I mean yeah, any successful socialist revolution will naturally seek good relations with the most powerful socialist state of all. Doesn’t really answer their question though.

With the USSR overthrown, virtually all mainstream media now is capitalist propaganda. And the capitalist class obviously would not want the working class to prefer a system where workers are in power.

Which just means “tolerating” the capitalist exploitation of workers.

It’s why liberals always passively “tolerate” the decay of capitalism into fascism as is what happened in Germany and Italy, and seems to be happening in the US. They oppose socialist revolution against the capitalist state, because fascism does not harm Capital.

"…the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action’; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season.’ ”

Conservatives are conservatives because they’re completely politically illiterate lol; of course they won’t use terms like “liberals” and “socialists” correctly.

Conservatives are liberals too, i.e they support private property and capitalism, even if western conservatives like calling anyone not far-right liberals.

The liberals that don’t support israel are left-leaning radlibs, and those are clearly not the majority of Reddit users as the last few months have made clear.

Socialist instance bringing up socialism 🤯

Hexbear is a leftist-unity instance of mostly socialists, communists, and anarchists.

Most people on Reddit are liberals (just look at how pro-israel Reddit is right now), so naturally alot of people migrating from Reddit didn’t like it.

That’s mostly been lemmy.world libs in my experience

Lemmy was PLASTERED on the front page. It was on r/place along with “FUCK SPEZ”.

Most reddit users aren’t on there everyday to see those. If you were talking about Lemmy on reddit for a month or two after things calmed down you’d see barely anyone there still know about this place.

Most people on reddit don’t even know about Lemmy lol. I’m sure a large chunk of users, particularly on lefty subs and programming ones, would love to check it out.

Ads definitely aren’t the way to go though since you’d be giving reddit money. Perhaps setting something up with mods of said subreddits?

Damn I have a Kobo and didn’t know this. Will definitely be doing this

I mean clearly not since gravity isn’t affecting her

This has a cool post number from lemmy.ml

Critical support to spez

You probably shouldn’t be accessing a linux distro’s website from mobile but yeah the site does look weird and amateur

Windows 11 is what finally got me to permanently switch over to Linux too lol

At this rate we might just see the Year of the Linux Desktop^TM on our deathbeds!

Basically Hollow Knight meets Sekiro, and the combat looks exactly as good as you’d expect from that combo. Looking forward to this.

Rojava is a decentralized capitalist region with no plans of being socialist/anarchist/etc whose leadership allows the US to use it as a imperialist proxy and military base in the region. Of course the US likes that lmao; the US National Security Council calls it another “israel” in the region.

The Zapatistas are cool comrades who fought off the US and other capitalist forces as all socialist projects have to. Different from most successful socialist revolutions in that it didn’t establish a state (though it was managed centrally by the EZLN), but it has since succumbed to pressure from the government and cartels and has dissolved its municipalities last year — so it’s not quite as successful of a revolution as those that establish a state, some of which have already managed to become nations of millions or global superpowers.

Cuba be SocDem, as was the original intent of the revolutionaries

“Social democracy” back then just meant socialism. The Bolsheviks who established the USSR were also “social democrats”

And your fantasies of the US ever letting a US-backed military dictatorship be overthrown and develop are funny, specially when it’s currently committing a genocide in Palestine and not even letting them get rid of a western colony.
