    First, communism is a nebulous term that is used a lot of different ways by lots of different people. So I don’t think it’s meaningful to condemn or endorse without first defining what you mean. I would encourage you to be more specific about the ideology or political faction you are describing and you might get more support.

    Second, don’t confuse Lemmy.ml with the rest of Lemmy. That place is weird and everyone who’s not a bootlicker gets banned, so it’s a very “special” group of people.

      Usually people dislike the authoritarian communists.

      They don’t necessarily even hate communism. They hate the people that call themselves communist.

      Yes, I’m talking about .lm and hexbear

        ALL pro-communist online discourse is completely taken over by shills immediately….
        there is no possible way that .ml or hexbear are genuinely trying to promote their ideology by being as toxic and hateful as possible to everyone, especially people who are interested in communism.

        also, they don’t even meme right, they take some exaggerated facial expressions from a still from a mainstream 90’s movie, and the point is always “you’re sooo stupid, nah nah, nah nah”.

        there’s no fucking way that grew organically… it’s a shill farm…

        Yeah that’s what I was alluding to. Maybe I should have been a little more explicit but I think there’s a broader point here about how nebulous and contentious terms like this divide people unknowingly, when they may not even disagree on the underlying issues.

        For example, anarchocommunists might feel criticized by this post, but I doubt that’s who OP had in mind.

          Hmmmm we really need to create a capitalismvsocialism community here so that there can be more discussion

          But I fear the hexbear broskis will brigade it with spam images 😅

          I can’t seem to find how to create a community with the app. I guess I need to log in via computer

          Edit: aight, created it… Time for me to provide free labour and be an entrepreneur 🤨 best of both worlds

            You could create it on an instance not federated with them (mine isn’t so I don’t have to deal with their antics). Where did you make it? I’ll check it out I guess.

              Lemm.ee (capitalismvsocialism)

              I want them to be federated. They are more than welcome to share their opinions. I just don’t want them to censor anything.

              I’ll never censor an opinion.

        The person you’re speaking with thinks Russia isn’t committing genocide in Ukraine and seemingly is in defense of most everything they do, so…

        In an anti-communist post, It’s not a big surprise that they’re here to poke holes in everything that projects them in bad lighting.

          And I like the way you- through an impressive feat of mental gymnastics, have found a way to create a fun little fortuitous story showcasing your very own ideology as the hero. Imagine that!

          Nevermind the amount of disbelief one must suspend in order for it to make even the slightest sense- it served its purpose:

          And apparently, that was to pretend to have the upper hand by labeling the fire department as a… communist service? I’m sorry, I nene a moment here-

          lol.

          Okay, so where was I?

          Right! So, It would probably be more accurate to call it a socialist service, but to go so far as to assume it’s a communist one?

          Really?

          Lastly, “whished” isn’t a word. Maybe check your словарь.

    It’s so often we see these bootlickers telling everyone how capitalism is bad, but so fucking rare that you ever see any of them saying how communism is good, let alone proving it without a copypasta wall of text.

    They’re like a bunch of flat-earthers that are convinced everyone else is wrong about a spherical earth, but cannot for the life of a single one of them, produce a shred evidence to validate any of it. So instead, they just post these insanely lengthy declarations of rhetorical psychobabblery and meaningless quotes, and then yell at anyone who tries to inject reality into it.

    Meanwhile, we all float on, going about our lives, on this round planet of ours.

    The same people who pop sieg heils and then cry about nuance and squeal about unfair labels think that everything to the left of Bill Maher is a communist.
