@DONTBANTHISACCOUNT Because Lemmy is Russian. and Kbin is Polish. And I dont like how either are behaving these days, but I guess the Polish are a little better.
Ye... idk 😶😐 n or get how someone might like and or support communism , like even if they support the idea on paper or the karl marx communist menefesto. Most ppl think 🤔 of communism as soviet union , china or north korea, vietnam , cuba ETC ... n 😭 none o' those countries are worth living in (IMHO). I mean they've no freedom n or democracy or hope of democratizing. Sure some countries are flawed democracies, even some in western Europe, n US also is another. But at least these countries have a potential to get to a Full Democracy status.
Like when I hear about communism, it makes me wanna throw up ... what's wrong with trying ( for any country) to be a democracy / act democratically towards the people n neighboring countries... (Meaning democracies working with/ or along side other democracies n trying to improve one another by different means )
shrug
As someone who was born in n during soviet union , I seriously 😒😳 don't get how anyone thinks communism is a good idea
I get the fact that evil powers picked up communism n twisted the idea to something else completely in some ways/aspects...
But ....
Big BUT; I'd love to see an example of one, just one flourishing communist country in the world RN or in the past. Cause I can give You a list of plenty of countries that turned to democracy n are doing somewhat OK considering what's happening with the world today. Or even in the past...
@DONTBANTHISACCOUNT Communism doesn't necessarily mean authoritarian, but the most well-known form of communism which institutes an oligarchy called the vanguard doesn't work and probably won't work. Communist policies that don't have things to do with governing structures have been integrated into various countries including the Norse.
