I always hated the Leninist model of communism.

Lenin betrayed the revolution because he lost the 1917 election.

He dissolved the newly elected assembly 13 hours into it's first meeting. (Not that the meeting lasted for 13 hours, they had adjourned for the day, and then Lenin declared them all Counter Revolutionary)

That single act started the Russian Civil War.

Then he has the gall to claim that the new totalitarian government he formed was in any way socialist.

If the state owns everything, and you have zero say in what that state does, then you don't live under socialism, you live under feudalism.

The only path to socialism is via democracy.

Look at this troll using reason. Blocked /s

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

The vast amount that Lenin contributed to Marxist Theory and his vital role in creating the first Socialist State, which uplifted hundreds of millions of people and supported numerous anti-colonial and anti-imperialist movements the world over, is absolutely worthy of praise.

I’m sure the Ukrainians, Chechens, Georgians, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Armenians and more resoundingly agree with this take

There is a poll that "people" never wanted USSR to fall apart says the tankie but

Let's just ignore the referendums held with many relublics having high turn outs and 80-90% votes to leave lol

Being banned from lemmy.ml is a badge of honor.

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

[-] Blaze@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago

To be fair, I don't mind having most of the issues about hexbear, ml and lemmygrad centralized here

This leaves !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for other stuff

I feel general ranting can go here, but mod bans for trivial or made up reason like this could also be crossposted to YPTB to help get it some activity. It doesn't have to be an either/or situation.

[-] Blaze@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

I still have to write my post for YPTB. Maybe this weekend if I have some time.

On the other hand not having too much activity on YPTB shows that there isn't too much power tripping happening, which is good too

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

It could be that, or it could be that it's still relatively unknown though.

I just saw a new post about pet food on !vegan@lemmy.world , so potentially new material to cover

[-] archomrade@midwest.social -2 points 1 month ago

Shoutout to Cowbee for being the most patient Leninist i've ever seen.

[-] Blaze@feddit.org -1 points 1 month ago

He's usually quite nice to discuss with

[-] archomrade@midwest.social -1 points 1 month ago

Idk who downvoted you but I've only ever really seen him be exceedingly polite. Like, he'll get into a debate with someone who's clearly just there to stir shit and he will quite patiently and honestly respond to their concerns.

Love or hate his political opinions, he's just so nice it's hard to be mad at him.

[-] Blaze@feddit.org -1 points 1 month ago

Indeed!

Welcome to MoG!

Meanwhile On Grad

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!

What is a Tankie?

Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of biased source)

Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.

Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.

Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.

Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.

Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.

You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
