      What can be asserted without evidence can be discarded without evidence.

        Which is why mikas comment can be dismissed, and you’re ignoring the personal attack.

      Here’s my refute.

      A communist and an anarchist walk into a bar. The anarchist proceeds to get shithoused, then fights a bonehead. The commie discusses political philosophy and theory with their friends while this goes down, then criticizes the anarchist for “performative gestures” instead of strategizing for long term effective action. The anarchist has a few more shots, smokes a cigarette, and waits for the next bonehead to arrive. The commies leave after deciding on what their world will look like after the revolution but make no plans on how to kickoff the revolution.

      Usually when you make a claim it’s up to you to support it with some kind of evidence.

      Asking someone to refute something they disagree with is basically asking someone to prove a negative.

    What’s wrong with .ml?

      It is extremely heavily moderated in favor of communism, so it is a very big echo chamber. Everything seems very calm and respectable as long as you don’t dig too deep, because any dissenting opinions quickly get removed. So there isn’t a whole lot of argument that happens among .ml users. But checking the mod logs tells a very different story.

      Also, it’s the only instance that the lead Lemmy dev uses, so anyone who wants to stay up to date on lemmy’s development is forced to federate with .ml. There have also been some controversies about the dev putting dev donations towards running the instance, which ruffled a lot of feathers from people who want to support the dev but not the instance.

        I was all for the pro-communist bias, but I do agree it’s an echo chamber that shuts down dissenting opinions. I was banned from a community for criticising China with depth, sadly many communists are wholly incapable of adequately addressing the real failures of China without passing it off as no big deal in an apologetic 1-2 liner at best (before proceeding to write paragraphs about how it’s the US’ fault and how other progressive countries “will be considered reactionary in the future”, or some other dumb shit).

        The donations thing seems dumb though. You want to support the dev but not the instance?..weird.

  What the fuck are you talking about. Look at what the USSR did to the Makhnovshchina. Anarchists have always been there for it, but the moment we cause a threat to the new ML power structure we are killed. No “Communist” country has truly followed the goal of Communism, a steless classless society. They always get caught up in political struggle and power dynamics, falling right into the same authoritarian tendencies as any capitalist country.

  MLs really do be like that, not able to carry through a revolution without depending on anarchists. talks tough in the sheets, but is weak in the streets.
