My first time experience here had been very politically charged and I asked about it in askLemmy and I was told to immediately block you people in the options I was given
I had the opportunity to browse around and found out that you folk were decent and weren’t as awful as told in that post I made
How do you view .world and by extension other instances that defederate (and view negatively) towards you?
I’m shocked at how often people there claim that all our Communism and Trans posting is some sort of front and that we are actually secret right-wingers.
I have never been able to get a straight answer when I ask why a group of supposed right wingers would make a largely isolated instance to talk about theory, shitpost, support trans rights, foster a welcoming community, and create mutual aid comms to raise money for community members and Palestinians, but all ironically of course.
constructing an intricate fantasy world is more appealing than acknowledging you’ve spent decades being wrong
Sadly, correct. That’s why criticism and self-criticism are core to many Leftist spaces, and a major hurdle for western leftists to jump over.
We literally did the Long March on a hopelessly incompatible fork of Lemmy years before the Reddit Exodus took place
we must remember the harsh days of the timewall
Libs really did fall out of a coconut tree
Due to decades of suppression of the left, it is easier for Americans to imagine insane right-wing psyops than principled Marxist-Leninists.
As we all know, right-wingers are notorious for hating capitalism
I mean, kinda? Many right wingers will critique Capitalism but call it “corporatism,” AnCaps in a nutshell.
Fascists will claim to be against capitalism (citing Judeo-Bolshevism as the reason its not working), then turn everything over to capitalists so long as they help with genocide. AnCaps are just fascists too chickenshit to identify themselves as such.
Oh absolutely. The thing with right-wingers is that they all have failed analysis so even though many clearly are alienated by Capitalism, they still think they can be saved by it.
The greatest lies often contain a kernel of truth
It’s seriously like some crap cavemen would come up with after a nasty encounter with another group of cavemen where most of the members of their group were killed and they had to make up a mythology to justify the L they took.
