Not my flavor of socialism

[–] Agent641 18 points 1 year ago

national socialism? Yuck!

[–] Ghostalmedia 12 points 1 year ago

I could go for some of that Scandinavian democratic socialism though. Tax the rich and pay for social services that create smooth roads and fewer people looting drug stores to buy fentanyl.

This comment section is full of morons. Socialism is when workers own and operate the means of production democratically. Read a book

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Yes, that's socialism but the post is talking about another kind of socialism, of the nation kind if you know what I mean

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I think you meant Social Democracy. What lemmygrad tankies are interested in is xenophobic, authoritarian, send-people-to-gulag Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.

Being proponents of socialism is not what makes Lemmygrad problematic. If that were the reason world defederated from them then I would actually be upset with the decision.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you elaborate? I don't know what this is in reference to.

Which part? I’m just saying their being proponents of Socialism isn’t a problem. The post is saying that’s why we defederated from them, which it isn’t. It was the way people behaved on that instance (and outside it), the way communities operated, that led to the decision.

There's a big difference between socialism and national socialism, one comes with a salute, authoritarianism, and bigotry.

Half of the comments here think the point of the meme is that communists are right-wing, and half thinks the point is that Nazis are left-wing.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you know that national socialism has nothing to do with tankies, right?

or do I understand something wrong?

[–] LemmysMum 8 points 1 year ago

They aren't real tankies, they're neo-Nazis getting dressed up in drag to play leftists.

Social consciousness takes time to catch up, so we still call these ones tankies.

The people calling Lemmygrad National Socialist/Nazi/etc sound pretty ridiculous considering how those people are explicitly banned, and I’ve seen how quickly they get kicked off the site:

Rule 5. No right-deviationists (patsocs, nazbols, strasserists, duginists, etc)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

“National Socialism” is Nazi, that has nothing to do at all with socialism.

The imperial core has their panties in a bunch again it seems

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everyone trying to make the lazy "every socialist is a Hitler abiding nazi" argument

But when a fellow community moderator on Lemmy.world was literally espousing Hitler "final solution" rhetoric and I politely asked admin to remove him from mod or let me know if he won't so I can leave the community - I was banned within two minutes.

Explains why the lemmy.world hordes are here calling anything left of Biden literally Hitler, every accusation is a confession.

Lemmy will have the same fate as Reddit.
Nostr on the other hand solves the neckbeard mod censorship problem.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Don't free speech instances also completely solve this 'problem'?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So....what? Was it the socialism or their manner? I'm for a certain amount of socialism, but I don't know enough about these guys. Who'd they irritate? Were they just generally irritating?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Ah.....probably should have done my due diligence and followed the thread....

[–] Traegs -1 points 1 year ago

Not enough people (including you) don't know that "Nazi" is an abbreviation for "national socialist".

This meme is about telling Nazis we're not interested in their BS.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lemmygrad isn't full of natsocs though? They'd get banned on sight no warning. Where the hell is this coming from?

Maybe you don't like them but this is just complete slander.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If anyone’s hoping that this lemmy.ML community will defederate from lemmygrad.ML anytime soon, then you obviously don’t understand where the fuck you even are.

Welcome to Democracy.
