Czechoslovakia was 1968, well after Stalin’s death. You’re referring to Khrushchev in Hungary in 1956, which is indeed the incident that led to the split in the CPGB, but when people use the term today they use it against those who generally support socialist states.
People that support existing socialist states.
Kiev has been murdering civilians in the Donbass region since the Banderite coup in 2014. Pointing out the reverance the modern Kiev regime has for Nazi collaborators like Stepan Bandera, and their far-right politics, is just highlighting an uncomfortable truth for westerners that rely on fascists. Despite your hatred of communists, we aren’t going anywhere.
Who sets those terms? And why don’t the people living in Donetsk and Luhansk get a say?
Nope. Just like the charges against Maduro, this is bullshit used to manufacture consent.
This is imperialist bullshit, what’s going on is a leftist uprising against the right-wing government and the US Empire supporting it.
Do you have evidence that Russia hasn’t taken Shesterovka?
Do you want to see communist content more? Lemmy.ml or something like Lemmy.zip can maximize federation. Do you want to pretty much only see content from leftists of various stripes, and want to defederate from non-leftists? Hexbear.net is nice too. It depends on what you want.
Personally, I think the best thing to do is scroll some instances locally without an account and see if you like the vibe, then transfer over to the one that fits you the best.
Lemmy is pretty great. Growth isn’t as important when profit isn’t the goal, and I like having a lot of communists. It might appear more dead from your side because you’re not on an instance federated with most of them, though. Lemmy.world is definitely more similar to reddit.
The west tries to hush up actual popular resistance while magnifying color revolutions. That’s a good litmus test to see that yes, this is genuine popular resistance.
Aren’t you getting that reversed? Kiev has been attacking the seperatists in Donetsk and Luhansk, civilians included, since the Banderite coup in 2014.
No worries! It makes it more complicated to start, but it also has its strengths.
It’s only true in that you can interact with other federated instances on any federated account, but not all instances are federated with every instance. I can see Hexbear.net just fine from here, as can I see Lemmygrad.ml, but you will never see them from Lemmy.world accounts.
There’s also the fact that many instances vary in how they run things, what their local sort is like, etc.
The userbase is different, plus you’re on Lemmy.world, which is defederated from active communist instances like Hexbear.net.
Sorry to hear that, that’s unfortunate.
Yep, it’s something that shifts gradually with the mode of production.
What makes you say unable to? The CPC, as impressive as what they’ve accomplished is, are not gods. They are actively cracking down on and reducing it. It isn’t a cultural phenomenon, but a material one caused by the ongoing contradiction between capital and the socialist system, one which is being steered by the CPC along the socialist road.
Sally Yin on Twitter shares lots of videos. Mostly short form and images, and usually of Pyongyang in particular (which is of course one of the nicer and more developed areas in the DPRK), but also some of the countryside and smaller cities. No idea about her being a transphobe or not, but I have not seen anything transphobic from her yet.
Nah, southern Koreans are pissed, if highly divided on Yoon. It’s southern Korean tradition to kill or imprison presidents at this point. Yoon will likely serve most if not all of his sentence.
