Is that why they cheer on authoritarian/dictatorial communism… we just need one good man/woman/AI in power, and all our problems will be solved. Then they dust off their hands after their thought triggers a tiny dopamine response (thereby confirming its truth), and they feel inspired to post another meme or to downvote a few people silly enough to engage with them by calling them libs or billionaires. 🤣
We probably shouldn’t feed them (and most definitely not after midnight…)
Communists here cheer on socialist countries and communist parties partially because they’ve made massive strides in democratizing their economies, bringing it under the people’s control. No socialist system in history has been so lopsided as to hinge entirely on one person, there are obviously leaders in socialist countries but they don’t have the kind of omnipotence nor omnipresence your comment implies.
I engaged early on on Lemmy.ml out of curiosity. There is definitely interesting theory and history, and some genuinely learned folks lurking. Unfortunately, that is rarely what we get to see.

Some of the performative types def seem to be in it so they can call each other comrades and feel part of a niche in group
