I don’t consider myself a Marxist, Leninist, or communist of any stripe and haven’t had a problem so far. I’m far enough left that I refuse to call myself a liberal, but I suspect the folks who consider themselves Marxists probably think I’m too far right to self-identify as a leftist. (Although I do.)
Shitload of downvotes a time or two, but that’s about it. I just wanted to be on a Lemmy instance that was honoring the fedipact, and preferred it to have an instance ethos to the left of mine rather than to the right of it.
An intelligent conversation is not one that desires oppression, economic or whatever kind. That kind of dialogue you seem to refer to is basically pseudo intellectual hipster culture, the shit you see on reddit and in liberal spaces.
Meh, I’m not the one aggressively trying to shut down any conversation which doesn’t go hard enough on ML fan service. I actually came to .ml at first hoping to find a more academically oriented leftist community which was willing to engage with topics other than “let’s relitigate the cold war.”
You are obviously free to dismiss any criticism of this community as “NATO chauvinist propaganda” or whatever, just as im free to roll my eyes and say that the world deserves a better class of socialist.
Why would State Capitalists allow discussions about actual communism? God forbid he people get it into their head to form trade unions…
To be fair, .ml bans you pretty quickly for discussing anything outside of a pretty narrow stripe of Marxist Leninist orthodoxy as well.

I like it here.
Hats off, from a Marxist.
This is just a meme everyone repeats until they believe it.

Ah I didn’t know about this - how can I see that list?

A lot of the blocks are due to spam attacks from instances that have (or had) open registration.
Thanks!

I don’t think that’s a fair criticizm. After all my dumb ass hasn’t been banned (so far).
No there are bans for pro NATO bullshit. It so happens that ML ideology opposes western imperialism and English fascism.
So you are saying that you ban anyone that wants a intelligent conversation and mildly disagrees with you?
Fortunately logic and reality are not really things that dictatorships really all that interested in. So I guess carry on.

I can just look at the modlog and tell that conversations about oppression are only allowed in one direction
I can just look at your arguments and tell that conversations with you about politics are only allowed in one direction
