          Imagine thinking pop culture, technology, and news, 95% of what gets discussed in any Lemmy instance, aren't related to politics.

              No, I think it was the opposite. I'm the one who keeps insisting that socialist philosophy doesn't stop in 1924, that the socialist international is not a Leninist organization, and that MLs who quote Chomsky in defense of autocratic politics are way more fucking dense than any lib.

              Y'all are the ones who treat Lenin's half baked, modernist screed like some cringeworthy dogma painted on your cave wall, while continuously demonstrating that you are mostly slacktivists, trolls and keyboard warriors who express no actual interest in political philosophy beyond your painfully outmoded geopolitical head canon, yet go around mocking others for not finding your stick drawings very convincing.

                Okay, so you would be willing to explain some basic marxist ideas to the viewer then?

                Great!

                How do fixed capital, ttotroptf, and the primary mode of worker alienation under capital intersect?(As described by Marx and not successfully criticized up to the present day) This has multiple answers and one of them can be a one word answer.

                That out of the way, on a personal note;

                I work on two different grassroots campaigns because a nearby hospital is closing and the lead pipes are poisoning the community's children. I am heading up internal reorganization to make my org safer, and am donating most of my salary from my bullshit job that lets me post and organize for most of the day to socialist orgs, while surviving as a multiracial trans woman in a rural area of a deep red state. I'm currently reading socialist and anarchist texts written in the last 5 years, on hiatus from reading a book about the soviet dual monetary system because it is machine translated from Russian and is a slog.

                I have more respect for the least educated hexbear slacktivists than I do for anti-communist "socialists" like yourself.

                Log the fuck off and start from the basics again, because you've obviously misunderstood them based on all the dogshit takes I've seen from you. All the anarcho syndies I know who actually do shit would not get along with your sorry ass.

                  Yeah buddy, I'm not your monkey. If you want to have an actual conversation about why, eg, autocracy doesn't do jack shit to resolve exploitation via labor alienation and commodification, I'm here for it. Or if you want to go over why the complete lack of actionable framework for curating the political agency of the individual is, in fact, one of the most glaring and widely discussed holes in Marxist orthodoxy, I'd love to pull that string.

                  But if you are just going to be another smug sectarian who insists on making dishonest campist garbage the bottom of their moral well, then I guess we can keep taking pot shots at eachother. I just think the internet deserves a better class of socialist.

                    I'm sure you can definitely answer it, mhmm. Very believable.

                    autocracy doesn't do jack shit to resolve exploitation via labor alienation and commodification, I'm here for it.

                    This demonstrates a lack of basic knowledge of theory as well as data on how AES have developed their workplaces.

                    But who knows, might be wrong. What did you read that lead you to this conclusion?

                    Or if you want to go over why the complete lack of actionable framework for curating the political agency of the individual is, in fact, one of the most glaring and widely discussed holes in Marxist orthodoxy

                    Who is an orthodox marxist though? Also, youre going to have to define individual agency if you dont think AES states don't cultivate it.

                    But if you are just going to be another smug sectarian

                    Literally in a left unity instance, you're the one claiming the vast majority of socialists throughout the world are bad when you claim they're all autocratic.

                      Yes, people who unironically support Leninism, Stalinism and Maoism are supporters of autocratic, and in many cases tyrannical politics. These are first principles for the vast majority of people who study politics, all over the world. It only feels strange because places like hexbear and lemmygrad have this extremely weird liturgy, where vaguely expressing any form of the idea that some forms of autocracy can be more evil than some forms of capitalism is the worst sin.

                      Really, the only thing which is confusing to me is why anyone who espouses egalitarian and queer friendly principles would associate with people who actively promote a global alliance of countries who would exterminate them. I don't condone association with campists for the same reason I don't condone association with Republicans.

                        where i live a family of people born among the poorest 10% would take an average of nine generations to reach the middle class. nine. even ignoring the generational part, that's about 20 million people condemned, by birth, to a life of deep poverty, lacking even the most basic goods such as food and housing. and we're officially considered a "middle income" country.

                        all, and i mean all AES states solved this problem either completely or nearly so by giving people decent jobs, education, health care and housing

                        so yea it's impossible for me to not find you people absolutely ridiculous when you talk shit about said states just because they "arrested too many citizens" or didn't allow enough fucking free speech. you can rip my fucking tongue off if it means i don't have to see my people getting fucked on a daily basis

                            the largest poverty alleviation campaign in modern history is too small for you to consider good?

                            Russia

                            we're talking about AES, not capitalist states.

                        Most socialists in the world are some type of ml or maoist. Yes, I bet they teach in capitalist schools all over the world that the enemies of capitalism are some kind of monsters. But people actually exposed to socialism in practice seem to think much differently. The CPC has a 95 percent approval rating according to international pollsters. But Im guessing you know better than 1.3 billion Chinese folks about their government.

                        Really, the only thing which is confusing to me is why anyone who espouses egalitarian and queer friendly principles would associate with people who actively promote a global alliance of countries who would exterminate them.

                        Ah yes, the GDR and Cuba, well noted for their exterminationist policies.

                        Socialist countries have a better track record with trans issues than capitalist countries at similar levels of wealth. Socialist countries also don't create far right death squads all over the world that just happen to also exterminate queer folks. There is a reason why so many maoists in the Philippines are queer.

                        The biggest tell of someone who doesnt know anything about Marxism is someone who talks about "Stalinism" as if it's a thing, as if Stalin himself wasn't pretty much just a Leninist.

          Well, you've got a 3 year head start as I understand it, no?

          Hexbear is at 1.62k MAUs, good for 7th most on Lemmy (ignoring lemmynsfw.com because it's presumably filled with alts).

          But your 3.7 million comments absolutely dwarf every other server. Props on that, but it's largely representative of past activity.

      I believe that your admins are blocking that information from being scraped. If that's not the case, then it's probably due to the fact that you guys run a unqiue fork of the Lemmy code.

      But it's certainly not about the timing, afaik.

        I'm from another nation-oriented instance that has an outsized presence, right next to Duitsland.

        My guess is:

        • Germany is a big, populated country
        • People from DACH also gravitate towards feddit.de
        • The culture kinda gives itself to the project
        • The NL and the EU are the main funders of Lemmy
        • The government itself is embracing the Fediverse

      Made my first Lemmy account on Lemmy.world on the first weekend of June, but the outages of late June/early July pushed me (with some encouragement from others who've already made the jump earlier) to make a lemm.ee account. It was only supposed to be an alt, to be used when Lemmy.world is unusable, but the Meta fiasco then made me decide to make lemm.ee my main.

      The .ml is the country extension for Mali, which was colonized (read that how you want) by France along with other regions of Africa. Just recently French troops left Mali after a nine year military operation to fight Islamic militants.
