It hasn’t really been my experience here. Yeah there is some.
Have you tried being less aimless at what you subscribe here? Do you come here because you want to connect with information, or just mindlessly doom scroll and consume?
If you’re not intentional about your social media tools, you will have a bad time.
Or maybe it is that bad and I’m just tuning it out? I pass by a lot of stuff that I don’t interact with.
See, you got the right idea. Lots of stuff i don’t agree with i just let it sliiiide on by.
90% of the homies angry at the bear and .ml are that one type you already know. The type that can’t stand to see something in their feed they disagree with. Like the guys who’ll come into Apple threads to say “Android is superior lol”.
So anyway these chuckleheads come into those socialist threads with the attitude they were gonna “teach some 14 yo commies” or some other candy-assed shit and got whiplash from gettin bounced hard by a mod.
I love to see it. Every time a thread like this pops up a bunch of trolls come out to complain and i get to look up their mod logs to laugh at their embarrassing moments.
Its not a great habit, schadenfreude, but it beats smoking weed
Not the case. I may disagree with some of the stuff on ml or the bear, but a bad meme is a bad meme
Lemmy.world is defederated from the major Marxist instances, so that filters out a lot of discussion about Socialism.
Actually I find that it allows more range of Socialism strains to be discussed. A lot of Marxists tend to look rather poorly at any mixed Socialism blends as either heretical or as liminal states with Communism as a complete end goal instead of being legitimate in their own right.
Where ever Marxism tends to particularly flourish erasure of a lot of other Socialist philosophy tends to be the norm. Socialism is a big range of different veiws of how publicly held and private property domains intermix with a lot of foundational philosophy some of which pre-dates or were contemporaries of Marx. Marx may have coined the term but it’s important to remember that when he was writing his work there were specific peers in his feild that some of it was directed at who he was sort of in agreement with and sort of not. Many wholeheartedly adopted his term for the broad stroke of their own philosophy even though they would later be at loggerheads about details. Later in life Marx really did not get along with other prominent Socialists of his era. Those who subscribe very heavily to his text tend to follow his tradition of being very dismissive of other Socialist strains and rather combative because the text is very fiery and segments well into calls for violence
If one wants to go talk Marxism the other instances are always there and are generally better venues. It’s valuable to have spaces that have differences so that other schools of political thought have air. As far as Marxists here go, since having a group that usually denies others the very words they use to self identify by, demanding they be called illegitimate, sucks all the air from the room they are generally not particularly welcome in the space unless they demonstrate they can play nice with others.
A lot of Marxists tend to look rather poorly at any mixed Socialism blends as either heretical or as liminal states with Communism as a complete end goal instead of being legitimate in their own right.
Additionally, those instances delete any comments that don’t align perfectly with their agenda, and routinely ban people who want actual discussion. So they’re not a place to discuss ideologies, they’re a place to pat each other on the back and talk about how smart and right they are.

The PRC is an example of a Socialist Market Economy, it isn’t fully socialized. What Marxists take issue with is Dictatorships of the Bourgeoisie vs Dictatorships of the Proletariat.
Marx may have coined the term
Marx did not coin the term. Marx was simply the most relevant and influential Socialist, and history has proven his ideas to be correct.
It’s a shame they can’t see you defending the guy calling for the death of all americans ='[
How will Hexbear users threaten to execute them by firing squad if they’re not federated :(
Edit: This happened to me, so any real people down voting can shove it.
Because they didn’t, you defended an IDF soldier that was “bored of her office job and went on raids for fun,” and that’s yet another time you’ve misgendered them after it has been pointed out repeatedly. You also DM harassed them, and made multiple posts about it on multiple instances. Get over it and touch grass.
