Really recommend the book “The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order: America and the World in the Free Market Era” by Gary Gerstle if you want to know more about what neoliberalism is and what the goals are/we’re and why it’s actively destroying the country.
It’s almost as if social media has only intensified tribalism by giving us two dimensional views of the people we interact with. Our in-group has a diverse set of reasonable ideas, whereas the outgroup is a brainwashed monolith of everything we hate.
I know I’ve even taken more extreme stances outwardly than I actually believed because I didn’t want to be outcast by my friend group.
Oddly enough when I became more comfortable to speak my mind in a non-threatening manor to those who trust me, I did get my close circle to show that they weren’t as extreme as the presented themselves either.
Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml are explicitly Marxist aligned. Lemmy.ml’s admins are Marxists, but for some reason insist that it isn’t a Marxist instance. Lemmy.world defederated from both Grad and Hexbear, because the Lemmy.world mods and admins are anti-Marxist.
Hexbear.net is anti-sectarian, so it has AnComms and Marxist-Leninists alike, with no infighting allowed. It probably has the largest number by quantity.
dbzer0 has many AnComms, though it’s explicitly a Piracy instance.
Lemmy.ml has Anarchist communities as well as the Solarpunk instance, but neither have the numbers of the other 2 instances listed.
as an instance? lemmy.dbzer0.com. I’m an ancom and used to be top mod of /r/anarchism for years. For communities we run /c/anarchism and /c/flippanarchy
I love that Lemmy thinks neoliberalism is “socialism”
I love that keyboard slacktivists think anything they don’t personally agree with is “neoliberalism.”

You are making a lot of assumptions about my knowledge (or lack thereof) on the subject as well as a sizeable one about your depth of knowledge on it.
How so? What assumption did I make? And is that different than how you are addressing me?

The internet (even pre-social media) is an exercise in group polarization, recursively and repeatedly.
100%

There’s plenty of actual socialist and communist communities though lol
If you say so. I can’t say I’ve ever run across one accidentally though.
Because you are on an instance that has defederated with many of the other ones where these types of posts originate.
Lemmy.world is defederated from the largest Marxist aligned instances.
Like which ones?
Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml are explicitly Marxist aligned. Lemmy.ml’s admins are Marxists, but for some reason insist that it isn’t a Marxist instance. Lemmy.world defederated from both Grad and Hexbear, because the Lemmy.world mods and admins are anti-Marxist.
What about anarcho-communist communities?
Hexbear.net is anti-sectarian, so it has AnComms and Marxist-Leninists alike, with no infighting allowed. It probably has the largest number by quantity.
dbzer0 has many AnComms, though it’s explicitly a Piracy instance.

Thank you
Actually we’re not an explicit piracy instance. We just run the piracy comm but I never planned it to primarily about piracy.
Oh, TIL. Thanks!

Oh, he did forget to add the comic cell for “replies to posts about socialism where socialism isn’t even socialist enough”.
You’re not socialist enough unless you are threatening to murder everyone that you think isn’t socialist enough.
