Yes? Acting like tankies haven’t also killed people… I had tankies stalk me on lemmy because I: was under 30, and did not have a political science degree. You’d think that’s an exaggeration but it’s not.
So you somehow convinced enough mods in a famously defensive community to become a moderator yourself, then you told them you you’re letting in right-wing viewpoints? Or did they make you a mod after you said you wouldn’t censor?
Yeah but that’s what extreme leftists suggest: universal healthcare and education, guaranteed employment and housing, good retirement benefits, good working conditions under collective ownership…
I don’t support extreme actions to enact change, I want to enact change which is met with violence, to which I respond. Look at Allende in Chile being murdered and a Democratic peaceful movement being turned into fascist dictatorship. Look at Mosaddeq in Iran. There are many such cases.
The system in which we live is already violent. Millions of people are killed needlessly every year by lack of healthcare, poor nutrition and mental health crises, even in developed countries. US economics kic sanctions have been found to kill half a million people yearly for the past 30 years, more than the worldwide deaths due to war during the same period. Ending this violence is the peaceful alternative.
Left wing extremists are much better than the right wing variety, yes?
The barrel of the gun we’re left looking down looks the same
We’re getting ever closer to world run by right-leaning authoritarians and you’re worried about getting killed by tankies?
Yes? Acting like tankies haven’t also killed people… I had tankies stalk me on lemmy because I: was under 30, and did not have a political science degree. You’d think that’s an exaggeration but it’s not.
Uh huh, and what’d you say to cause that?
Became a moderator of c/politics saying that we wouldn’t censor based on political view
So you somehow convinced enough mods in a famously defensive community to become a moderator yourself, then you told them you you’re letting in right-wing viewpoints? Or did they make you a mod after you said you wouldn’t censor?
.
That’s good of them. Why didn’t you ban and block the offenders?
Oh no, the barrel of the gun of universal healthcare!
The question was about extremists
Yeah but that’s what extreme leftists suggest: universal healthcare and education, guaranteed employment and housing, good retirement benefits, good working conditions under collective ownership…
That alone is not what makes someone an extremist, and you know that
So what would you call extremist about the extremist socialists?
Someone who supports extreme(ie violent) actions to enact change.
I don’t support extreme actions to enact change, I want to enact change which is met with violence, to which I respond. Look at Allende in Chile being murdered and a Democratic peaceful movement being turned into fascist dictatorship. Look at Mosaddeq in Iran. There are many such cases.

They’re the same picture.
You need glasses
Centrists seem to be able to differentiate when they’re deciding who to listen to.
It’s never anyone to their left.
