    This has less to do with liking capitalism than it does with self-avowed communists on the internet being insufferable.

      Exactly. I legitimately long for an actual leftist space which isn’t just edgy anti-western brain rot. I want to actually discuss theory and praxis and statecraft with people who can actually acknowledge that obsessive Chinese autocracy should be condemned as harshly as western imperialism. Unfortunately, my experience on Lemmy has once again demonstrated that this is impossible.

          You know, a place where people don’t unironically talk about shooting social democrats who won’t swear fealty to Stalin. Or who can acknowledge that China’s nearly complete lack of public trials is alarming.

          I feel like these should be super low bars, yet…

                Ah, I guess that’s why nobody ever talks about China’s objectively terrifying legal system on lemmygrad. I appreciate the clarification.

                  You can search their instance to see how they teach to deny and misdirect to something else. Or use capitalist apologia (“the system has raised people out of poverty”).

                  Communists who speak against totalitarianism get banned. They’re visible on the instance modlog.
