They had no communist intentions to begin with. The benefits of communism are just an easy way to market any nefarious movement with anticommunist intentions

The core principles of communism are basically an antithesis of these authoritarians/totalitarians/autocratics/oligarchs (how ever you want to describe them). Such a shift isn’t accidental

Such a weird thing to do to pre-emptively defend against NATO expansion or whatever the excuse is

Wonder why getting ready is taking so long after the event

The ship is seen. It’s anchored just outside of the border of Denmark with 3 or 4 different navy vessels around it.

The boat didn’t do it.

And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

And if it is, that’s not China’s fault.

And if it was, they didn’t mean it.

And if they did, you deserved it.

Airport security doesn’t, customs do

Then we try to help ourselves

Fash power struggles just keep on keeping on

The bar for least

EU least horrible world power

The Don meeting the rest of the crime family. Is Putin or Xi the biggest godfather

Debates need multiple consenting participants, so arguing unprompted from out of nowhere is bound to gather annoyance

You seem to have the truest take. It just boils down emancipation. Leftist policies are liberal in nature, seeking freedom from the hierarchy of capitalism.

Most of the confusion seems to come from neoliberalism or market liberalism co-opting the term for conservative and authoritarian uses and now everyone is confused.

Leftists who need a distinction in the terms seem to fall into two categories; those who see liberals as reformists instead of revolutionaries (too moderate), and the false leftism of Lenin/Stalin etc sects who aim for an authoritarian model but without capitalism.

China’s foreign policy of “mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation”’

Trump enablers in leftist spaces are just agent provocateurs. There’s always some infiltrators

I know you’re joking but I’ll answer that it’s not a nice to sweat in warm clothing but have it cool down in skin-contact

It was supposed to be South Korean fake news to manufacture consent for invasion of NK

I haven’t thought about how that works.

If other instance users post on a problematic instance by accident or because there’s a useful community, I wouldn’t want those hidden.

Then again if it, preferably, only hides the users of the problematic instance, that doesn’t really solve the core issue of bad actors being enabled in the fediverse 🤔

Yeah could be a common misconception or a misdirection

Nah, doesn’t seem like that
