First comment removed from asklemmy thread about who’s good/bad re Israel/Palestine is apparently too nuanced and anti-extremist for snowflake dessalines. Ya gotta fuel the hate and extremism if ya wanna comment round tankie parts…
The linux ban was regarding a comment (pretty sure the OG comment was different) about Russian maintainers being removed from the linux project. Obviously you can’t call out capitalist Putin’s authoritarian dictatorship in the communist sub, because ML mods are pro-authoritarian and pro-dictatorship; not anti-capitalist… At this point I’m convinced most “tankies” are just PsyOps operatives.
Again the definition of Communism is just “public ownership of the means of production”. Anything else added onto the term is just your perception. It actually doesn’t even need any sort of revolution at all.
While things like the “communism manifesto”, commonly referred to as Marxism or Marxist Communism, specifically mention other forms of government and establishment as an enemy to communism, the definition of communism doesn’t change. Same with anti-state communism such as anarcho-communism.
There is just no true scottsman in this case. It has never been done and in some specific examples never will be. If anything, technically, public schools and roads is communism, though. As was the Space Race.
