So far every website owner I’ve had issues with has been a billionaire capitalist, I’ll give the communists a shot.
If your point is that they’re pro-CCP, you’ll probably get your point across better by calling them “tankies” than “communists.” I identify as a communist, but I’d be first in line to say “fuck tankies.”
Stalin and Mao were good actually, the CCP has never done a bad thing ever, and Russia should roll over Europe with their invincible tanks, because the west is bad, therefore anyone who disagrees with the west is flawless.
That may be an uncharitable exaggeration, but surprisingly not by very much.
Originally, a “tankie” was a Stalin apologist, but in more modern times, it’s come to mean just authoritarian communist. I don’t think it’s a self-applied term. More a derisive term used by anti-authoritarian leftists.
The anti-authoritarian communists tend to call themsleves anarchists, anarcho-communists, anarcho-syndicalists, left libertarians, etc. And they’d strongly tend not to have anything good to say about Stalin, Mao, or the CCP.
(There are right-wingers who call themselves “anarchists” or “anarcho-capitalists” or “voluntarists” or “minarchists” or “Libertarians” (note the capital “L”) or whatever, but they have pretty much nothing to do with the hard-left-wing anarchist movement that they appropriated the terms “anarchist” and “libertarian” from.)
I’ve lived in a communist country before. It’s not really an issue for me.
Do you believe in “removing” people who are “unfit for society” or the execution of enemy’s of the state (ei journalists)
Communism is not eugenics. I also would love to see who specifically you are saying was executed. Just calling someone a journalist doesn’t automatically mean they are good people who do good things. Be specific if you’re going to make an argument.
True but they execute anyone who dares to say anything other than the official media
This seems to be a particularly American concern, presumably dating back to the McCarthy era. Tye real question is: are they Tankies?
Also water is wet. The devs’ political views are not important to me, the software they make is more important. “Separate the art from the artist.”
True they start telling you how China is doing wonders for its people.
I disagree politicly with many people on reddit. I don’t care if you disagree but it does bother me when they are following a dead idolology.
I also don’t like lemmy.ml being as big as it is. We need to seperate the power of development from the power of administration
Also the devs expressed support for people creating more mainstream liberal instances. That’s the reason why there are recommended instances at Join-Lemmy.
