Yes, I've read Marx and Engels. Yes, I've read Conquest Of Bread. Yes, I've read Lenin. Yes, I've read up on the history of socialist movements.
But yeah, I'm just an ignorant anti-tankie swine. If I read one more Holy Text, THEN I would be enlightened.
I adore Marx, and the only reason I don't regard myself as a Marxist is because I'm not married to many of his interpretations which have been somewhat superseded by later sociological theory on the importance of non-material conditions and postmodernist critiques of structured narratives within the soft sciences. But hey, I'm just some right-wing chud, clearly. I hold every opinion ascribed to me in this comment thread despite often and on this very website espousing the literal opposite position.
This is why tankies and their apologists are so fucking insufferable.
So which communities in the ml instance have such views?
The admins for fucking one. I'm about to go to bed, but you can check about 'Sinophobia' bans for talking about the Uyghur genocide for proof on the admins. I'll dredge up some choice examples from Lemmygrad when I wake up, if you're still interested.
Damn I left reddit because of shitty politically moralized admin censorship. Is there really no escape from this hell
Defederation, we got the tools, just use em.
I really don't know how to use the tools lol. I wouldn't begin to know hot to filter .ml instances
