism i stated and others i have that i wasn't ready to type out.
