Socialism has been proven to do far more for its citizens than Capitalism. Capitalism is just a phase in development, Socialism supercedes it.
Yep, the mods have even openly expressed disdain for Marxism, referring to it as "a phase in college." When you take a deliberately anti-Leftist stance, you become a welcoming space for the far-right, hence why instances that block Hexbear or Grad tend to be home to the most right-wing individuals on Lemmy.
Not a boomer, I'm a Communist.
Really wish I could hear an explanation for keeping Nutomic around when there is blatant transphobia. Either a public apology or something along those lines, it's clear Nutomic has made trans users feel unsafe and that goes against the stated anti-transphobia aims.
In what way? Conservativism is a branch of Liberalism, just like Progressivism. They are all under the Capitalist umbrella of Liberalism. The opposite, therefore, is Socialism.
That's fair to bring up, but from speaking to trans comrades on Hexbear.net it seems Blahaj doesn't do a great job protecting trans users, despite the focus of the instance, due to issues with some troublesome moderators. That's ignoring the whole anti-Marxism thing Blahaj has going on, of course, I don't think that's entirely relevant but wanted to bring it up to put it to rest.
Beehaw is interesting, it's a micro-instance so I am not sure how to judge it. Hexbear is many times larger than both Blahaj and Beehaw and yet manages to have 0 transphobia, which is an achievement even if we assume neither Beehaw nor Blahaj have transphobia either.
The overall activity, diversity in content across communities, and mandatory pronoun listing in Hexbear is at the top of trans-inclusivity and protection in Lemmy instances, that's pretty much undeniable.
Typical LW L. From the mods literally admitting to being anti-Marxist to failing to protect trans users, LW is sowing its own destruction.
Good to have a repository for Marxist aligned channels. I wonder if the Anarchists might want a list of their own? I'm not an Anarchist but I think that might be appreciated by them.
People absolutely push back, which is why fascism happens. It's a defense mechanism against it.
I suggest reading the first chapter of Blackshirts and Reds, it explains fascism and its origins.
There are (none/use name) options, and new options are added by request. It isn't just he/him they/them she/her, and you can have multiple sets of pronouns.
