Comment on Lemmy is the best social media

Of course I like criticising actual liberals. I just don’t like criticising socialists who don’t like to go the tankie way whom u call liberals.

Who said that?
Lemmy.world is a predominantly liberal instance, not a predominantly Socialist instance. Most people here are liberals and just want to reform Capitalism into a healthier version of itself, rather than change Mode of Production to Socialism.

I got called a liberal for wanting to support cooperatives. I got called a liberal for not wanting to participate in an armed socialist revolution.
I’ve largely seen the word “liberal” being used by tankies to dismiss the opinions of all people that they disagree with.

Did that happen here, or are you projecting that onto others?
As for supporting cooperatives, you’d be a Market Socialist, so not a Communist, but not really liberal either.
As for the question of Reform or Revolution, it’s pretty clear by this point that Reform might as well be impossible. Revolutionary Leftists would certainly love reform if it worked, but you can clearly see what happened to Allende the last time a Marxist won democratically. You can even see last night’s attempted coup in Bolivia against the Social Democrat Arce.
As such, the majority of Socialists are Revolutionary, so you have more fringe views.

If by “here”, u mean lemmy, then yes. They were hexbear ppl.
Socialism is the transitory state to communism. I believe in the communist utopia and I believe that this cooperative kind of market socialism will lead us there.
I would disagree there. I would love to explain why, but I’m really tired right now to type much stuff out. Ik it’s a cop out. I’m sorry.
Eh… Most socialists where I’m from have such views. MLs are in fact the rarity in my experience offline.
