I just joined because it didn't require an email to sign up. Not sure what else happens in this instance tbh.
Authoritarians cosplaying socialist/communists.
Sums them up perfectly. Pretends to be communist but acts like MAGA.
Edit: LOL looks like the tankies found this comment thread.
Western leftists only like failed socialism.
If that's what you call success, then maybe we should keep brainstorming.
Defeat of Tsarist absolutism, defeat of Nazism, universal healthcare and free education to the highest level, lowest inequality rates in the history of the region, doubling of life expectancy in the span of 30 years, guaranteed housing and abolition of homelessness, abolition of unemployment, respect and promotion of local languages and cultures to an until-then unseen degree (compare the evolution of Occitan speakers to that of Uzbek speakers), representation of women in institutions and having more female engineers by the 1960s than the rest of the world combined, urban planning based on pedestrians and public transit, support of anti-imperialist struggles all over the global south, unparalleled levels of worker unionization... All of this saved a hundred million lives in the USSR alone.
I do call all of this much more successful than any other system we've had. There were mistakes, as in any real political project, but actually winning the class war is one of the biggest markers of success.
Yeah that's clearly working out great.
It’s not as bad as it’s made out to be, but there are mods there that are the “whitest of knights” for authoritarians, despots, and fascists while pretending that it’s not the polar opposite of leftism.
it's where all the tankies (supposed leftists who don't understand that there's no existing state that works for the good of its people) hang out. tbh I have no issues with the non political .ml users
I thought this was a weird submission to unix_surrealism at first thanks to my brain immediately going to the puffer
… grendel is a psyop
A snake, a cat, a living toxic ball full of venom ...and a puffer fish.
I am American and say .ml is the perfect representation of the American population.
Is it sarcasm?
Not at all. The only group I have ever seen that is as toxic as .ML was The Donald on Reddit. The Mods and users are literal propaganda machines and they all have alts and abuse the shit out of everyone who doesn't boot lick authoritarians.
I honestly believe they are no different than the Alt-right. Maybe it is one of those horse shoe things, but more likely they are just disingenuous conservatives.
Id bet disingenuous conservatives from other cultures mixed in with useful idiot Americans.
Americans have a tendency to think the entire world is just McDonalds after McDonalds. There are millions of people on this earth that dont see things the way Americans do and the internet has no boarders.
more a horseshoe thing. Once someone gets so authoritarian, there's kinda' no point in even looking for differences. They're both interested in tasting boot, so fuck 'em both.
nope, it would be center-right wing with a dash of "further right, but not maga right as a whole. is representative of america, ultra-left wing is a very small minority often with a younger population that isnt cognizant of history of "left leaning governments', decades of anti-communist propaganda see to that a left leaning party never has power.
