TO THE ADMINS: Read this thread and give me one good reason why federating with toxic, propaganda spreading tankie loons is a good idea.

No one wants those fucks, or the alt right dipshits for that matter, around, and they’re spreading blatant lies, yet I see they are here. Does lemm.ee only care about boosting its numbers and is willing to sink to new lows to do it, I wonder? 🤔

    Yes, you’re right. Sometimes I think that communism is merely an economic system. But thinking about Stalin, Mao and Il-Sung, whose communist developments where economic, social, democratic and whatnot, it’s sometimes hard to discriminate the noise from the useful information too.

    Besides, I can’t understand why communists / tankies are so prone to support dictators. Dictatorship is not exclusive to communism, even capitalism had and has some kind of dictatorships: Hungary, Belarus…

      I think capitalism leans into the human trait that wants power. I think communism leans into the human trait that wants to be taken care of. That’s a little off, but you get the idea. In both dictatorship is possible but capitalism has more infighting.
