With the ICE shootings happening in the US (including the tragic death of a lady in Minneapolis named Renee), do you think we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes now more than ever (and fast)?

I got banned from posting on Lemmy.ml, so I post this to the Beehaw Socialism community.

Aaaaaaand I just got banned from NOT one, NOT two, NOT three, but four Lemmy.ml communities. Is this a sign I have to start studying and reading up on theory?

Also, I know some Lemmy.ml mods is gonna say that "you wouldn't get banned from these communities had you read your theory!" like they're teachers demanding students to eat their meat before they can have their pudding (because how can you have your pudding when you don't eat your meat?)

Now I support the idea of socialism (I'm more of a market socialist), and I'm NOT against the idea of actually existing socialist countries (ie: China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos and the DPRK). That said, I think Lemmy.ml should be more open to different forms of socialism, as well as the Marxist Leninists who DOESN'T have to support Stalin (and his bureaucratic and polarizing practices while General Secretary of the CPSU) to support ML.

I am very bummed that I CAN'T respond in these communities - that said, I can subscribe to different versions of these communities that happened to be in different Lemmy instances (other than Lemmy.ml):

Socialism:

Lemmy support:

Someone should make another Lemmy support community here in this instance

I can't help but notice that some progressive-leaning channels (like David Pakman, Brian Tyler Cohen and MeidasTouch) have titles like "Trump gets DEVASTATING NEWS that he DREADS", something like that. That made me think of something:

All both parties do is grift - the Republicans grift by having progressive YouTubers say extreme hardline conservative stuff just to get views and money while the Democrats give their videos clickbaity titles just to get views and money as well as give dark money to these YouTubers.

We need a vanguard Socialist Party that DOESN'T grift, but it's gonna require a populist platform that focuses on class consciousness..

That song is pretty good

In a socialist system of government where the Communist Party acts as the main social institution (the Big Cheese of the country, if you will), would there be other like-minded socialist parties who would either work cooperatively on a common cause in a "vanguard coalition" (like China or the DPRK) or would they compete a lot like a bourgeois liberal system?

1. With Venezuelan President Maduro deposed, what do you think the people in Venezuela would do in response to the US (under Trump)' involvement in his deposition?
2. Would Acting President of Venezuela Delcy Rodriguez (who served as Maduro's Vice President) pick up where Maduro left off?
3. How do you stay hopeful and optimistic despite the current (as of this post) administration?
4. To any Venezuelans reading this: what can you do to fight the US deposing Maduro?
5. Also, would Venezuela be better off if it were decentralizd?
6. Would Venezuela impose sanctions on the US in response and such?

Just recently, I got banned from Lemmy.ml because they thought I was "trolling" using an LLM. Let me clarify to any Lemmy.ml mods reading this that I'm not using an LLM for my comments. I am a human being who actually has autism which is why I type like this.

Sometimes I post so much so fast that I get a "too many requests" error before I get to post the next comment - in these cases, that's my cue to cool down for a bit, and then post my comments from my "queue" (I leave the comments unposted until I post them) after a certain period of time.

I just submitted a message like this on the Lemmy Matrix chat (through Cinny - pretty good software) as my ban appeal- I then got a reply saying "mods DON'T hang out here - just message them from the sidebar" which I will do after posting this.
