You were probably banned from .ml. because speaking against the hive there falls within their vague “everything we don’t like is a rule 1 violation!”
Comment on Le Reddit Army is Here 2: Electric Boogaloo

Semi fascist mods from reddit seem to leak to non political subs here on Lemmy too.
Could someone please explain to me how I can access the public mod log? I would love to know why I’m banned from memes at lemmy.ml … it has something to do with china being closer to fascism than communism… but I can’t say more about the core reason. Except maybe… don’t discuss with a mod or it’s cronies.

I imagine if they were properly communist, the US would have never allowed them to rise. There’d have been assassinations, coups, and purposeful destabilizations like we saw in south america.

Do you mean China? So, just to frontload this - I don’t think China or any Marxist-Leninist states managed to be properly communist, outside of symbolism. There’s material reasons for that, too, mostly that the cycle of capital accumulation from labour -> reinvestment into productive forces continued in an exploitative way. Both Mao and Stalin wrote things trying to justify that dynamic persisting, Mao’s most damning comment comes from a footnote on a document from 1953, which can be found as “On State Capitalism” on marxists.org. Stalin meanwhile wrote “Economic Problems of Socialism in the USSR”, which has intersting stuff like “The Law of Value Under Socialism”, and was very influential in China.
But at the time of the Chinese Civil War and Mao’s faction winning out, the US simply wasn’t the powerhouse of international meddling it was, yet. Even so, western allies tried to focus their support on the Chinese Nationalists and KMT, but they proved to be too incompetent and disorganised at the time. When the US started to court the People’s Republic of China again much later, it was because of the conflict between the Soviet Union and China, as well as there being a huge market for industrial and consumer goods, as well as for investing accumulated (dead) capital beckoning.
Point being: It’s a bit of a fallacy to imagine the US as this omnipotent international imperialist, especially before the Cold War. Not that they don’t do a lot of meddling, but they aren’t able to just do anything to anyone everywhere (even though secret services, be it CIA, FSB or Mossad - they will always want you to believe in their omniscience and omnipotence).

I can’t link to it, because I’m on the app, but the modlog says a rule one violation (civility), with no removed or quoted comment, so………

? But the comment got deleted… okay. At least I am relieved. Thank you for looking it up!

Go to the instance in question, scroll to the bottom of the page, click modlog.
You were rather predictably banned for criticizing China. You hit the nail on the head with your last statement, if a .ml mod or admin are participating in a given thread, don’t even bother

No prob. Sorry you had a rough run in with that group, it’s unfortunately an all too common problem.
