I'll be interested to read comparisons and contrasts with pacific island nation social structures with socialist theories. Considering a lot of those structures are an amalgam of Islander traditions influenced by imported organisational systems I'd imagine theres some very striking similarities and other parts that aren't so similar.
Never went on r/aussocialism, so i don't know what that was like, but a lot of these communities on lemmy I find can be very doctrinal or even dogmatic.
