Why would State Capitalists allow discussions about actual communism? God forbid he people get it into their head to form trade unions..

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I can't quite tell if this is a parody, the trade union bit makes it seem sincere, but the self-importance to think that lemmy is too left for China to allow is just amazing.

What is left about China? They literally murdered people for demanding the right to establish trade unions (see Tienamin Square)

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

see Tienamin Square

I'm looking it up, and I don't see any "Tienanmin Square". Could it be "Tiananmen Square" that you're thinking of? The one protesting government corruption? Where unarmed soldiers were burned alive? Where Christian sickos were trying to get students in the line of fire to create atrocity propaganda? Surely there must be some confusion here!

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yes, one of their demands was the right to establish trade unions.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Were the trade unionists the ones immolating unarmed soldiers and stringing up their corpses?

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 19 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Seriously if that shit happened in the US, the national guard would call in an A-10 gun run on the crowd

You mean like that time white landowners firebombed Tulsa in response to Black Wall Street's creation and thriving? Or how about the time a PD in Philadelphia did the same thing to the MOVE Black liberation group some sixty or so years later? This shit keeps happening and the settlers think they have any room or moral high ground to talk shit 💀💀💀💀💀

The US is a plutocracy. What's your point?

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 12 points 7 months ago

What type of society do you think would allow you to burn other people to death and string up their corpses? Is it one that you think would be an improvement over modern China?

[–] axont@hexbear.net 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (5 children)

point is focus your criticisms on your own society that's 1000x worse than even the most exaggerated crimes about China, cracker. Chinese people aren't children and they can handle their own country in their own way, they don't need some forum poster condescending to them and you don't need a warped preoccupation with a country that probably has nothing to do with you

To be fair, .ml bans you pretty quickly for discussing anything outside of a pretty narrow stripe of Marxist Leninist orthodoxy as well.

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 20 points 7 months ago (13 children)

I don't consider myself a Marxist, Leninist, or communist of any stripe and haven't had a problem so far. I'm far enough left that I refuse to call myself a liberal, but I suspect the folks who consider themselves Marxists probably think I'm too far right to self-identify as a leftist. (Although I do.)

Shitload of downvotes a time or two, but that's about it. I just wanted to be on a Lemmy instance that was honoring the fedipact, and preferred it to have an instance ethos to the left of mine rather than to the right of it.

I like it here.

This is just a meme everyone repeats until they believe it.

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 3 points 7 months ago

I don't think that's a fair criticizm. After all my dumb ass hasn't been banned (so far).
