Ok, “communists want to force their will upon everyone else which necessitates murder”

Are you happy?

am i correctly understanding that you believe that enforcing the law automatically necessitates killing people?

When the law declares that I have no freedom to choose what I do with my life, no freedom of movement and no private property, that isn't a law I am going to ever accept. So it necessitates violence against me, obviously.

‘communists want to kill everyone'

More like, "communists want to force their will upon everyone else which necessitates violence"

‘well maybe not all of them but the ones that dont will never succeed’

Duh? Communism requires property appropriation. How exactly do you steal property without violence?

‘well having laws means killing people’

That's you, not me.

Look, it's really simple.

You can't have communism unless everyone participates, and you can 100% guarantee not everyone will want to participate.

Therefore, either they are forced to participate, or it doesn't happen. There really isn't another option.

They just haven't been prodded sufficiently to spill what they really want post-revolution and how exactly they would accomplish it. If kumbaya is their plan, well, it isn't going to succeed.

🤦‍♂️

Literally just explained and demonstrated with an example of how communism inevitably requires violence, and that literally every communist would agree, but you just plug your ears and go lalala. Ok buddy.

Come back down to the real world. People don't want communism unless you force them into it under the barrel of a gun. Communism means my individual wants, needs, and property is decided by the will of the people, which in reality translates to the will of a few dozen elite Party members at the top of the scheme. I'm not an ant in a colony.

As someone whose family has been massacred by Stalin's repressions while every single possession was stolen, I'm going to go ahead and not join your cult. Thanks. I bet if it happened again, you'd be cheering in support.

How's that? Every time I've pressed a communist about how they will deal with non conformity should their revolution succeed, they eventually agree that the plan is to kill them.

So, can we extend that to any communist group as well then?

There's been plenty of discussion on defederation.

I propose we defederate no instance other than those with egregiously illegal content such as CP. Note that I know of no such instances.

As of the moment of this post, the only defederated instance is lemmygrad.ml, so voting Yea would refederate them. It's a genocide-denying Marxist instance.

I am thankful I found a non-ban-happy home where I can see opinions I may dislike.

Other than being hosted at the same ip as lemmy.ml
