Russia is currently beating Ukraine + NATO support, I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here.

This seems more based on capitalist-realism than on practical analysis. The US Empire is on its way out, and with it will go Israel.

Israel isn’t going to last forever, the illusion of its indestructability has been destroyed and the resistance’s bravery and courage in resisting the entity are known around the world. Palestinians will not cease until Palestine is free, and Israel is going to crumble as more settlers flee and investments dry up.

If you mean the Statesian, pro-capitalist kind, it’s mostly a silly ideology pushed by small business owners and other highly individualist classes that are nonetheless pushed towards the working classes by competing against ever-growing monopolies.

The left wing version, I disagree with as you can’t dismantle the state without removing the basis of the state, class, and you can’t remove class without collectivizing production and distribution. Small, local cells loosely organized in a decentralist fashion would still result in class struggle and thus a form of state to hold one class over the others. That said, the leftists are valuable allies at times despite disagreements.

I happened to connect with an amazing person, and I love being married to them. I would have been fine had I been single, or dated casually for the rest of my life, but nevertheless the person I met has changed both me and my life completely.

The world doesn’t fear Russia, though, the world fears the west. It’s the west that fears Russia, and is harvesting Ukraine for resources and racking them up with debt for hand-me-down surplus to support the far-right Banderites in Kiev ethnic cleansing the Donbass region. The Ukrainian people increasingly want peace over war, not to fight to the last Ukrainian, it’s the Banderites that want to sacrifice Ukrainain people while they hide from the frontlines.

Try shopping around for different instances, the one you’re on can actually see a huge number of communities that accounts on Lemmy.world can’t see, as an example. One of the better ways to use Lemmy is to either scroll an instance you vibe with locally, or by using a broad account and browsing by subscribed communities.

Have a great day to you too!

Nah, I just checked your modlog when you said people can get banned “for disagreeing with North Korea.” You can do it for anyone, on the default web viewer just click the 3 dots then “XYZ Moderation History.” No stalking necessary.

I do argue about politics, sure. I don’t stalk people to do it, though. I do touch grass, and my spouse and I hug plenty, thanks for worrying though. Not a CPC agent either, though that would be cool.

I am a Statesian, and they certainly didn’t teach me how to think critically about the system I live in nor how it lies about its geopolitical enemies. That’s something that came with living and working in a brutal system gradually. I sincerely doubt you were taught by the system you live in to be genuinely critical of the system you live in, Statesian or not.

Also, don’t call me babe.

Complaining about “violent antifa psychos” isn’t really constructive discussion, it’s just open admission to being against antifascism.

Leftists don’t really have “rigid” worldviews, but consistent ones. It takes a great deal of confronting the status quo ideologically, as well as study, in order to definitively say that capitalism has to go. Liberals tend to just be born into their liberalism, and thus often hold extremely contradictory or irrational views.

You called countries like China “shitholes,” and were taking issue with the fact that the US Empire has been a constant source of pain and misery for the entire planet, yet the DPRK is labeled as a “terrorizing rogue state.” It isn’t because you don’t agree with the DPRK, it’s because you were being chauvanist and minimizing the fact that the DPRK is a very peaceful country internationally (since the Korean War) while the US Empire has been committing vast amounts of genocide and imperialism the world over.

Not all disagreements are “purity testing.”

All communists are at first socialists, communism is a post-socialist mode of production. Liberals on the other hand support capitalism, and do unfortunately outnumber the socialists/communists. It isn’t about “purity tests,” there are fundamental disagreements among people that cannot be reconciled.

“Tankie” is just a pejorative for Marxists in the form of a strawman laden with contradictions. Marxism-Leninism is by no means right-wing, but that just goes to show you how ridiculous the strawman is. Lemmy.world is more liberal, anti-communist, so there’s lots of red scare fearmongering over there.

As a side note, if you want a broader user experience, it might be better to make an account on sopuli.xyz or something like it that doesn’t block the major leftist instances like Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml, which Lemmy.world unfortunately does.

That’s certainly one way to frame it, though I don’t think it’s particularly accurate. In general, there are 3 major groups:

1. The Marxist-Leninists. On Lemmy, the overwhelming majority of Marxists are MLs. The MLs are found primarily on Lemmy.ml, Hexbear.net, and Lemmygrad.ml. This group was here first.

2. The anarchists. These vary much more than the Marxists do in views. They are primarily found on dbzer0/anarchist nexus, Hexbear.net, and some on slrpnk.net. This group arrived a bit after the Marxists.

3. The liberals. These vary a bit more than the anarchists do, from the more cryptofascist-aligned primarily found on sh.itjust.works, to the more DNC-aligned found on Lemmy.world, to the more social democratic found on blahaj and slrpnk.net. This group is where most newcomers go to.

These 3 groups make up the broad majority, and each instance has their own mixtute of the 3 major groups. This largely shapes how instances interact. There isn’t a grand Marxist war on the fediverse, you’re looking from the more liberal-aligned side of things.

By ratio, there are way more communists than on Reddit. There are three major groups, anarchists, Marxist-Leninists, and liberals, and each instance tends to have more of one or maybe 2 than the others. Getting a feel for instance culture goes a long way.

Doin my best here 🫡

Godspeed, comrade 🫡

Awesome! I’d love to learn it too for that reason, I just have other languages that are a higher priority for me.

There’s so much that was never translated, as you of course know.

They were always for imperialist ambitions and genocide, from the outset.
