Random thought. I know Lemmy is full of communists, but jeez whenever I post or comment anything, with respect and arguments, not even politics related, there is always some communist (always from US) down-voting and such

Like really, calm down LOL

    Ancom from hexbear, and, well, they kinda are always attacked. Anarchists are too. There’s a hundred-plus years of capitalist propaganda against any form of leftism, and damn near anyone on lemmy grew up completely fucking soaked in it. How could anybody who isn’t a classical liberal or actual fascist not feel attacked all the time when we are all attacked all the time.

    The fediverse has a lot of communists around, a heaping handful of anarchists, and an absolutely endless hoard of unapologetic and often inarticulate liberals and actual fascists. Obviously, anarchists and communists have a ton of doctrinal differences about how a hypothetical society should be run, and on the value of individual vs organized action, but fuck am I tired of fucking capitalism and imperialism. It’s more fun and more productive to join hands and take the piss out of all these fucking fascists together.

      Also, the Fediverse is 100% a place to NOT calm down about stuff. It’s one of the few english-language spaces left on the internet where any political views outside of the NATO party line can be discussed with sincerity.

        Wrapping up with some communist theory straight from the manifesto (sorry, not trying to indoctrinate, just trying to explain):

        The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.
