“Don’t tread on me (while I tread on EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING AROUND ME and make it my whole personality then screech about treading on me if you mention it)”
Or be like the guy in the projects near my house - “DON’T TREAD ON ME (unless it’s to subsidize my housing costs with government funding)”
Both have severe branding problems. Right-wing authoritarians stole the Gadsen flag, and left-wing authoritarians started governments and called it communism.
It always irks me when someone flies it along with a thin blue line flag. The true history and meaning of Gadsden flag is amazing and if most people knew it they would appreciate the flag too and not just see it as a redneck flag.
People who fly that flag now don’t want the gub’mint interfering in their lives…unless that gub’mint hates the same people they do, then it’s “tread on me harder, daddy!”
I just took a cursory glance at this Gadsen flag’s history and meaning, and it’s indeed removed from the bunch of wackos wanting to throw slurs around that co-opted it.
left-wing authoritarians started governments and called it communism
Tell me about it… It’s infuriating to be automatically associated with regimes that were just repressive hegemonies with a red facade; meanwhile, anti-authoritarian communist figures like Rosa Luxemburg are simply ignored, or worse, put into the same dirty bag.
Why can’t people just be more fair to an authoritarian regime that’s actively crushing democracy?
To all the tankies, China is fascist now. They aren’t redistributing wealth from billionaires to the people, they’re welcoming billionaires into their party with open arms. Not exactly the standard bearer for your glorious tankie revolution LOL.
Shut up and eat your Engels-Flakes, you’ve got only 5 Minutes before you have to get your Gulag-Train-Wagon to Lenin School. I can’t allow that you come late to class again and fail Che Guevarology!
A guy tried to report me to get me banned because I have a Classical Liberalism (right-wing Liberalism) community but he literally reported me to myself. Like… ???
Haha mad commies, go back to your fairyland utopia which will never work outside of theory. Keep downvoting from a society that would never be possible in your dogmatic system
There should be multiple tankies on the ground, or at least another trying to help the first one get up. While shitting all over themselves and blowing each other would also make it more realistic.
“stalinism” is not a real thing, it’s a word used by trots to refer to people who keep their ideology grounded in reality. I think you’re referring to Marxist Leninists, which I do accept in my circles since I am one.
They are. Those clowns would personally bend over and let Daddy Stalin blow out their assholes if he were still alive. Block them whenever you see them, don’t bother engaging with their ilk
Yeah, compared to Hexbears, Lemmygradians are pretty mild. Just look up any post about Taiwan on Lemmy (don’t use Lemmy.world for this as they have blocked hexbear.net), and observe how more than 90% of comments are by Hexbears.
