    It hasn’t really been my experience here. Yeah there is some.

    Have you tried being less aimless at what you subscribe here? Do you come here because you want to connect with information, or just mindlessly doom scroll and consume?

    If you’re not intentional about your social media tools, you will have a bad time.

      Lemmy.world is defederated from the major Marxist instances, so that filters out a lot of discussion about Socialism.

          Because they didn’t, you defended an IDF soldier that was “bored of her office job and went on raids for fun,” and that’s yet another time you’ve misgendered them after it has been pointed out repeatedly. You also DM harassed them, and made multiple posts about it on multiple instances. Get over it and touch grass.

            I never defended an IDF soldier, I was being compassionate towards an Israeli who was conscripted at 18 like 20 years ago and didnt want to hurt anyone and worked as a secretary, and who seems traumatized by the experience, and who is very outspoken about the Israeli genocide…

            Then a commie called for my death because I’m American here: https://lemmy.ml/post/20866301/14006932

            Then you saw this message and came out to defend the terrorist!

            If you have to lie make up quotes to defend your position, it might not be too strong

              Again, this is after you defended an IDF soldier who went on raids because she was bored of her office job, then DM harassed them (and myself). Touch grass, you’ve been malding for 4 days and spread this nonsense everywhere you go as a personal vendetta over an online argument.

              oops, I accidentally deleted my previous comment, but here is basically what it said:

              I never defended and IDF soldier, I was being compassionate towards an Israeli who was conscripted at 18 like 20 years ago and didnt want to hurt anyone and worked as a secretary, and who seems traumatized by the experience, and who is very outspoken about the Israeli genocide…

              https://lemmy.ml/post/20866301/14006932

              Then you saw this message, and decided to defend the terrorist:

              And that quote you have is a complete fabrication! If you have to resort to making up quotes then your position must not be too strong.

    If it was regular ol’ socialism around here, that’s one thing, but quite a bit of lemmy is straight Marxism. Don’t let them blur the lines, please.

    Yay socialism!

    Boo Marxism!

        They aren’t always defederated. Most users can still use conservative@lemm.ee, but most don’t bother because absolutely nothing ever gets through to the conservative users of that community no matter what sources or evidence to support arguments are used. It’s like talking to a brick wall. Some of the users like MomoTimetoDie are outright hostile.

      Half socialism, half complaining about capitalism, half linux, and half startrek memes.

      Although, now that I think about it, the linux and startrek halves are often just a part of the socialism half.

      So, I guess the original point stands. Socialism all the way down.

      I mean, Linux (and the entire ecosystem) is a fundamentally socialist concept.

        I would say GNU is one that’s openly socialist. If Linux’s (or rather, Linus Torvald’s) philosophy is socialist, they either do a very good job of hiding the fact or there is a lot I don’t know about them.

          Unpopular opinion: “Open Source”, spawned from Netscape spinning off Mozilla, laid out in definition by the OSI organization, and advocated for by AnCaps like Eric S. Raymond, was always fundamentally capitalist. Devs spending a lot of free time doing free work for companies was not an accident. Capitalists borrowing ideas from the left and twisting them for their own uses is not new, either.

          Free Software is more rooted in communism. You’re doing this to help your community. RMS might have always denied it–probably because it wasn’t a good idea to advocate that way during the Cold War and after–but it’s a better philosophical fit.

          It’s past time to divorce the two.

            Yes, and was a member of the EU parliament until recently. Both his parents were pretty radical. Linus tends to keep his politics private for the most part.

    My partner has been insinuating that I’m a communist recently. I don’t think I’m a communist, I simply want to seize the means of production for the people.

              Ask the Anarchists on Hexbear why they’re fine with Marxists.

              In my experience, Hexbear is a much less toxic instance due to the anti-sectarian rules. Someone described it as “less like a Communist Party and more like the bar Communists hang out at after the meeting,” which is both cute and accurate. It’s a nice atmosphere if you aren’t a liberal.

                Doesn’t sound like it would have a nice atmosphere for socialists or anarchists either

                Edit: Also that place allows coordinated attacks against non-tankies, and the most troubling users from blåhaj ran to that place, so I’m not super impressed.

                  Like I said, you can ask the anarchists and socialists there yourself. I’m a Marxist-Leninist, it’s a nice atmosphere, and I get along with the Anarchists there as well.

                  Edit: Also that place allows coordinated attacks against non-tankies, and the most troubling users from blåhaj ran to that place, so I’m not super impressed.

                  Mind explaining what you mean by “coordinated attacks?” And what do you mean by “troubling users from blåhaj?” People leaving one instance for Hexbear isn’t necessarily indicative of Hexbear being bad.
