Xi rides dragons and also “rides” dragons. xi/drag person-independent pronouns. That means xi’s pronouns are the same in first, second, and third person.

Here in the communist movement, we use actually existing communism, or AEC, as a model. You guys emulate failed states like the USSR that collapsed without ever achieving communism due to administrative mismanagement. We emulate economies that successfully did communism for thousands of years.

And the fact that you don’t want the anarchists to win is why we say you have no belief in left unity and aren’t a leftist. We ancoms, syndicalists, soulists, mutualists, trade unionists, anarcho-pacifists, transhumanists, market socialists, egoists, and so on will sit over here in our big leftism tent and actually get work done while you guys argue about theory and try to fracture the movement apart.

You want a “socialist” revolution, and would turn your nose up at a communist revolution creating communism immediately. Drag thinks you have to support the idea of a communist revolution in order to be a communist. Unless you already live in communism.

They claim to be orthodox Marxist, but they deny that and many other things Marx said. Like that the revolution must be worldwide. Stalin created the idea of “communism in one country” as part of his “Marxism-Leninism”, which doesn’t have much to do with Marx or Lenin. They get all their opinions on Marx and Lenin from Stalin, who was co-opting their images to promote himself while betraying their ideals.

No. Communism has existed in the Americas and Australia for thousands of years. But the lemmy.ml mods won’t admit it. They think communism has never succeeded.

Every state burns oil. Therefore every state is oppressing drag. You logic would only work if they weren’t harming everyone. Besides, the Palestinians and the Ukrainians have asked for our help.

Drag doesn’t think Nutomic is smart enough to make the point you just did without saying a slur.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 7 hours ago:
Drag hopes their financial system becomes desperate enough, and enough people say it’s about lemmy.ml, that they realise they have little choice but to take lemmy.ml offline. If that happened, they would still be able to develop for Lemmy full time, and the tankie nonsense would be gone. Everyone wins.
If they would rather get jobs and stop working on Lemmy than take lemmy.ml offline, then drag’s none too pleased with their priorities and is comfortable enough with seeing them go. Someone will fork the software and keep working on it.

Drag sees the effort you’re making and is grateful. You aren’t causing offense.
Yes, “biological male” would be scientifically valid language - in part - but it would not minimise harm. Trans women is much better, you’re right. Drag says it would be scientifically valid in part, because the trans women competing in the Olympics are required to no longer be entirely male. They must be on estrogen and testosterone blockers. That means regardless of what happened in the past, their body is currently performing many of the biological processes of a female, and not many of a male. In the parts of sex relevant to athletic performance, trans women are entirely non-male. Drag would say they’re females, except that trans women actually tend to be weaker than cis women due to lower testosterone. All bodies, male or female, produce testosterone. With testosterone blockers, trans women are at lower testosterone levels than a cis woman.
The only thing I see them denying is that the same group of people spreading trans rights are also the ones spreading transphobia…which sounds logical to me?
We, the trans community, spread trans rights. We pressured them into putting LGBT flags on buildings. The Olympic Committee are not the government, they’re a private organisation, and they weren’t pressured to allow trans women by governments, they were pressured by a group of scientists employed by the IOC Medical Commission (initially, in 2003. There have been developments since then).
We have been saying the owning class is attacking us for years. It should be obvious from Trump’s attacks on transgender people that billionaires hate us. And Rupert Murdoch owned media has been spreading transphobia all over the world for a lot longer than that.
If you’ll permit drag to speculate as to why: Capitalism and patriarchy are very closely linked. Trans people’s existence is a radical threat to the patriarchy at a basic level. If anyone can be any gender, if the “objective reality” of gender is destroyed, then gender oppression becomes nonsense. Rich white men want to preserve the social system that keeps them at the top, and trans people’s existence makes it obvious to everyone that they shouldn’t be.

Huh. Drag misremembered. It was just a community ban performed by the lemmy.ml admins, and it’s expired
Drag will have to unblock that community and post more leftist history until the ban is permanent. Shouldn’t take long.

If the state had agreed to the students’ demands for minimum wage and the right to strike, there wouldn’t have been any instability. Suppressing revolutions with tanks doesn’t make society more stable. Sounds like the USSR sucked just as bad as the USA if they fell for that easy bait.

Here’s something else for you to argue with:
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 8 hours ago:
Speaking from a place of explicit respect for minorities’ lived experiences, and using appropriate terminology that is both scientifically accurate and minimises harm.
This comment fails on all three counts:
“Biological men” is not a scientific term, because biologists don’t study men and women, they study males and females. Man and woman are genders, which are studied by psychologists and sociologists.
“Biological men” is not a term that minimises harm. Calling trans women men is a form of misgendering, which has been well documented to cause psychological distress and worsen mental health.
The comment denies the statement from lived experience by trans people, that trans people are being targeted by the owning class. Members of a privileged majority telling the minority that they’re wrong about their daily experiences isn’t respectful.Drag will be happy to provide sources for any of the claims in this comment which you have doubts about. In return, drag asks that you keep an open scientific mind, seek to minimise harm, and listen to minorities about our lived experiences.

Drag would propose that most of Dessalines’ “development” wages are probably being spent on hours moderating .ml, and that’s at least a grand per month.

Drag is an anarchist and banned from lemmy.ml for being left wing, so drag hopes you will listen with an open mind to this:
Karl Marx said that communism is stateless. That means in communism, the government has no authority to coerce people. Authoritarianism isn’t communism. In fact, Joseph Stalin never claimed that the USSR had achieved communism. He said they’d achieved socialism, and he made empty promises that it would be communist at some point in the future.
You know where communism was actually successfully implemented? America and Australia. Karl Marx and his friends were inspired by the Haudenosaunee people of North America. Marx called it “primitive communism”.

They’ll get more money if they shut down lemmy.ml
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 11 hours ago:
Lemmy won’t die. They’ll have enough money to develop the software if they just take lemmy.ml offline, and then they’d get more donation money overnight.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 12 hours ago:
Nobody should give you money.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 12 hours ago:
The developers spend donations to the Lemmy software on their instance lemmy.ml. A lot of people don’t want to donate to lemmy.ml
They’ll be fine if they stop spending money on lemmy.ml

Vision is Jarvis after he became fully self aware and got a body.
Gamora is a space mercenary who joined the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Bruce Banner is the guy who turns into the Hulk.
Groot is an anthropomorphic tree who only says “I am Groot”
Mjolnir is Thor’s magic hammer

Vision and Gamora both die but Gamora gets replaced with a time clone. The Hulk and Banner integrate and become Smart Hulk. Captain America wields Mjolnir and Thor forges an axe called Stormbreaker whose handle is Groot’s arm.
