Nearly everyone on Hexbear has an icon and pronouns, which helps with recognizability!

I recognize you! Lots of fun memes, comrade!

Also tons of Hexbear/Grad comrades, and a few common faces on Lemmy.ml. There are too many to really list out, and I’d feel bad leaving someone out accidentally.

I have about ~100 articles on Red Sails and essays on ProleWiki open, plus a few articles from other sites. I read about 5-10 a week, so this should last me a few more months.

Do you think it’s impossible for Russians to tell the truth, ever? Do you do the same for BBC and the New York Times, given how they’ve covered topics like Palestinian genocide?

With a more independent Russian economy, with higher trade with China and the global south, and less cheap LNG for Europe?

That’s not really a mix of both, but just capitalism with welfare. Something being capitalist or socialist is determined by what is principal in the mode of production, and which class is in control of the state.

The EU needs either the US Empire, or to smooth things over with Russia and/or pivot more to China. NATO is just a tool of US imperial power projection in Europe, but the US Empire is pivoting away from Europe and towards Asia and Latin and South America.

NATO countries have served as staging grounds for the US Empire.

Only 3 of the people commenting here are Lemmy.ml accounts, and one of them agrees with your positions. I really think you should take a step back and reconsider your understanding.

You’re on a Lemmy.ml community. Do you have a counter-point, or do you think pointing out that I’m a communist is a counter-point by itself?

Russia has zero interest in conquering Europe, this is just the excuse NATO gives to justify increasing the budget and thus profits for millitary contractors and private industry.

It isn’t really surprising that a federated, FOSS alternative to Reddit and its enshittification has a lot of left-wingers, especially when it’s developed by communists.

Socialist countries have brought comprehensive democratization for society every time they have been established.

No, NATO is thoroughly dependent on the US, it’s essentially a means for US imperial power projection. The EU is thoroughly defanged.

Everything is political, and Lemmy was made as an alternative to Reddit based on ideological reasoning in favor of FOSS and federation. Lemmy was made by communists, and there are a ton of us communists here as a consequence.

That’s not how any of this works.

Only the beginning, before we can abolish class distinctions and fully collectivize production and distribution globally.

To be clear, socialism retains administration and organization, it just gradually abolishes class divisions.

Oh silly me! /s
