No money for tankie devs!
I simply cannot understand their aversion to the very valid argument of “The Soviet Union didn’t meet the criteria to be communist.”
It was the only moderately successful attempt apart from China.
It’s amusing how Lemmy has a meltdown over rimu and ptz but dessalines and co are just minor annoyances.
As awful as they are. And they are. Currently ml are content with running their echo chambers. Which is different from deploying obscure hidden systems of disenfranchisement. They would absolutely do it if they thought they could seriously get away with it. It is 100% within the ml authoritarian wheelhouse. See China et all.
That’s not to say they shouldn’t be getting more shit than they currently are. They should. One of the lead edgelord devs account is named for a brutal despot and revolutionary for instance. That had to be assassinated by his own people so they could be free. But most people are ignorant or uninformed regarding it. It’s not that significantly different from a right winger naming their account for Hitler or some other brutal despot. But it’s any day ending in Y on the fediverse.
Yep, well aware it’s not a 1:1 comparison. It just seems like being a narcissistic ideologue is a prerequisite for writing threadiverse software. If I had a nickel etc. Such a weird dynamic.
I’ve been told the China is a socialist utopia where everyone is equal and everything/everyone is free.
Heh that would be an absurd claim. That would be on par to claiming DSA are extremist and parasites. Neither are true. And yet you hear the former from them all the time.
I get that reference!
Stahlin is a protected class, you know.
Unrelated but “Sisu”, the movie about a man who suffered under USSR genocide in finland, was a pretty good action flick.
