Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about “I can’t use muh slurs, this is awful.”

“The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media.” /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn’t far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they’re lying, they’re too stupid to figure out lemmy.

    Yeah, I agree, I don’t really see a lot of “left” in the position that Imperialist ethnostates are okay for some, but not for others.

    ML-tendencies have also historically been opposed to the goals of even the Marxist movements. Considering the way that the Bolsheviks removed power from the People, Soldier, and Worker’s Soviet to instead centralize into their own centralized “Soviet” organ of power. Or the reactionary, authoritarian and socially conservative policies pushed by the contemporary and often the historical CCP (though the history of Maoism is obviously complex).

      Yeah as someone who vacillates between demsoc and anarchism, I can’t see anything of value done by the MLs ever, and the only thing I really respect the Maoists for is taking care of their landlord infestation.

        When you look at their contributions to historical revolutions, their efforts often amount to counter-revolution. Russia, Ukraine & Spain among prime examples (when looking at the post-WW1 revolutions)
