Western perception of “Social credit” largely propaganda btw and if you believe it isnt then you got manipulated.

    i’m getting close to blocking. their behavior i feel violates rule 6 (or 7 i can’t see the sidebar on mobile) that users of this community should not deify past socialist experience. they have demonstrated a pattern of behavior that strongly favors imperialism with a veneer of leftist aesthetic. the mods ignoring this pattern in the face of reports has left a really bad taste in my mouth that’s been slowly driving me away from dbzer0 and anarchist.nexus, two of my former favorite instances aside from my own here at slrpnk.net.

    totalitarian authoritarian regimes are what socialism and communism are meant to be an alternative to, not something we should celebrate as long as they wear a red coat of paint. it’s been very dissapointing as the rules of this communicate that this is supposed to be a generally left comm but more and more it’s just [email protected] but on another instance

      Yes I do feel leftymemes @ dbzer0 unfortunately has a sizeable ML influence.

      The main mod of this community actually does some soviet union apologia I think. Which means the rules 6 basically isnt followed while they’re in charge.

        It’s really only 2 or 3 users (who I think are mods or admins) that are pushing the tankie trash.

        db0 the admin seems alright, so I’m not sure why they allow this behavior here.

        Keep in mind, nobody has been able to cite a single comment of mine that has “deified” anything. I have never praised Stalin (go check my comment history), however I have merely pointed out the success of the USSR. Big fucking deal lol.

        Honesty hilarious and ironic to see this level of panic and censorship over a mere difference of opinion, while crying about the authoritarianism of China and Stalin.

        Pretty embarrassing for you guys.
