Not sure what you’re talking about. Since the summer it’s just been post about Dems and how Republicans are weirdos. Honestly, the socialist presence on Lemmy is lacking.
Personally i don’t mind the communism as much (I share many of its beliefs and goals) as the tankieism.
No, China and Russia are not role models but hostile actors. No, their imperialist bullshit and human rights violations or straight up war crimes aren’t justified because the west did a thing that one time and it was also evil. No, the russian kleptocracy and chinese state capitalism are not socialism or communism.
This. Hexbear and .ml are shit for this
Then again, I got my comments erased just pointing out Israel’s genocide in a Technology thread directly related to the OP which was a news article about Facebook starting to block such things on their platforms, so fuck .world too.

Can you meaningfully explain the difference in your eyes?

Not a single Communist thinks Russia is a role model. The PRC being a role model is far more accurate than the implication that Communists like the Russian Federation, though.

The West is by far the largest purveyors of War Crimes the world over, and by far the most Imperialist. I suggest you read Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism. It should help you understand what Communists refer tk when they mention Imperialism, specifically a form of international monopoly Capitalism and exploitation.

Again, nobody thinks the Russian Federation is Socialist or Communist, just anti-West.
As for China, they are Socialist. They have a Socialist Market Economy, the aim of which is to guide market developments into large syndicates that are then absorbed into the public sector, which makes up the majority of the PRC’s economy. The PRC is socialized by degree, which is how Marx described the transition from Capitalism to Communism, repeated by Engels here, in The Principles of Communism:
Will it be possible for private property to be abolished at one stroke?
No, no more than existing forces of production can at one stroke be multiplied to the extent necessary for the creation of a communal society.
In all probability, the proletarian revolution will transform existing society gradually and will be able to abolish private property only when the means of production are available in sufficient quantity.
China’s economy works by that same function, markets coalesce into syndicates, socializing themselves and making these syndicates ripe for public ownership. This is the Dialectical path of Historical Materialism, the conditions for Socialism are born from Capitalism. “State Capitalism” is incorrect.
She is literally a rebrand of Biden, would you call what is happening in Palestine and Lebanon ethnic cleansing? I don’t feel like debating nonexistent changes to the same political platform of lebensraum
I would call what’s happening in Palestine beyond Biden’s meaningful control.
He can cease arms shipments to Israel, but not without losing the election by angering the Jewish voters, and then Trump will nuke Gaza and build one of his high-rises on the rubble. That would solve nothing.
Take it up with Netanyahu and his Israeli supporters. They’re the ones who decided to bomb the hell out of Gaza, not Biden.
BTW, Lebensraum involved taking people’s houses, not blowing them up.

You obviously haven’t been on all the meme sublemmies that are nothing but capitalism bad.
Yeah, I see lots of bitching about there being (gasp) communists on a platform that was built by communists.

I don’t remember Harris openly advocating ethnic cleansing. If you’re going to say she’s equivalent to Hitler, I expect you to bring receipts.

I’m sure that Gish gallop would make Vance proud, but you’ll have to do better than that if you want to fool me.
You’ll also need another account, because that one is blocked. Good day.
Hah, coward. You try to start a fight with me half asleep and you still lose.
And then blocks you. Coward indeed.
