    I align somewhere near communism/socialism/anarchism. They are so fucking stupid though. They will argue that a political class taking all control is good for the working class. The goal of communism is to transfer control to the working class, though there is an argument to be made the methods of getting there require some form of government control first. They don’t care that things in China are being consolidated still. They’re authoritarian first, not communist.

      Even the title Tankie is too undeserving of them, they don’t care aboutbany of that shit. They are authoritarian bootllickers and that is all.

          Can we not assume that every question asked on Lemmy is hostile? I don’t see what’s wrong with that comment. Besides, I don’t think @[email protected] is pro-hexbear anyway.

        Why does this comment have 10 downvotes? Seems like a genuine, well-intentioned question to me.

          Because it’s irrelevant what country they’re from. An argument should stand or fall on its own merits, not on the basis of who makes it. In that sense the question isn’t an intellectually serious one. People can sense that even if they don’t necessarily articulate it, hence the downvotes.

          Because most the people in this thread are just here yo flex hate on anything they consider anti american without actually engaging in actual discussion.

          You know, like the discussion that happens on hexbear that is constantly met with ‘fuck you tankie’.

            You clearly haven’t been in this community for very long.

            I’ve yet to see any dissent or speech that suggests against communism in Hexbear. If you see any, feel free to link it.
