      I’m deeply sorry that we don’t like supporting the oppression of marginalized groups here

          Love how you just assume I’m from the west. I’m eastern european, my family is also, and we lived through everything - and I’ve yet to meet someone other than western investors and young kids who thinks things are good/better now

        Oppressing people is like 90% of what Communists do. The other 10% is lying about everything.

      I’m genuinely curious - what do you think communism is? There’s been a lot of definitions over the years and a lot of confusion over the subject, so I’m really interested to hear what do people such as yourself think communism really is that makes them hostile to the idea.

        Myself? I like the dictionary definition of communism.

        I’m short, worker enfranchisement and abolition of the commodity form.

        Edit: Look at the definitely intellectually honest morons downvoting the dictionary definition of communism.

        You’re not genuinely curious. You are looking for the person’s view point so you can dismiss, ridicule and rebuff it with some half assed bullshit commie revisionism propaganda.

        That’s what you lot do, you lie and take advantage of the disadvantaged. That is the REALITY of what Communism is. I don’t give two shits about your 1st year political science student’s view of Das Kapital.

        It’s had over 100 years to prove it doesn’t lead to authoritarianism, brutality and oppression. And it has proved the opposite every fucking time.

          Those damn communists with their

          checks notes

          Asking what your interpretation of the word is so they can actually discuss the concepts

          Completely unnecessary and hostile reaction ☹️

          Different cultures, education, experiences and upbringings lead people to have different interpretations of and feelings towards various ideologies. IMO It is only fair for OC to establish the definition first, rather than unknowingly discuss something completely different with the other user.

          Responses like this are why a shit ton of users on these platforms do your username and don’t interact with anything

          It was a genuine question, but if I’ve struck a nerve with that somewhere, then I’m sorry.

            Don’t bullshit me. I know how you lot operate. I’m not interested in your playing possum in an attempt to appear to be the victim either.

            Communist aren’t interested in knowing the views of others. They are only interested in imposing their view of “socialist ideals” onto others.

              Hey pal, stress is bad for the body. Can be as bad as chain smoking if you have chronic stress.

              Lemmy is full of leftists, and that looks like a trigger for ya. Just be safe out there.

              Also, grouping all communists together is exceptionally inacurate. Lots of variety in leftism. Obviously, if you are discussing politics with a leftist they’ll likely want to discuss the merits of “socialist ideals” with you.
