I get the ironic angle of the mod being “authoritarian” but that’s their space and if they decide they don’t want to deal with trolls arguing about they can ban people.
Just like trans communities can and should ban people who just want to argue about if trans people are real. If you try to argue against it you’re just being a dick and distracting from the point of the community.
If the point of a community is spreading misinformation, you have a moral obligation to distract from the point of the community
Are you suggesting America isn’t authoritarian?
To be fair, he didnt say he was against authoritariamism.
Is communism even possible without authoritarianism?
Edit: lol I pissed off the tankies
If everything is shared under communism, that would include political power. thus (imo) communism is a direct democracy.
Edit: forgot what thread I was in. What the hell does communism have to do with US authoritarianism?
Yeah, but humans are awful animals and true communism is a pipe dream.
The awful ones are awful. They’re allowed to take power in the current system. We have awful rulers and the awful people who support them. We need only be aware of this phenomenon to mitigate it. Your solution appears to be not accepting possible solutions, which is just inaction. How does inaction stop awful people from destroying the planet?
They’ve been allowed to take power in basically every system that has ever existed. The entirety of human history is a showcase of the fact.
Sure, we might be able to be better on small scales, but there’s a reason communism has never worked, and will never work on a large scale.
It looks great on paper, but not so much in practice. There’s always going to be evil people who are only interested in personal gain at the expense of others who are charismatic enough to dupe the population into letting them and participate in the committing of atrocities.
Humans are just too easy to corrupt. I think it’ll likely be our Great Filter.
I didn’t make it in the screenshot 😔
I also got banned for that LMFAO
I didn’t even say anything about the ‘strawman’ I just said that “ban you for speaking too loudly” was bad
“We’re good and you’re bad”
Holy shit lmao you can’t write irony this good.
Just for the lols, someone try asking them if they’re pro-Russian
They 100% are, and tell you that they don’t actually support Russia but have a “temporary ally” against the capitalist super power… Blablabla…
In the end they support the genocide in Ukraine, hate that genocide in Palestine and generally cherry pick what they seem fascist (the US and Europe) and what not (China, while Russia is temporarily fascist, but that’s okay because of reasons).
Those guys were never politically active in the real world. It’s super sad, because deep inside they are on the right track. They just would change one (capital fascist) system by stalinism (which they call communism).
Oh it’s irony you wanted?
What the hell is going on with that community? :D
Hahaha this comm’s mods are on the sauce, this is insane.
“Alright you’re banned for a month for being an uncivil asshole, but when you get back I’ll make your uncivil ass a mod.”
I’m the other mod of that sub. Alphanerd was allowed to come back as a mod provisionally as he was the creator of the community and the most active. He chose to waste that opportunity and is no longer a mod.
Kudos. FYI they seem to have defaced your sidebar.
Lol. That’s actually hilarious.
Seems like all comments here are “whatabout communism”
US being an authoritarian shithole is pretty undisputable reality. It could be preferable to debate the point than outright banning the possibly misinformed, but the assumption of military bot troll propagandist is not unreasonable.
You and I disagree, so it’s obvious you’re just a Kremlin bot account, here to sow discontent.
