      Lemmy.ml was started by tankies. It’s more pro-China (aka state capitalism/corporatism) than it is Marxist though.

        @SeaJ @TheBlue22, although there are participants from the extreme left on Lemmy.ml, it is a good site. I prefer, like anyone oriented to the left of the political spectrum with a social ethic, this field than one oriented to the extreme right and fascist, of the social networks that we all already know. You can argue with those on the left, with the fascists it’s not possible, in any case, if you don’t like it, just ignore or block the corresponding instance.

            @BraBraBra, neither China nor any other country today is what should be praised as a political ideal. China is certainly a totalitarian regime, but in comparison it is no worse than the US, Russia or others where the greed and lust for personal power of an elite prevail over the common good.
            Political ideology is one thing and quite another to find where it is applied and not just nominal for the public.

              Obviously China is worse. The West isn’t perfect, but China is about as bad as a country can be.

              The US is far from perfect, but we are not currently committing a genocide against our citizens. We have a terrible for-profit justice system, but it’s not a genocide.

              And, I can’t believe it needs to be said, but a country commiting a genocide is worse that a country that’s not.

                True, but let’s be real here: it’s only true, because you started the genocide much earlier and at this point in time are basically done, besides when some holy site or other is in the way of building an environment destroying pipeline and necessitates a belated mop up operation on a scale small enough to be largely overlooked, especially by corporate media who couldn’t give a fuck about any genocide that can’t be used to further a profitable agenda anyway.

    Are they too dumb to uncheck the “show NSFW” button in settings? It was the same in Reddit idk. Can’t do much about Communism, but at least the Lenin porn is blocked.

        … in Warsaw.

        For people who didn’t watch way too many Zizek talks: Zizek used this joke to illustrate a point. As it goes, I completely forgot the point, but memorized the joke. Probably because I’m a pervert. Here goes: In an exhibition in Moscow, there’s a painting with the title “Lenin in Warsaw” depicting a woman who looks suspiciously like Nadezhda Krupskaya, Lenin’s wife, screwing what appears to be a student. A confused visitor asks the guide standing beneath the painting: “But where’s Lenin?” The guide, of course, answers: “Lenin is in Warsaw.”

    It’s one thing to be a communist; it’s another to be an apologist for the CCP.

      Fuck China, and fuck the United States I live in. The nations of the Nordic region and a few other developed nations have my respect because they respect and value their citizenry. Their economy is a tool that is used to facilitate the distribution of goods and services for the benefit of their society and its citizens, what an economy is supposed to be, instead of doing it ass backwards as we do, hurting citizens to protect the beloved fucking economy and the growth/metastasis expectations of the owner class.

      China/The US/Russia are the world leaders in exporting the notion that their citizens should be exploited to stoke the growth of the economy for the benefit of their respective elites. Whoever wins, their people lose.

      Why should I go rah rah America when most stakeholders in our society are not meaningful institutional shareholders in the value society produces?

      https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/18/the-wealthiest-10percent-of-americans-own-a-record-89percent-of-all-us-stocks.html

      It shouldn’t be about saying simon says or coming out of a rich vagina or if not making perfect economic decisions and kissing ass from age 18, begging to be included and killing yourself for masters who were born into wealth for a small chance of being included in the prosperity of the prosperous nation you’re supposedly a member of.

      And don’t you just love the class traitors here that come out to celebrate the failures of citizens who tried? oh you took out student loans in a subject that in hindsight didn’t pay dividends, haha loser. Oh you just started working and didnt get an education and are stuck in the underclass, haha loser. That’s what it means to be an American, rooting against one another as the owner class laughs.

        To me, the definition of a 3rd world country is about how the poor are living there.

        You can live a nice life in literally any country, if you have enough money. But how do those live, who don’t have anything? That’s what differentiates between a decent country and a 3rd world country.
