"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

This was originally posted in r/TankieTheDeprogram by firefighter 430 (not the same image though). On reddit the ACP (American Communist Party) is infiltrating subreddits, and tried to infiltrate the tankie one too. Be aware that the ACP is not marxist nor are they communist. Pls stay safe everyone on lemmygrad.

Yep! Grad is nice because there's a good understanding of correct criticism and a common grounding in Marxism-Leninism. It's an extremely chill space for me that I greatly appreciate for discussion.

Meanwhile on reddit: "100 gorbillion dead in Russia and 40 bazillion killed in the great leap forward."

Lemmy.world and the other liberal instances too.

We haven't defederated from them?

[–] Cowbee@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Grad doesn't defederate normally, but .world defederated from us. They can't see us but we can see them.

Another thing which i greatly appreciate about this place. I don't support defederation unless it is with an instance that is specifically dedicated to spamming our instance with bots. Otherwise i think the possibility for debate should remain open, so long as there is good moderation keeping everything civil and within reasonable bounds. It's too bad the lib instances are too afraid of being owned by our facts and logic that they just chicken out and defederate, lol.

Yep, Grad is one of the calmest instances I've seen. I spend a good deal of time on Lemmy.ml too, but I go there knowing it's not really going to be a relaxing time or with high quality discussion.

exactly. I do find that it would be great if more people could understand the need and purpose of all this faster but I also get that the material conditions arent right for that atm. i would be highly interested to see how the grad progressed in the past couple of years in terms of activity and users. that could tell us about how politics affects ML ideological accession.
