My first months on Lemmy were spent on Lemmy.world, which was the biggest instance at the time. I had no experience with Hexbear because .world had defederated that instance. I sometimes saw it being described as a "tankie" instance, but it was nothing specific.

After I moved to .zip, I came across !games@hexbear.net, which seemed to be free from anything overtly political and reminded me of r/Gamingcirclejerk, so I subscribed to it and occasionally made comments related to gaming.

Today I made multiple comments to a post about an article on the STALKER game developers having removed the Soviet symbols and the Russian audio in the remastered edition of the game. I would argue that in the thread, there were no comments from me that could be construed by a reasonable person as defensive of Nazism, fascism, or even hinting at it. For example, in one of the comments, I linked a Ukrainian law that prohibits the use of Nazi symbols, though I highly advise looking through all my ten comments as to avoid any misunderstanding or false impressions.

Conversely, one comment posted by another user dismissed Holodomor as Nazi propaganda, which I reported, but a moderator of that community just ended up calling me out for that and taking no action, followed by them banning me.

The thread containing all of my untouched posts is still available via lemmy.zip. My comments are also available for viewing via my user page. They are not available on hexbear due to the ban.

All these states are universally impoverished and abusing basic human rights

As opposed to capitalist states, which are wealthy because a small handful of powerful people have extracted the value from everyone else, by abusing human rights.

capaitalism is a strawman invented by Marix. What those states are is liberal (not to be confused with what the media calls liberal today), which means they support freedoms "life, liberty, and property". Capaitalism is not the defining feature it is a derived feature from freedom of property. Liberal states are capitalist in pursuit of their freedom journey. Communism only allows freedoms if they don't conflict with their communism journey.

Despite your cliams, the average person in "capitalism" is much richer than in every other system.

Ah yes the wonderful "freedom of property", which means "the freedom of megacorps to buy up all the property, and overcharge you exorbitant fees to rent because you have no other option than to be homeless".

The capitalism endgame is that megacorps own everything, regular working class people own nothing.

Only the megacorps are actually free.

Blah blah, bad megacorps this, bad megacorps that... You know that cases of large corporations abusing power are exceptions and not indicative to the majority of the economy?

Except for the states that voted out the socialist systems in favor of the capitalism and everyone ther now lives in wealth and prosperity unheard during socialism.

If you had to live in socialist or communist state you'd crawl back to the capitalism within months.

Honestly the actual socialist states, the Scandinavian ones. Tend to be some of the happiest and highest rated on the planet. Consistently even. Generally the authoritarian ones regardless of where they pretend to be economically are often the worst.

Dude, Scandinavian states aren't socialist, they run on a capitalist economies. Who told you that they are? Where's the source of these claims?

Technically we are both correct. But you're still wrong. Not surprising since you cannot actually accurately describe what capitalism, socialism, or communism is.

[–] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That article describes basically every EU country. (High taxation, strong employee protections, benefits financed from taxes) You're conflating socialism with welfare state.

Real socialism existed between 1945 and 1989 in central EU and it was awful system, thankfully it's forever gone.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yep. Exactly what I predicted. You can't actually describe what any of them are. Simply repeating propaganda.

Enlighten me then
