I was bullied for off Lemmy.One by the hexbear mods who sent hexbear users my way to harass me…
All for (while I’m still a raging communist) not being a pro authoritarian communist.

That’s kind of just socialism then.

No, I find socialism and markets to be a cpaitalist compromise that still breeds wasteful middlemen. More regulated middlemen, but still.

I’ve never heard of communism being an economic framework before, I thought it just meant a system without capitalism or a state. Do you have something short I could read about communism being an economic framework?

Assuming you’re genuinely asking, Communism isn’t so much a “status” as it is a strategy for reaching the famous “Stateless, Classlesd, Moneyless society” it is often shorthanded as. It involves smashing the existing state, and replacing it with a state-as-non-state, ie a form designed to wither away once global class antagonisms are made redundant.
That sounds like nonsense without reading theory, unfortunately, but if you want something short, Marx’s Critique of the Gotha Programme goes over what a transition to Communism may look like. Lenin’s The State and Revolution also goes over what that looks like, it’s roughly a quarter Marx and Engels quotes and he analyzes how Marx and Engels changed their views after the Paris Commune.

If you don’t understand socialism, sure.

Thats… kind of the opposite of socialism. Socialism, at least the ideal form, is when the ‘workers hold the means of production’, with no figure heads. This is closer to authoritarianism, with a charismatic leader commanding people to do things.

See this just reads as a complete misunderstanding of what communism is. The word Communism is derived from the word Commune, in which there is traditionally no standard power structure. Too much red scare propaganda. To me of the most prevalent feelings of authoritarianism in my life has been the boss/underling dynamic in the workplace under capitalism.
I’m pro communist economics and pro democratic governance

Nothing you’ve said seems objectionable, I can’t imagine what set them off.
Do you consider the party apparatus of say, Cuba, where every position is elected and has instant recall, and their last constitutional referendum passed with 90%+ approval, to be democratic?

I’m not sure if you are saying what i said (that someone in charge sending his minions to harass someone is closer to authoritarianism), or him.
I definitely should have used the word “communism” in my sentence, but since he used socialism, i didn’t want to change the subject from socialism to communism.

That’s called harrasment and possibly borderline stalking

At least you got them all working together for a common cause. I mean, it’s a start.
