It’s interesting to get a perspective from someone living in Africa. I sadly rarely hear from you lot there. What part of Africa, if I may ask, comrade?

If you ask me, the US is indeed a danger to Europe now that the south and midwest rapidly are couping the rest from an imperfect bourgeoise democracy - into a fascist dictatorship. But it wasn’t always that way, and this damage must be undone.

For there is a lot of good around in the world that we can find and when we look only for the bad, we become addled with inaction, with fear. And that doesn’t help the labour’s cause.

Most Lemmings are from Europe, North America, or New Zealand & Australia. More rarely will you find those from elsewhere. That, and Lemmy was primarily found on being a hub for Marxist-Leninists.

Though in more recent times more people that align with left-wing movements have joined here, primarily due to the Reddit API greed’s exodus. Many came here due to the decentral nature of the fediverse, which is inherently opposed to the oligarchic structures that enabled that API drama in the first place.

So naturally there’s a “bias” against capitalism, and since there aren’t many socialist larger powers left in the world, that gives a pro-CCP boost.

Me? I have my reservations about Marxist-Leninism. I would describe myself as an anarchist communist, or a council communist. In terms of where I align, I decline countries altogether. But for my own liberty to speak out, I’m not exactly a fan of the Usonian (since they repress personal liberties due to religious indoctrination) or Chinese government (due to their crackdown on class solidarity with queers). In both countries, a lot of people exist that have their own respectable views, but unfortunately, it is leadership that can be the root of repression and corruption.

Ultimately, I believe that socialism and communism are the better path, and that those are only possible through full liberation and emancipation from repression, including those of queers. I prefer a community exchange system over one where economic colonialism renews itself in perpetuity.
