It’s funny, because Lemmy MLS gets real mad when you point out that they are infested with right wing provocateurs, but they they have yogthos modding a bunch of shit without a lick of irony.
It’s also strange how they constantly attack socialists, calling them libs, like 80% of the time and attack actual libs or even the far right not even a quarter a much as they attack socialists.
Not that strange…they’re both authoritarian.
When you say both, are you including socialists? I don’t get the exact meaning of your comment.
Tankies and right wingers? I guess the tankies are “socialist” ish
I asked for clarification since many, if not most socialists deffo arent authoritarian.
Yeah I wasn’t exactly clear in my wording.
All governments rely on coercion to maintain their authority.
Correct, that’s why I’m an anarchist.
The state is fundamentally an instrument that’s used by the ruling class to maintain its dominance.
This guy is really making the anarchist case for us, eh?
But then he goes on to say:
What ultimately matters is which class controls the institutions of state violence.
He already said it earlier: the ruling class. Always, and by definition. The ruling class always controls the institutions of state violence, which the ruling class then uses to maintain its dominance.
If some of the working class become ruling class, they will inevitably and swiftly be corrupted by that power and become just the same as every other ruling class.
Hey, I just got banned from there for calling it statist propaganda. Apparently that’s bigotry, lol.
