PTB.

Its probably too far to say “full throated support for genocide”,

The USA is not only supporting the genocide with money and arms; they (and the UK) have also been bombing the only state (Yemen) that has tried to fulfill the international principle of Responsabilty to Protect (R2P) and has deployed their naval army to prevent others states to do it and/or to help with the genocide.

For me, that’s enough to speak of an Israel-USA-UK genocide.

And sorry to go off-topic. 🤷🏽

Edit: added wiki link snd typos

Sorry, but who should prove that there is a ongoing genocide is who do that claim, requiring to prove the no existence of something is a fallacious argument.

I strongly disagree.

But, by example, if l (a .ml and lemmyngrad user) go to a Ukrainian instance with a pro-western narrative to tell that they are backing and are backed by fascism, as other hundreds others had done before, I would deserve a ban.

YDI.

The .ml policy against bigotry --including parroting western anti-chinese propaganda, that liberals throw ad nauseam there-- has been a consistent policy over time of that instance.

This is a very reductionist comparition: communism is not only Marxism-Leninism, and socialism is not (modern) social-democracy.

The Encyclopedia Britannica do a better (but incomplet) work:

Exactly how communism differs from socialism has long been a matter of debate. Karl Marx used the terms interchangeably. For many, however, the difference can be seen in the two phases of communism as outlined by Marx. The first is a transitional system in which the working class controls the government and economy yet still pays people according to how long, hard, or well they work. Capitalism and private property exist, though to a limited degree. This phase is widely regarded as socialism. However, in Marx’s fully realized communism, society has no class divisions or government or personal property. The production and distribution of goods is based upon the principle “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”

Or the wikipedia definitions:

Socialism is an economic and political philosophy encompassing diverse economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production, as opposed to private ownership.

Communism is a sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement, whose goal is the creation of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered around common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products to everyone in society based on need.

Sorry, but communism is alive. Our struggle for a better society is here, as it has been for more than a century.

[European-centric answer]

My approach is to try to understand the people based on their historical context and accept the existence of contradictions in the way they see the world. I’m not an anarchist, but Proudhon was essential to the development of the anarchism (i.e., the social and anti-capitalist libertarian ideology and philosophy) and very influential in the socialist development (together with Marx, Blanqui…) and to construct the ideological frameworks of socialism from the previous utopian socialists.

You Deserve It and Bait Provoked Reaction.

They are explained in the community sidebar:

Some acronyms you might see.

• PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.

• YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.

• BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.

• CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn’t understand how their software works.

I have had the same cringe reaction to your original message that have got @poVoq@slrpnk.net. There you speak about genetics, no ethnicity.

🤷🏼‍♂️

Thanks for reporting it. It’s now updated.

May be, but “…what the fuck is wrong with tankies” clearly is not being civil in a socialist space (also rule 6).

Call somebody tankie is against the comunity rules:

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or ‘wasted votes on 3rd party’ is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, ‘paid by Putin,’ Tankie, etc.

Here is the original tittle :-)

On this day in 1966, undercover L.A. cops raided the Black Cat Tavern when celebrating queer patrons kissed each other at midnight. 2 of the arrested were forced to register as sex offenders; SCOTUS declined to hear their case on appeal.

Oops. I cannot review it now, I will check it tomorrow.

The tittle is extracted from the database of the apeoplecalendar web. It’s a twitter oriented short text that must be shortened to use it as a lemmy tittle.

Culture and language have been used for the oppression of national minorities and to settle colonial and imperialist projects. The English, as a lingua franca, is most related to those concepts that with socialist internatioalism. That’s not the case with Esperanto.

No, they went on strike to challenge GM. And to change, to some extent, the relationship between owners and workers, and it was a great victory.

In the documentary With Babies and Banners: Story of the Women’s Emergency Brigade (directed by Lorraine Gray, 1979, YouTube, archive.org), they stated it was not for money. Also, from Wikipedia:

The agreement that GM consented to was to rehire workers that were a part of the strike, allow workers to wear buttons and other symbols that represented unions, and granted 6 months of negotiations in the plants that participated in a strike to UAW-CIO. As short as this agreement was, it gave the UAW instant legitimacy. The workers there also got a 5% increase in pay and were allowed to talk about the union during lunch. The UAW capitalized on that opportunity, signing up 100,000 GM employees and building the union’s strength through grievance strikes at GM plants throughout the country. Several participants in the strike, including Charles I. Krause, went on to greater prominence within the union. Other notable participants in the sit-down strike were future D-Day hero and Greco-Roman wrestling champion Dean Rockwell, labor leader and future UAW president Walter Reuther, and the uncle of documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, whose debut feature Roger & Me contains a clip from the strike.

In the next year, UAW membership grew from 30,000 to 500,000 members. Employees of other car manufacturers such as Ford joined, as the entire industry was rapidly unionized. As later noted by the BBC, “the strike was heard 'round the world”.

The Sit-Down Strike projected a principle weapon of mass organization in the labor industry projecting nearly 5000 strikes to come within the next year. Giving labor workers newfound unionization regardless of race, education status creating opportunities for membership agreements, payroll negotiation, and even government protection for workers. The Sit-Down Strike provoked a newfound impact in the labor industry, giving the workers a newfound confidence to join unions and use their voice.
