Lmao
Why do they list Hitler as their enemy, when their own selected Führer obviously idols him?

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the "ML" influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.
If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.
Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, upvoting good contributions and downvoting those of low-quality!
Rules
0. Only post socialist memes
That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)
1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here
Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.
2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such,
as well as condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.
3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.
That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).
4. No Bigotry.
The only dangerous minority is the rich.
5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.
(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention "Mantic Minotaur" when answering question 2)
6. Don't idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.
7. Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:
- Racism
- Sexism
- Queerphobia
- Ableism
- Classism
- Rape or assault
- Genocide/ethnic cleansing or (mass) deportations
- Fascism
- (National) chauvinism
- Orientalism
- Colonialism or Imperialism (and their neo- counterparts)
- Zionism
- Religious fundamentalism of any kind
(This is not a definitive list, the spirit of the other rules still counts! Eventual duplicates with other rules are for emphasis.)

You just gotta love how Richard Dawkins comes before Hitler, Stalin, and Mao...
"Yeah the guy brings facts to the table, can't have that, that's the worst, that's like worse than Hitler, man!"
well, just as bad as. these guys definitely hate sanger and mao worse than hitler, and they're both lower.
I thought Dawkins was a weird one put up there. He's a genius. Not even political.
fuck Dawkins too
Because? You're one of those guys who use the pinnacle of science in their hands to tell people about their dislike of actual scientists?
fucker's been busy spreading transphobia
... How? Seriously,
im not going to go into his Twitter account and look for it. he likened trans people to Rachel dolezal (or whatever the fuck her name was) and said people would be criticized for denying that trans people are what they identify as. "discuss" he said.
when people rightfully shit on him for implying that trans people are frauds like her, he weaseled out like every coward Schrodinger's bigot saying "i said 'discuss' academically" or some stupid shit as if that undoes his equation in the tweet.
he also said in another tweet that being trans is a choice with something like "some men choose to identify as women" and vice versa. he's stuck on chromosomes defining gender, which is unscientific.
then he wrote a column or some shit about it with chromosomes defining women, which is unscientific, and on his podcast he platformed a transphobe, didn't challenge her and even agreed with her.
like all transphobes he's lost the plot and has completely rejected the science on it.
Richard Dawkins disagrees with their little coloring book.
If you call yourself a "conservative" you're either a fascist or a liberal that just isn't quite there yet.
Don't forget: Satan is a Leftist
How is this list organized? It seems like they randomly wrote names down as it came to them.
It's a Wiki, so you can just pop in and add a bullet point however you like, assuming you have an account.
This probably was crafted by a small pool of die-hards who dropped a name on the list any time they found out someone existed who made them mad.
It's specifically Conservapedia. They once tried to make their own translation of the Bible because they thought existing ones were too liberal.

Edit: almost forgot. The guy who runs it is the son of anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly.
I clicked through to their article on Conservapedia because I was curious what they had to say about it and
Conservapedia, also known as "The Trusworthy [sic] Encyclopedia", is essentially an American-exceptionalist and dominionist group blog, disguised as a half-functioning wiki. The website was created by God-King Andrew Schlafly in 2006 because of his belief that Wikipedia is deceitfully riddled with "liberal bias" and “atheist bias,”[note 1] because apparently the best way to solve real or imagined bias is to create a website that is biased in an opposite way. The vast majority of articles go out of their way to blame pretty much everything negative on "liberals" (which they use as a catch-all snarl term for anyone and everyone who disagrees with them on just about any given issue — which happens to be everyone),
I have to say I find it kind of funny that a site calling itself "RationalWiki" would use language like this. I have my doubts that it is possible to violate Wikipedia's "encyclopedic tone" guideline any harder.
That was a fun fucking read. Amazing.
Talk about a fall from grace.
Richard Dawkins... Ahahahaha! Dude is BFF of conservative right winger Ayaan Hirsi Ali!
