I’m astonished at how sensitive the mods must be over there.
Apparently you’re allowed to say whatever baseless slander you like about the eeeeevil tankies but the minute someone says “Hold up a sec, you claim to be anti-authoritarian and yet you support authoritarianism either explicitly or implicitly?” and they have to shut it down immediately.
Regardless, I think I made a pretty solid counterargument to the typical complaint about communism being authoritarian.
Mfers skim read the Wikipedia entry on Hannah Arendt and start thinking they’re justified in slinging accusations about “muh authoritarianism” smh.
Never, ever trust that anything you put on another fed that isn’t like… Hexbear, will be allowed to stay. Some of these mfs real redditor-like; and that’s not praise
I don’t think comparing someone to a Redditor could ever be taken as praise in any circumstance
Redditors, unite! We, sirs, will win the internet today.
Wubba lubba dub dub, comrades. Wubba lubba dub dub. ✊️🤓
I remember back when I used to wallow in the toxic radioactive slogs of r/memes, redditors would pride themselves on being virgins.
They agree with fascists on every… valuable… part of their worldview.
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN VALUABLE PART OF A FASCIST’S WORLDVIEW??
‘Valuable’ as in important; crucial to fascism, such as respect for the profit motive. To see one fascist describe it:
Hitler […] also recognized the importance of the profit motive. Deprived of the prospect of having his efforts rewarded, the person of ability often refrains from running risks. The economic failure of Communism has demonstrated this. In the absence of personal incentives and the opportunity for real individual initiative, the Soviet “command economy” lagged in all but a few fields, its industry years behind its competitors.
State monopoly tolls the death of all initiative, and hence of all progress.
For all men selflessly to pool their wealth might be marvelous, but it is also contrary to human nature. Nearly every man desires that his labor shall improve his own condition and that of his family, and feels that his brain, creative imagination, and persistence well deserve their reward.
its industry years behind its competitors
Is he talking about before of after Hitler shat his pants realizing Soviet’s industry far outmatched Germany’s?
human nature
Ah, nothing beats the classics 🍷
It’s funny isn’t it, now that we know how it all turned out. Tragic af. I doubt it could’ve been avoided even if the Nazis knew that communist organisation is/was superior. As we’re seeing again today, the yanks are oblivious to the power of using dialectical materialism to organise over a billion people.
I still see it on there. But I barely understand how this site works to be honest. Am dum millenial here
killing enough people so there’s enough to go around
You see stupid tankie, material wealth is just a big limited pile of stuff that is just there to take, so less people = more for everyone, easy! 🤡
Libs:
“Chiner killed a bunch of its own people and that’s how they lifted themselves out of extreme poverty!!”
Also libs:
“Chiner is sitting on a demographic timebomb [which is false, btw] which will cause their population to crash and it will tank their economy!!”
Is the demographic timebomb thing not true? Isn’t it happening to S Korea and Japan RN? China is promising but it’s not immune from hard expectations like those two nations and crushing city labor, how will China avoid the demographic timebomb from a Marxist perspective?
Oh that’s really weird, it’s not showing up for me when I go into that thread? (Hence why I had to paste a screenshot of my comment and edit it into the image.)
Looks like you’re in a dum millenial contest but your opponent is me 💀
Edit: If I type the hyperlink in your screenshot into my browser, I can access the comment - but it looks like it’s only visible from the lemmygrad end or something? I wonder if federation works bi-directionally and one side has defederated but lemmygrad hasn’t or something like that? Weird.
Edit 2: Damn, this gets weirder. Different instances show different comments — some comments are consistently shown across instances, some comments only appear on certain instances, and the up/downvote counts are wildly different across the instances too. One comment will be at -5 on one instance and yet it will be at +7 on another.
Does it say, ‘removed by mod’ on lemmy.ml?
If not, it may be a bug or maybe you blocked the user? Blocking a user hides all comments that branch off from that user’s comments.
If it was removed by a mod, it could be due to the perceived call for violence. Depending on the mods location, that kind of thing can result in unwanted attention.
This is where it gets weird.
I’m using Connect on android and my instance is Lemmygrad.ml (which is what the app says I’m connecting via when I go to the thread) but when I copy-paste a permalink to the top-level comment my browser directs me to an instance that is discuss.tchncs.de (?) and my comment isn’t shown nor is there a message stating that it’s been removed.
When I access the comment thread via my browser and manually navigating to it from lemmy.ml, I can see my comment in the thread (plus a lot more comments) and the vote counts for comments that span both of these instances are significantly different. The same goes for navigating to lemmygrad.ml.
fuckin hate libs
