Its a shame because they’re prominent voice on lemmy. Good on the admins for not tolerating this. I don’t understand the point of targeting a person you don’t like on the internet just because they said something that upset you and spamming their post with downvotes. If you don’t like someone block their ass and be done with it. I agree with the perspective that its harassment (and an incredibly petty ineffective form of it at that)
DemSoc is not Marxist and hasn’t been since before the fall of the USSR.
No, it’s just clear your comprehension isn’t where it actually needs to be and you didn’t read that screenshot carefully enough to see what it actually says.
I bet the whole reason you don’t read Marxist theories is because you literally don’t understand what they’re saying.
DemSoc also just bugs me as a label, all socialism is democratic. What DemSocs should really label themselves is reformist socialists, but because they can’t help but attack Marxists, they stick to cold war slander against AES by pretending reformist socialism is the only democratic form of socialism.
Oh, so the Soviet Union wasn’t socialist, you agree, then? And neither is the PRC?
Nah, the PRC is democratic, and so was the USSR. Both are examples of socialism in the real world. I really don’t know what you’re trying to do here, I think you need to step away from the keyboard for a bit because you seem to have been here for hours now.
I think we do know what he’s trying to do, because he’s been doing it every, single, day, for the last year; though I may never understand why.
Yep, they can’t seem to stop themselves from picking fights. It’s like they want to justify their bans.
Fun for me to poke though
Fair enough, lol.
“Democracy is when there’s one candidate approved by the government, and you can only vote for them.”
Okay, fascist.
Lmao, you and I both know that isn’t how democracy works in the PRC and it isn’t how it worked in the Soviet Union. You should also be aware of the historical tie fascism has with anticommunism. You’re just doing word salad now, please just do yourself a favor and take a break for a few days or something. You’ve been all over this thread.
He’s reporting you, ofc. When he doesn’t have mod power to silence people, he demands to speak with manager to do it for him.
For someone who calls people boot lickers and power trippers so often, he sure likes wielding & appealing to authority. 📽
Deeply unserious. I feel bad for them, seems they feel dogpiled on and are trying to defend themselves, but in doing so they are lashing out even at people not directly mentioning them.
“Golly gee I wonder why someone might report literal fascist bootlicking”

But I know fascists have a loose relationship with the truth.
I recommend you read Soviet Democracy by Pat Sloan, an American who visited the USSR in the 30s, participated in its elections, and documented the electoral process. There’s also this article that gives a brief overview of how they functioned. It even has this neat diagram:
I’m not sure what purpose you fulfill in just linking me a Wikipedia page we both know I’ve already read. The Wikipedia article even mentions Pat Sloan’s work as a source, so it should be good reading for you.
Finally, again, fascism is a bourgeois system fundamentally reliant on private property rights over the large firms and key industries. It’s capitalism using its full toolset in times of crisis to stick together. Communists are not fascists, we support collectivization of production and economic planning to better fulfil people’s needs.
I again recommend stepping away from the keyboard, you’re just crashing out at this point and willy-nilly calling leftists “fascists.”
Excellent literacy
You don’t know fascism from a hole in the ground, horseshoe theorist.
Previously.
You’re literally sitting here defending single-candidate elections as democratic and socialist.
What’s your favorite flavor of boot polish - the one that tastes of Uyghur genocide, or the one that tastes of Ukrainian genocide?
