- Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
- When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.

The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

I don't know if you're talking about me, but if so i am not western, and hating on MLism isn't anti-left lmao.
Hating on a major branch of leftist thought isn't technically anti-all left, but it's still left punching. Trying to say Marxism-Leninism isn't left is just purity testing nonsense.
I dunno, if you consider yourself a leftist I think you'd be doing a much better service attacking right-wingers, especially now that there's a huge rise of literal Nazis in Western countries, than attacking branches of leftism you personally disagree with. It's entirely understandable why people would question your motives if you decide to dedicate a good portion of your personal time to anti-communism.
Politics doesn't exist on a one-dimensional scale you know. These extremely authoritarian branches of leftism are to me just as detestable as right-wing authoritarianists (though clearly one is more of a present threat). But I dislike being associated with those people because they believe they somehow must be similar in ideology to me.
Totally going to defeat that 400 year dictatorship of capital which has only previously made concessions to workers when there was a tangible alternative system presenting some threat to theirs with an election. Keep it up. Believe in you. <3
Yes, Marxism-Leninism is surely the only alternative out there. I guess all those concessions to social democrats, greens etc... never happened. 🙄
Those concessions to social democrats were made when the USSR was presenting an alternative, workers were presenting an alternative (dragging the boss out and beating him to death infront of his family), or both.
People forget FDR was a Roosevelt, old money. His predecessor had just sent the tanks in to raze an encampment of insurrectionist soldiers within sight of the capitol building. FDR didn't give concessions because he secretly thought his class deserved less and the workers deserved more, but as a means to protect capitalism (and his privilege under capitalism), and nearly got coup'd for doing that.
When the bourgeoisie don't have a reason to fear the guillotine, they stop buying guillotine insurance and your social democracy gets hollowed out by neoliberalism.
Marxism-Leninism is literally the study of how to overthrow capitalism. So you can go ahead and try the Paris Commune again for the dozenth time but yes. It is the alternative to capitalism.
If you want to overthrow capitalism you're going to be a ML or you're going to try to start over from 0 for entirely stupid reasons.
