A good point or two in there, but totally drowned out by bitterness and projection. “Hey big city libruls! Don’t reduce people to stereotypes!” I mean facking LOL.
I also like the part about “hey city people! no one else likes you” when 80%, and rising, of Americans live in cities.
we should all just go commit fully automated luxury gay space communism
or, failing that, we should at least aim for mostly automated anarcho-communism
It sounds like you’ve been the victim of the misinformation campaign designed to make it seem like everyone who isn’t you is your enemy and that all people who hold certain beliefs are a certain way, when the reality is far from this
The word “libertarian” here refers to anarcho-communism-adjacent movements, not neoliberal shills as strictly American political lingo may have you believe. It were the anarchists who first introduced the term “libertarian”, and it were the neoliberals who appropriated it beyond recognition.
Why is lemmy turning into MLs vs liberals? From my perspective their both questionable groups. Furthermore I don’t think it’s actually helpful or constructive outside of political communities to discuss this kind of thing. Not everyone actually has a side in politics to begin with.
Not everyone left of centre is a ML.
I never said that they were. It primarily seems to be MLs attacking liberals and everyone attacking MLs.
Liberals are not left wing.
Depends when and in which country you’re talking about. In America at current they are an odd party that don’t seem to stand for much, in the past they have been more left wing. In other countries I am not really sure as liberal isn’t a well defined term like neoliberal or libertarian is. You could take it to mean socially liberal in which case it could be a left or right wing position much like a libertarian could be.
You’re perhaps not wrong about the choice of community, especially after the hexbear fiasco. OP isn’t an ML though, they’re an anarchist.
Marxist-Leninist. A subset of communists that generally follow Lenin, Stalin and sometimes others.
