Look you dirty Marxist, I’ve looked at your bio. Pushing for the extremes you push is crazy. Why don’t you dial it back from 11. Why push past socialism. That’s the way to go if anything.
Communism is just a later stage of Socialism, ie Socialism of a more developed character, similar to how the Capitalism of today is a more developed version of what it was in the 1800s. All Communists are advocates of Socialism, because Socialism is a necessary prerequisite. There’s nothing “crazy” about that at all.
Further, “dirty Marxist?” Is this the 1950s? Yes, I am a Marxist, there are a lot of us on Lemmy, including the developers. I don’t hide being a Marxist-Leninist, I put it on my bio because I want to make it available information for those who want to know.
I’m a working adult, not doxxing my exact age. I live in the US Empire. Neither of those detract from the hard data and historical texts I read regularly as a part of my continued self-study.
Oh wow, very interesting! This is a communist echo chamber, is it not? I mean, there are probably a lot of communist here then, right? Reddit is a liberal echo chamber. And etc. How do you feel about Lenin specifically?
Lemmy is federated, Lemmy.world is more of a “liberal echo-chamber” while an instance like Lemmygrad.ml is going to be more Marxist-Leninist. There’s also Hexbear.net, which has Marxists and Anarchists alike in a united anti-Capitalist space. I don’t personally agree with the idea that a Communist echo chamber in the West can exist, all Communists in the West exist in a system that overwhelmingly demonizes us at every turn, we can’t shut out liberal ideas even if we wanted to. Meanwhile, liberal echo chambers can exist, as liberalism is the status quo.
As for Lenin, I admire him greatly, overall. His analysis of Imperialism, contributions to the National Question, and creation of successful revolutionary strategy are critical to the Marxist Canon. Lenin helped create the world’s first Socialist state, itself a tremendously progressive force for its own working class and a liberatory movement globally in areas such as Cuba, Algeria, China, Korea, Angola, Vietnam, Palestine, and more.
He’s also a really funny writer, in that he always manages to shit-talk Kautsky for his opportunism, and the ultimate betrayal of the Working Class by Kautsky’s Second International.
I wouldn’t call Marxists creating our own spaces outside corporate-controlled media like Reddit “wild,” it’s a natural conclusion. If Marxists are demonized in corporate media and censored, we will create our own spaces where we won’t be silenced.
It’s a lot to respond to, but it’s all very interesting. Not really what I meant by “wild”… more like, this is surprising to find all this, but also I shouldn’t be surprised.
It’s all a cycle, in the political sense. We all want balance, but things get out of balance, and we try to fix it. It’s because our memories suck lol.
I have seen ex soviets pine for the old bolshavik days. I have also seen interviews with those who barely survived starving to death, like millions of others had.
Communism is shit based on facts… not opinion.
What “facts?”

If you don’t mind, what country are you from? An d how old are you?
I’m going to look into the developers of lemmy… if that’s true, I won’t be staying on lemmy.

As for the devs, yes, they are Marxists. Here is a list of essays and compiled resources from the lead developer of Lemmy. You’ll find FOSS projects in general have many Marxists and Anarchists, and few liberals.
