  • But over time I started recognizing a lot of the same usernames, and it really just hit me that you guys are some of the most empathetic and loving people I’ve come across on the internet […]

    Totally agree. I’ve been on Lemmygrad since before GenZedong was quarantined on Reddit. There were only a few of us, but I could immediately recognize a few other users when I made posts. Almost every conversation has been great here. It’s something I didn’t notice on any other centralized social network. And the fact that this community feels like an authentic community is also incredible.

    This might be a super sappy post, but you know what, I don’t care. Making the switch from Reddit to lemmygrad was the best social media decision I ever made […]

    While this may be a “sappy” post, I think these posts are necessary for people who use Lemmygrad to understand that it has an impact on the lives of other comrades. Many people come to this community for advice or just to vent. It’s something that would be impossible on Reddit because of the toxic nature and dark patterns that hide all the most successful social networks to succeed.










  • Catalonia was more of a “pay less taxes” independence way.

    It’s true. I mean, the Catalan bourgeoisie is the one promoting Catalan independence, and this only benefits them, not the Catalan working class. In the Basque Country, the Basque bourgeoisie prefers to promote nationalism. It’s the Basque left that has promoted this idea of independence from the Spanish state the most. This is because following the acts of ETA, a large part of Spain discriminated against the Basque Country. My dad, when he did his military service, was in fact forced to lie about where he lived in order to avoid problems.

    The “socialist party” I keep hearing in the news about I assume is PSOE which is socdem?

    Yeah, they’re socdems, pro-EU, TERFs, and populists. The current government has done decent things not thanks to the PSOE, but thanks to the government partners who are slightly more radical than them (Unidas Podemos + EH Bildu + ERC). Still, they are a geopolitical disaster. The PSOE refused to join China’s Silk Road yet, for example.

    Sorry for asking such rudimentary questions, I need some historic reads about the area to understand it better probably.

    Don’t worry! It’s okay. But bear in mind that I’m probably not the best person to explain the situation here, so take what I say with a grain of salt (mostly because I’m still learning and my analyses may be poorly developed).

    I assume the anti-independence protestors are fascists that want a Greater Spain or whatever as always.

    Yep, you’re absolutely right. It’s only the most reactionary and right-wing extremists in the country who are protesting. In fact, to no one’s surprise, many Francoist flags have been spotted during the demonstration.

    Is there a communist party with official information on this subject?

    You can read this opinion article written by PCTE Secretary General (Astor Garcia) on this issue: https://www-nuevo--rumbo-es.translate.goog/2023/11/15/gobierno-amnistia-y-estabilidad/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=es&_x_tr_pto=wapp
