      What separates a Marxist from a tankie? Are Anarchists tankies?

      There are no .world communities for Communism, Socialism, or Marxism, so all of the Marxists who wish to contribute must do it on instances like Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad.ml, Hexbear.net, or dbzer0. Lemmy.world deliberately blocking their users from contributing or even seeing Hexbear or Lemmygrad, and possibly soon even Lemmy.ml, is censorship of Marxists from its own users.

      Or is there a secret commie gathering in .world I don’t know about?

          What Marxists get the pass, and which don’t?

          Return2ozma got banned on Lemmy.world for criticizing Biden.

            Non-authoritarians and authoritarians respectively. It’s not that complicated.

            There are no .world communities for Communism

            Did you seriously not even look? Or do you not understand how the fediverse works

            Return2ozma got banned on Lemmy.world for criticizing Biden.

            Doubt.

              What’s the metric to determine between authoritarian and non-authoritarian? Marx and Engels both considered themselves Authoritarian.

              1 community with 1 post? Certainly seems like a community welcoming to Marxists! Show me a Marxist community on Lemmy.world that actually has participants, lol.

              My point is that the biggest and most active communities are on instances either blocked by .world or are threatened to be.

              You can see why Return2Ozma was banned, your admin admitted to it.

              You’re goofy.

                How about “advocacy of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom”?

                Show me a Marxist community on Lemmy.world that actually has participants, lol

                Accessed via .world, moderated by a .world user. I also moderate an openly pro-communist community from .world, !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone.

                You don’t understand how Lemmy works.

                You can see why Return2Ozma was banned

                He was banned from c/politics, not from .world. The c/politics rules aren’t .world rules. He made a post from .world literally a few hours ago.

                (I don’t agree with the ban either, btw)

                  Cool, then Hexbear and Lemmygrad aren’t tankies by your definition. Go over and ask them about that. Oh wait, you can’t.

                  Communism is a lemmy.ml community, which is my point. Lemmy.world does not host any communist communities despite being the largest instance, and it seems like they may defed from .ml soon, leaving .world with nothing. I’m not sure if you are intentionally not seeing my point, or if you genuinely don’t get it.

                  196 is an Anarchist community, not a Marxist one. Supporting Marxism can get you banned there.

                  I didn’t say Ozma was banned from the entirety of .world, just that posting anti-Biden articles will catch you a ban on .world, further proving their general anti-Marxist stance.

                    To be fair I didn’t see anything all that bad when I skimmed Hexbear but clearly Lemmygrad has no shortage of CCP and Stalin apologists.

                    Either way, I don’t know why you’re whining at me about a decision I didn’t make or agree to, and has nothing to do with why I don’t approve of tankie rhetoric.

                    Communism is a lemmy.ml community … Lemmy.world does not host any communist communities

                    Which is accessible by .world users, so why would we need a new one that isn’t as active? Lemm.ee doesn’t have an ALTA community, do you think they all hate ALTA?

                    196 is an Anarchist community, not a Marxist one. Supporting Marxism can get you banned there.

                    We’re a leftist community. I’ve never seen someone get banned for supporting Marxism, and I’d invite you to post to your heart’s content but the crux of your issue seems to be that we have very different definitions of authoritarianism/tankie posting.
