we’ll give you a pass.

I don’t need your pass, my point is perfectly clear, you’ve contributed nothing to the conversation

How does one do community?

Depends on the community, I know nothing about who you are, where you’re from, what kind of area you live in (a city block, a small town neighbourhood, and a rural village all have their own different challenges), or what the people around you could use help with.

First of all try to figure out if you’re able to provide anything others could benefit from - time? Money? Equipment? The means to move people or property? Are you an educator? Am advocate? A tinkerer? A builder? A cook? A carer? A writer? An artist? Are you too poor/overworked/disabled and feel like there’s nothing you can currently help with? Whatever the case, there is value to your being part of the community and contributing from your lived experience.

Then try and form relationships with the people around you, and from there learn how you might be able to help. Depending on your community there might be an online group, a newsletter or zine, a community centre, a place of worship, a pub - all are likely to have some leads to people already active in the community who you can join, or at the very least learn from about what’s going on locally, and go from there.

The point is to build solidarity and class (and other injustice) consciousness, and to show people through actions that we are stronger together.

Maybe give some of these a read:

You’re just repeating the meme.

They are all bad, they are all part of the problems we face globally, and whatabouting “them” to avoid facing criticism of “us” only serves those in power by deflecting criticism of them.

Only if you don’t know what communism is : a stateless, classless, moneyless society.

Calling something that isn’t that communism doesn’t magically make it that, just like calling something (national) socialism doesn’t make it that.

So please, do explain how massive corporations as an extension of the state fit in to actual communism. (I won’t wait)

Lebensraum.

It doesn’t need to be a real problem, for them to make it one.

The immigrant work force will still be there, they’ll just be put in camps and forced to work for nothing, while white working class people are sold the idea of “claiming back” “their” land, while the capitalists take it all over in their name (and never share any of the profits or benefits, of course, with a new scapegoat as for why as they need it).

He’s already won the election. He doesn’t have to keep posturing like this.

That was never his end goal, and you’re naive to think otherwise.

As for the rest, you’re missing a key step - to get them all “deported”, first they need to be rounded up, and put in camps (we already past this point a while back), and then since they’re already in camps, they might as well be put to work. For free (another point we’ve past). When they start dying off in big enough numbers for it to affect production, there will be another group marked for “deportation” and rounded up for their turn.

This isn’t fascism’s first fucking rodeo, and it isn’t only now getting started, it has been in motion for a good while now.

I knew there was a good laugh to be had whatever their reply, but thanks for amplifying it. Literally textbook. 🤣

I’m not sure from a mod or admin point of view (while I am a mod in one community as a backup, I’ve not done any moderating myself), but I know that if you block a person on your own account, the only indication they’d have is that you don’t reply.

From what I understand it’s actually quite a difficult issue to address on the fediverse, since content is mirrored on so many instances, deleting or blocking it on one would have very little to no impact on other instances, and obviously ban evasion is much harder to spot, since anyone can open as many accounts on as many instances as they like. I would imagine it makes it really hard to stay on top of shit that comes in, especially the worst things like abusive content containing children.

I hate to waste any more time on you, but also I could use a good laugh - please, enlighten us, who is it you are so empathetic towards in this post? 🤔

You got all that from three words

Lmfao, yeah pretty much… You’re not as complex or special as you like to think you are, just another generic clown… 😂

And you sound like a bigot who feels personally attacked and is getting defensive… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, that prospect would get me excited too lol

They’re welcome to scream in to the void until they’re blue in the face, I won’t be listening 😂

On the only hand that matters - ableists get blocked and reported.

I don’t know, don’t think it matters, just substitute delete for block and it works… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nowhere is it even implied that community on its own will stop capitalism, but without it you will achieve no meaningful change.

Like, who the fuck do you think you’re going to be toppling the government and doing socialism with? How the fuck do you think you get people today to understand the value of doing that? How do you gather enough human mass to enact it?

I’m all for a violent abolition of our existing establishments, but this hostility that seems to be coming out of people towards the mere suggestion of the importance of community building is really odd…

You will never get anywhere without a community.

Well, I suppose bending over for a couple of dictators to fuck you (but more importantly, your people, and then who ever those two decide to invade next) is a kind of posture… 🙄

I would whole heartedly agree. It is the core we must build from.

That’s a lot of words to say “I see no value in community” (which is all the post is suggesting, what you get defensive about and why is for you to resolve with yourself)

Edit, because obviously this isn’t clear to some: without a community, and alternative communal structures to fall back on, the current structures can not be abolished and a revolution will never be successful.
