  • Well I think that nazi germany was worse, but I think that comparing Stalin USSR and Hitler Germany and saying that one is worse than the other is like comparing dog shit and earwax to what is the better food. I’d probably choose earwax over dog shit, but it doesn’t say much about either. If someone says “I don’t care if it’s dog shit or earwax, I’d still eat” and someone else comes in and says “I think earwax is a lot better” i think it’s kinda absurd and doesn’t really change a lot about the original statement.

    So back to the original point of the lemmy creators were nazis instead, it would not change anything about if we should fork it or not. There are a lot of crazy open source devs with crazy political ideas that create amazing products and the product is not the same as the creator :)

    And also I’m not super well versed I this, so if you think I’m wrong please explain to me why you think that. These are my opinions, but I’m not a scholar or anything


  • Well I think I worded that poorly, a communist is a pretty large term referring to a lot of different ideas, so you can’t really say what a communist believes exactly. A tankie is a subsection of communists who want an authoritarian state that holds all power and are supportive or regimes like the USSR and Mao Zedong China (which imho were horrible regimes that has destroyed a lot of lives). Now I don’t care about tankies and I don’t care about the ideology so I know very little of it (so I might be far of reality here), but I don’t think nazis and tankies are so far off in “horribleness”
