Gotcha, so the anti-Deng ultraleft Maoists who denounce the modern PRC are the "tankies." You'll be happy to know that they are a fringe view among modern Marxists, especially fringe on Lemmy.
Also, ban evasion, misogyny, and homophobia all in one comment? Is that a bingo?
You may be interested in the article Why do Marxists Fail to Bring the "Worker's Paradise?" Marxists disagree with the idea that AES states are autocracies, while acknowledging that AES certainly isn't a wonderland.
Additionally, Marxists don't have an issue with hierarchy, but classes. The Marxist and Anarchist notions of the state are different, and as such judging AES by how well it advanced goals it never had is a bit silly.
Nobody said that, neither choice is going to solve it so it's better to abandon both if genocide is a red line for you.
It's becoming multipolar, with right-wingers on the Lemmy.world side and left wingers on the Lemmy.ml side, and the various instances aligned with each and neither. The Lemmy.world moderators are also Zionists that allow hasbara but censor comments that show the complicity of the Democrats in genocide as "misinformation."
Haven't seen anyone doing that, plus that's a homophobic and misogynistic framing of that statement anyways.
The Dictatorship of the Proletariat isn't a literal dictatorship, but an establishment of Proletarian supremacy over Capital. It's still democratic.
Nuanced views of AES is extremist?
What's a "tankie," in your eyes, and how are they meaningfully distinct from Communists? Marxists defend AES, can acknowledge the failures and struggles of AES while praising the myriad successes as well, it's liberals that always refuse to have a nuanced take on AES.
Secondly, there is no such thing as a "balance of both" Capitalism and Socialism. Either the Proletariat is in charge or the Bourgeoisie are in charge, and as such there will never be a balance.
Horseshoe theory is debunked nonsense, using it like a trump card in an argument is hilarious.
Read Blackshirts and Reds, by the way.
This isn't an argument, I am asking for clarification. I'm not trying to "win." Which statements need an "I think" or "it appears to me as if?" Personally, it looks like I am being directly discriminated against, because other commenters get away with the same phrasing but with pro-Dem messages, I don't see those phrases in every comment yet only few comments get removed, like mine.
Yes, that is the liberal plan, unclear why they think it would work.
No problem! Let me know if you have any questions, it's a short article so it's lighter on details for tangentially related topics for the sake of brevity.
