I love that Lemmy thinks neoliberalism is "socialism"
You're not socialist enough unless you are threatening to murder everyone that you think isn't socialist enough.
There's plenty of actual socialist and communist communities though lol
If you say so. I can't say I've ever run across one accidentally though.
Lemmy.world is defederated from the largest Marxist aligned instances.
Because you are on an instance that has defederated with many of the other ones where these types of posts originate.
Like which ones?
Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml are explicitly Marxist aligned. Lemmy.ml's admins are Marxists, but for some reason insist that it isn't a Marxist instance. Lemmy.world defederated from both Grad and Hexbear, because the Lemmy.world mods and admins are anti-Marxist.
What about anarcho-communist communities?
as an instance? lemmy.dbzer0.com. I'm an ancom and used to be top mod of /r/anarchism for years. For communities we run /c/anarchism and /c/flippanarchy
Hexbear.net is anti-sectarian, so it has AnComms and Marxist-Leninists alike, with no infighting allowed. It probably has the largest number by quantity.
dbzer0 has many AnComms, though it's explicitly a Piracy instance.
Lemmy.ml has Anarchist communities as well as the Solarpunk instance, but neither have the numbers of the other 2 instances listed.
Actually we're not an explicit piracy instance. We just run the piracy comm but I never planned it to primarily about piracy.
Oh, TIL. Thanks!
Thank you
I love that keyboard slacktivists think anything they don’t personally agree with is “neoliberalism.”
Really recommend the book "The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order: America and the World in the Free Market Era" by Gary Gerstle if you want to know more about what neoliberalism is and what the goals are/were and why it's actively destroying the country.

Imo the neoliberal order was a response to the Civil Rights Era, a WORLDWIDE movement that gave ordinary citizens more rights and power than any other time in history. To disempower them, capitalism was weaponized to create neoliberal policies to make poor people stay poor, without capital, and thus powerless.
So sure, I personally dislike neoliberalism, but I have a good understanding of what it is as well, so you're criticism is invalid.
You are making a lot of assumptions about my knowledge (or lack thereof) on the subject as well as a sizeable one about your depth of knowledge on it.
How so? What assumption did I make? And is that different than how you are addressing me?
It's almost as if social media has only intensified tribalism by giving us two dimensional views of the people we interact with. Our in-group has a diverse set of reasonable ideas, whereas the outgroup is a brainwashed monolith of everything we hate.
The internet (even pre-social media) is an exercise in group polarization, recursively and repeatedly.
100%
I know I've even taken more extreme stances outwardly than I actually believed because I didn't want to be outcast by my friend group.
Oddly enough when I became more comfortable to speak my mind in a non-threatening manor to those who trust me, I did get my close circle to show that they weren't as extreme as they presented themselves either.
