To hear centrists tell it, no one to their left actually exists; they’re all scary foreign psyops here to make neoliberals look bad on a small fledgling platform.
I can’t believe I ever heard that Lemmy was “too Communist”. Every sub I’ve seen is crawling with liberals who shout down any leftist thought with epithets like “tankie” and “bot”.
(Imperialist liberals. I was just permanently banned from /c/historyporn for trying to correct some Islamophobic misinformation in a neutral factual way. The mod said it was “sexist apologia”.)
Interesting, I think this is the largest politics community and the behavior you describe is against the rules and actively enforced against. Where are you seeing it?
No more bleak than the fake commies on Lemmy.
They’re deeply annoying, but what do they have to do with this?
They take part in spreading Russian and Chinese disinformation…

That is a recent development.
Yeah, those are hilarious. They supposedly are communists but then support Russia or China.
What does this have to do with Harris and the US media?
✨ just whataboutism things ✨
LOL if those are fake communists, then there aren’t any real ones.
Sure there are. But, they don’t blindly promote countries that aren’t communist—like China.
You’re strange. It’s literally called the Chinese Communist Party.
So North Korea is a democracy?
Technically yes but you know better.
Can’t be communist and have market influence and a huge class divide.
Chinese Failed Communist Party.
Every communist country has done this. Your argument is that there has never been communism.
Right. It’s not communism. Thank you.
Go over to Lemmy.ml and try that one out.
Go to a conservative community and talk shit about Trump. It’s the same reaction.
