Lemmy attracts personalities that don’t get along with IRL communities.
Comment on The highlighted division and factions of Lemmy.
Valmond@lemmy.world 2 days agoI have tried to talk to anarchists here, as I feel there is potentially something to it, but it always ends up with “read this and shut up libtard”-like posts. A shame, we should welcome different opinions and angles seing things, not always try to “convert” everyone to some very specific thing. IMO.

you have been pretty anti-communist every time we’ve intracted, on top of calling me a tankie. not surprised you’re having trouble with people welcoming your different opinion

You are a tankie though.
In what susbtasive manner (real world issues) are you different from a stereotypical tankie?
Valmond@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Oh I see, it is I who have to “welcome a different option”.
Most of “communism” here on lemmy is either hardcore stalin/lenin/mao authoritarian ruling or it is some sort of workers dictatorship. What’s not to criticise? And when you try to discuss you get downvoted and people act aggressively, or so I feel.
I also does not know what that has to do with anarchism?

reread my comment, not what I said. Maybe if you’re less quick to call people tankies you might not get called a liberal in response.
I consider a workers dictatorship to be a lesser evil compared to the dictatorship of capital we live in currently.
To put it simply, anarchists want to abolish hierarchy, communists want to abolish private property. They overlap when you want both. Liberals tend work to protect both of those things.

Okay, like I’d love everyone getting together well, but I know it won’t happen, but I can still try, and maybe make the world a little better.
Your ideas are absolutists, there is no possible gradation, and even taken one by one they are insane idea that has never worked, and you want both? How is that even going to work? No property, no rulers, I mean good luck with that.
It’s just not possible to have a serious conversation here, so I wish you luck!
Cheers

PS. If you’re not a pro authoritarian please accept my apologies.

If you want to find out if they’re an actual tankie, just look for anything related to Russia or China. They out themselves pretty quick, usually.

Can you elaborate? is tankie just pejorative shorthand for ‘isn’t repeating the approved narrative’
