Chomsky famously hated Marxists and never bothered to study Marxism enough to understand what dialectical materialism means. For a scholar who made a career of shitting on socialism in real life, this alone should tell you how unserious he is.

The official story is that it’s accidental, that’s what I know, though the devs are MLs and lots of MLs like me use Lemmy.ml.

Mainly becauae Lemmy.ml users are tired of Lemmy.ml complaints, I would guess.

To be fair, Lemmy.ml is the dev instance, and Lemmy was made very specifically to not have the problems Reddit has.

Longer answer: Lemmy was originally founded by a bunch of Marxist-Leninists and socialists of similar stripes (that’s what the .ml stands for)

Technically .ml stands for Mali, and was chosen because the domain is cheap. Ended up being a bit of a funny coincedence.

Nah

If you want to get into political activism, I made a basic Marxist-Leninist study guide, might be fulfilling to try to contribute to a better world. This helps with the human connection bit, and also is compatible with having a full-time job in whatever you decide.

Everything is related to politics, I don’t believe it’s possible to truly be “non-political.” When someone requests something unrelated to politics, they generally just mean that they don’t want to be held accountable for their views or called out for them.

How do you define “directly relating to politics?” The fact that marginalized people don’t have the support they need is political. Homelessness, drug addiction, all of these are political problems that stem from political economy.

Those are all political though.

I don’t think that was particularly negative, to be honest, nor was it sarcastic at all.

Not really sure what you’re expecting to get from a predominantly communist website, right-wingers in general aren’t well-liked.

Those are all work and political, though.

I don’t think conservatives can build genuine camaraderie, that’s the left’s thing historically.

Look up Assata Shakur, and read Assata: An Autobiography.

I live on Earth, too. The US Empire is dying, western Europe is facing a crisis because of the decline in imperialist super-profits, while the global south is escaping underdevelopment and socialist countries like the PRC are rising rapidly. With the downfall of imperialism, there will be a surge in further movements towards socialism.

It’s certainly a controversial take on communist-friendly instances.

The communists are learning new languages, the horror!

Imperialist. It’s international, but is an alliance of imperialist states that plunder internationally. Internationalism in a progressive manner requires undermining imperialism.

Can you answer why you’re insistent on analyzing processes outside of the context they exist in? That’s all this comment does as well. If you’re not going to respond to my criticisms of your metaphysical outlook, then defend it, otherwise all I can do is continue to point out that you keep trying to slice away context and view processes in a vacuum that doesn’t exist and doesn’t represent reality accurately as a consequence.
