Which community is this? Are communities allowed sovereign control over their content or does this fall onto the shoulders of the devs since it is in the primary Lemmy instance?

Interesting…I wonder how the devs will respond to this situation when it unfolds

“There is no flagship instance. The developers actively push sopuli.xyz and beehaw.org instead of lemmy.ml for multiple reasons.”

Lib is salty 😝

For comrades already here, I wasn’t sure how to go about this sort of welcome post as I’m not entirely sure what to expect/who will be incoming, so I tried to cast a wide net.

“So what is Marxism? Do I fit in here?”

It is ok if you are not a 10th degree grand master of Marxonomics, all you have to have to be welcome here is respect for the community and a willingness to learn. We will teach you.

Marxism is highly complex however the basic concept of it is:

Capitalism is fundamentally flawed, isn’t reformable, and requires a working class revolution to solve the constant revolving crisis’ of capitalism.

If you agree with the above statement you belong here.

Marxism takes a scientific and pragmatic approach towards solving this issue (organize, educate, agitate) as opposed to an idealistic one (we’ll just do a revolution and everything will be fixed!).

Welcome all new leftists! As per always, it is best to study works of our most successful comrades (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao) and their works can be found at Marxists.org for free.

well…yes

Thanks

CIA: “Get in the -white- blacked out van, we have -candy- drugs”

DEA: “Where the cartels go to learn how to smuggle drugs!”

NED: “We love freedom and democracy” (snorts things which legitimize the concept of freedom in their minds, shoots democracy in the face)

Speaking of snorting things which create grandiose delusions…

Zelensky: “The victory is coming…just like the dragons in Game of Thrones, the victory is on it’s way…but I just need more money…for weapons…white powdery weapons of mass delusion…I mean destruction!”

CPUSA: “We’re definitely not reactionary opportunists in bed with the democrats…btw don’t forget to vote for the democrats!”

NATO: “We’re a “defensive organization”…if you obliterate the entire definition of defense and replace it with a picture of a monkey scratching his ballsack”

DPP: “WE ARE REAL CHINA!!..HEY! WHY IS NO ONE LOOKING AT ME?! …WHAT?! FUCK UKRAINE, LOOK AT ME!!! I AM ALL OF CHINA!!!”

Democrats: “Have you heard about this thing that sucks? Let me tell you how I’m not going to do anything about it. Actually, I’ll stop you if you try to do anything about it too…also fuck the republicans, they’re everyone bad from us to Putin to Satan except for when we’re talking about Putin then he is still Putin but also a republican/every republican and sometimes also the left who we try to make our base but could really give a shit less about because they aren’t bourgeois and those are the only people we even care to try and persuade with any real material concession…we just lie to the prols, then smack them on the noses like a bunch of stupid animals. Big dumb and stupi…wait is this thing still on?..Shit! Um…um…RUSSIA DID IT!!! Russia did it and I will gaslight the ever-living fuck out of you until you either believe it or there’s so much bullshit going on in the social strata that no one can organize an actual response to my bullshit. Yay, tyranny! Er- I mean dEmOcRaCy!!1!”

Republicans: “…What the democrats said/did but also fuck minorities. Guns and Jesus and stuff…”

Elon/Trump: “Let me show you why you can trust me” (sells a pile of bullshit then proceeds to fuck everyone over)

Gates: “This is why I’m NOT a weird anti-social sociopath” (proceeds to be a weird sociopath but in a social manner) “Welcome to my humble abode…whoops, mind the landmines! Have a seat on my couch made from refugee skins, you might feel a pinch, that’s just Cortana taking a DNA sample”

accurate

“If it weren’t for capitalism you wouldn’t have adderall to take!” 1 long ass word for you, liberal; Methylphenylpiracetam, a spin-off of the Soviet-made Piracetam medication which was used for a litany of aliments and for various effects that today we compare to ADHD and it’s treatment, as well as depression, anxiety, and dementia (it is a cognitive enhancer). It can also counteract Scopolomine poisoning, for those who live in South America I understand this is a problem down there.

Regardless though, I suspect this is once again the “never capitalism v capitalism and then socialism” confusion and not an argument of which system can create what.

And lastly, capitalism giveth, capitalism taketh away. Yes amphetamines were created under capitalism (specifically social democracy in Wiemar Germany IIRC), but it’s due to the failures and crisis of capitalism today as to why these medicines are not available. Social planning would ensure enough adderall for all without allowing the market or it’s beneficiaries to seep and leech resources away from human necessity.

It really shows us who people are and how long they’ve been invested in these ideas

Isn’t it interesting the comrade made a social democratic argument (in the benefit of anti-imperialism) and was called a MAGA supporter 🤔

Has anyone else listened to MAGA in the last year or so and thought that a parrot was in the room? Attempts at poisoning of the well is my suspicion. They have always taken orders well no matter how nonsensical they sound, it’s never stopped them before.
