I remember when I joined here that tchncs did not federate with Lemmygrad. Is there a reason why it is now? I don’t think it’s a good instance, since it full of (roleplaying) communists hating on the western world… and I wouldn’t want that shit in my “All” feed. Thank you.
Marxist Leninist/Stalinist viewpoints are violent by default. It’s completely part of their theory that violent revolution is required to overthrow the status quo to implement the Vanguard State (more violence, though through the guise of conformity) and without that there is no ability to transition to communist society.
All ideologies are violent by default. It’s just whether that violence is intended to enforce the current order and property claims or used to overthrow that order.
Most ideologies don’t literally advocate for violence as part of reaching it’s goals. While people who enact those ideologies might use violence to enforce them it’s not a core tenet like how it is for ML.
