Society doesn’t exist anymore. Capitalism has atomized us all into individual crabs, clawing to get out of the pot, paying no heed to who we drag down in our struggles.

How does that boot taste down there?

I guess it’s based if you hate successful socialist projects 🤷

Why are you talking about countries? This thread is about social media.

Where have you been? Most anarkiddies on Lemmy think that China is worse than the US.

When those rules are to blanket ban everyone who disagrees with you, that’s authoritarian.

Are you really out here spouting horseshoe theory? Imagine equating communism with fascism in 2025 while claiming to be a leftist.

LOL. Your main instance — lemmy.blahaj.zone —has a blanket ban on all Marxist Leninists, regardless of whether they are “tankie” or not. That is the most authoritarian thing I have seen on Lemmy so far and it’s from a self-proclaimed anarchist instance. The hypocrisy is hilarious. Anarkiddies are so unserious.

You can also critically support China’s socialist and anti-imperialist position while simultaneously criticizing the mistakes they’ve made.

However, blind critique of China and saying everything they do is authoritarian explicitly helps capitalism and hurts socialism.

The term “tankie” now has about as much meaning now as “woke” does. It’s just a generalization for people to smear an ideology they don’t understand, and have no intention of trying to understand, because they fear that any perceived interest would cause ostracization from their group. People who use tankie almost certainly have no real historical understanding of Marxist projects beyond what they learned in grade school and what their favorite podcaster is saying.

There’s a large Marxist-Leninist smear campaign happening on Lemmy right now, with most people centering their hate on users of lemmy.ml

I mean, all moderated spaces on the internet suffer from this problem. Lemmy.blahaj.zone has a blanket ban on all Marxist-Leninists because they think we are all authoritarian. Which, btw, is hilariously ironic. An anarchist space on an anti-censorship platform has a rule that says “No Authoritarians,” but they resort to Authoritarianism to enforce it. You can’t make this shit up.
