I know Hexbear skews very, very liberal. I haven’t spent much time in other lemmy places.
I hadn’t experienced hexbear (literally) shitting up the place yet, has a way to block entire instances been implemented or do I gotta find a new one that isn’t federated with them?
The statement in the image is just loaded with terminology that comes with a lot of baggae. It’s no surprise people tear into it. Can’t speak to whether that makes them leftist or just poly sci students.
“Uncorrupt” misunderstands the nature of corruption. How do you envision resolving the interests of the forces that give validity to said government while still keeping a capitalist structure?
“Generate wealth” presupposes a specific kind of wealth created by the government and given validity by the capitalist structure. You win at the rules of the game you made up. “Middle class” has a similar problem. “Prosperity” to a nation starving under the global capitalist regime might look quite different. Why use one benchmark over the other? Because of the game you want to choose.
Meme aside, addressing the title, no shit Sherlock,
Lemmy was created by a Marxist Leninist, nicknamed “Dessalines”, after a revolutionary Haitian leader who even went so far as to slaughter the remaining French colonists, to destroy any remnants of colonialism

“Uncorrupt government”
This is as delusional as anyone can get.
A wise man said it all once: “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
The problem with that view is that it is idealistic in nature - government, by its very nature, will always become corrupt.
Left are the goodies
Right are the baddies.
Simples.
Quick, genuine question because I don’t know: What does the “ml” in [email protected] stand for? I thought it was for Marxist-Leninist but I’m actually not sure about that
I believe you are probably right. the problem is that capitalists only focus is profit. so if their profit is limited by this hypothetical non-corrupt government they will try their absolute best to make sure they get their way in the government, and since they have a lot of money they also have the power to do that.
also the ideology of endless growth for the sake of growth (how capitalism works) is literally impossible on a planet with limited recourses
This is the only place i see where auth left is represented and i love it
Who could ever want anything else?
This meme is based on an impossible assumption, maybe that’s the joke. But I ain’t certain.
Just a tinsy tiny one.
But look, I will happily state my true opinions on here. Let them downvote me. My skin isn’t paper thin.
Keep in mind, you are posting this to lemmy.ml, so I don’t know what you expected… Maybe something like this would be better recieved on lemmy.world or on your account’s instance.
That’s why I am here tbh
