Here’s the thread in question btw. The mods left up OP’s comments that had some semblance of effort.
OP claimed putler was trying to bring back the USSR or some shit here lmao. At least OP deleted it.

I don’t think most people on this thread like you very much either lol
I have not seen anyone there advocating for capitalism though?
Damn it’s nice to see the comments are surprisingly evenly split between hating on it and actually being reasonable. Quite a difference from when redditors first moved in here last year.
I guess the more people talk about it, the more people actually visit it for themselves and form their own opinions.
Lemmy.world already exists unfortunately
I do miss some of the subreddits though
Just as capitalist states are “authoritarian” against working class interests, socialist states are “authoritarian” against capitalist interests.
The state is a tool for one class to oppress another. The goal of (most) communists is to transition from capitalism — where the capitalist class is in power — to a stateless, classless communist society via socialism — where the working class is in power.
Public perception of which is more “authoritarian” therefore depends on which class is currently in power and is able to manufacture consent, and that is the capitalist class in the vast majority of the world right now since the USSR’s overthrow.
While Republicans’ strident opposition to Palestinian statehood is clearly rooted in bigotry, the Democratic leadership’s role is more like that of the “white moderate” described in Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” who professes to support the goals but not the methods, who insists on endless negotiations with oppressors who refuse to compromise, and who “believes he can set the timetable for [someone else]’s freedom.”
“The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative.”

things will go from ACCEPTABLE
Most people aren’t (social?) fascists like you though and don’t find genocide “ACCEPTABLE”
Same thing that would happen if sanctions on Afghanistan were lifted. Regular people’s lives would improve as the country could import what they need. Cuba is really lacking in cement and medical supplies for example iirc (though their medical system and education is world-class), and they can’t import them cuz of the embargo.
Obviously not much would change in the US, aside from some people realizing socialism isn’t too bad when you’re not a tiny country sanctioned and blockaded by the most war-mongering nation in the world.
Yeah hexbear, lemmygrad and lemmy.ml have been the most pro-LGBT and anti-racist lemmy instances in my experience, along with blahaj.zone
They aren’t “bad”, it’s just that most people coming from reddit are liberals and as such won’t agree with their leftist/communist takes.
Just join any general instance really. feddit.ch which you’re on is one such instance.
Ah damn, how much are they paying you
Don’t worry, it already is.
And when it’s not crashing down, it’s funding ethnic cleansing in foreign countries instead. Gotta keep the combo going.
What the fuck
Wow, the Fediverse is actually visible :0
Not supporting Israel goes against every profit incentive that the oil, military, and other megacorporations have. EU may not like to say it as openly, but they want this to continue too.
Human lives don’t matter in the face of capitalist profit after all.
This is the natural course of capitalism. Accumulation of wealth through private ownership of factories and corporations means concentration of power at the capitalist ruling class, and never-ending rise in inequality.
It rewards those who are greedy and willing to exploit others.
Wouldn’t mind tbh. There’s no shortage of great games to play, and GTA was never story driven so there’s no need to worry about spoilers.
Wild that they let some nazis survive. Hope they at least put them to good use for labor as reparations.
In the capitalist countries they were given cushy leadership positions instead lmao as you’d expect
