Lemmy is always going to lean more radical than other platforms. Not only is the lead dev a Communist, but to pick Lemmy over Reddit is an ideological choice to begin with. There is an ideological barrier to entry, and this won’t change until Reddit goes under.

Landlordism is parasitic. The point of Leftism isn’t to attack individuals, but structures, and replace them with better ones. Trying to morally justify singular landlords ignores the key of the Leftist critique and simplifies it to sloganeering.

I asked you clarification on an absurd claim, and you called me dumb and claimed I’m sealioning. Why make the claim in the first place?

So you just make.claims and can’t justify or prove them? Strange.

It doesn’t seem pretty clear at all, can you explain that?

Then you’ll be lumped in with the fates of others who onpy wanted to endlessly critique society and not actually change it; forgotten.

A revolutionary party that focuses on getting people elected is the opposite of a revolutionary party. The purpose of a revolutionary party is revolution, ie organizing the working class so that it can carry out a revolution.

I suggest reading my introductory Marxist reading list. Without theory, it’s easy to come to incorrect conclusions.

That is one useful motivator, that can be combined with Socialist and Communist theory of organization to actually successfully overthrow and replace the previous system.

Then I don’t see why you are disagreeing with @sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml here.

What kind of pivot is this? What are you trying to accomplish, here? I asked you a question, if you can’t answer that and instead respond with rudeness, then why would I ever answer what you ask?

Do you know why they do, and can counter their reasoning? Why do you call the PRC a “failed worker state” despite 95% approval ratings? I suggest you start with theory before trying to do something new with no foundation. I made an introductory Marxist reading list, if you’d like.

Revolution doesn’t mean throwing the entirety of past society away, but changing whose hands its in.

People have already hammered out those details, the most major arguments are on the basis of Anarchism or Marxism. OP didn’t invent anything, the answer lies in the past. PSL already exists, as does FRSO, what specifically is wrong with these where an entirely new party is necessary?

The French Revolution was a bourgeois revolution. It deposed the monarchy, but unlike what the Paris Commune tried to achieve, the Bourgeoisie became the new owners of the State. Proletarian Revolution needs organization and unity.

No. This platform is “rich bad.” It doesn’t present an alternative, it preserves existing systems that give rise to wealth disparity without tackling them and presenting an alternative.

If your only platform is uniting on hatred, and have no actual plans in place for improvement, you just become terrorists, rather than revolutionaries. Something being “easy” doesn’t mean it is effective. Lenin actually wrote about such a group, the Socialist Revolutionaries, in the article Revolutionary Adventurism. The SRs had taken to advocating assassination as it “transfers power from the elites to the masses” (something historically false) and declared that theory was bad, because it can get in the way of unity. Such directionless action ultimately doesn’t change anything.

Hating the Capitalists is well and good, but without a unified plan to replace them, the hate becomes the goal and nothing gets better. That’s why we can celebrate the death of this bozo while recognizing nothing will change because of it unless the workers get organized.

Only when combined with actual practical plans in place beforehand.

What do you mean “half of Hexbear is spambot farms?”

What do you mean?

No problem!
