Please don’t put any hate comments against the developers of lemmy or against the person who posted this.

I am also unhappy about what the main lemmy instance is doing.

What are your thoughts?

      Completly agree. Also, this is a topic that needs years of research and diplomacy as it is inherently tainted by propaganda (from all sides). It is pointless (and petty) to act as if there is a way of telling right from wrong at this stage. People need to cool their jets befor crying and accusing others of malicious intent. Personally, I am as left as it gets and that is why I like lemmy/lemmygrad. It is just refreshing to see this in the current internet!

      I must admit I don’t know the author to well, but usually when people claim this anti-authoritarian is as bad as this authoritarian in regards of ziq (the author), people refer to his anticiv position. Anticiv get usually misrepresented and miss understood. I can understand why, but that doesn’t make them as bad as the “tankie”.

      If you need a read on anticiv theory, you might enjoy reading something from Abdullah Öcalan leader of the PKK, which has Marxist-Leninist tradition.

          I recommend you to read some other articles by this author

          I did already, not my favorite author but I haven’t read anything that is comparable bad with ML

          do a web-search on him admitting to faking multiple accounts as sockpuppets

          I am aware of that. The author admitted their wrong doing, and because of his behavior stepped down as moderator, at least temporarily. I don’t know about the current status. To those he caused the most harm by his behavior, they made piece with it and remain in friendship afaik. If you need the backround story to all that, I can dick it out for you.

          However some anticiv people are really just crypto eco-fascists

          some primies are like that. I did read threads how ziq makes fun of their nonsense.

              After all they have been the dominant leftist group for a long time and thus attracted some questionable people as well…

              You mean like Lenin? It’s not “some”, it’s the majority, and it’s their leaders.

                  But today’s Marxist-Leninists are not all hardcore Lenin fanboys

                  And then most tankies when I call them tankies:

                  Please call us something-Lenin. …but sure, Lenin isn’t among their masters. I don’t buy into this.
