Maybe if you spent more time on your GRINDSET you would be in the alpha world not the gamma world

Is this a bit? Are you doing a bit?

seeing as you are an admin of a tankie instance i can see my worlds wont even be READ by you

Instance rules for lemmydbzer0com:

instead maybe read the GULAG ARCHIPELAGO as you are perpetuating tankie lies

Solzhenitsyn was an anti-semite[1] and Nazi sympathizer[2], and Gulag Archipelago was anticommunist fanfic[3].

Go 👏 Back 👏 To 👏 Reddit, because we’re not going to leave the platform we created.

He used to try to get .world to defederate from .ml.
He still do, but he used to, too.

It’s a bit of irony, really, that Stalin would name his state ideology “Marxist-Leninism”, esp. as he lost in the power struggle to Stalin.

Assuming you meant that Lenin lost to Stalin, he lost power by suffering several grave ailments—including three strokes—for several years and then dying. He became physically & mentally unequipped to lead.

Marxist-Leninism is a misnomer since it seems to betray both Leninism and Marxism

This is a common belief among Western leftists, including most Western Marxists[1][2].
As some of us say—tongue in cheek—ultras fear the scroll.

I have yet to understand why people are MLs today other than as a kind of pragmatic alignment against Western imperialist powers

That’s not the whole of it by any means, but imperialism vs anti-imperialism has been the primary contradiction of the last 150+ years of capitalism, and likely will continue to be in the coming decades.

I don’t understand the ML love of contemporary Russia

That’s because we don’t “love” contemporary Russia, nor do we think that it’s in any way socialist:

You’ve been on Lemmy for over a year and you’re surprised?

The time—that we’ve long-known would come—has come.

^{P\ ≠\ NP}

Have you been living under a rock for the last twenty years? Hardly anyone in the fediverse supports neoliberalism; it’s a zombie ideology. Even Fukuyama has acknowledged the end of the end of history. The only “freedom” it provided was to the capitalist class of the imperial core.

Why did you even join Lemmy, and why don’t you go back to Reddit & r/neoliberal? Previously: r/neoliberal was created by a neoliberal think tank » BPR Interviews: The Neoliberal Project

That’s because they weren’t. This hasbara was put to bed over a year ago. There is literally zero evidence.

Also, the modlog shows you denying the Palestinian genocide, so STFU and GTFO, Zionist.

I wished I’d experienced nuclear Gandhi when I played this back in the ’90s.

She could have voted for an amendment to kick puppies and then voted against the bill and thus ultimately voted against kicking puppies. You don’t seem to understand how bills and amendments work.

No u don’t seem to. If she knew a bill was ultimately going to pass, then why wouldn’t she vote against a puppy kicking amendment? At best she would have saved puppies from getting kicked, and at worst she would have demonstrated to the electorate that she’s against kicking puppies.

It doesn’t matter whether the amendment had a chance of passing nor what MTG’s motivations were in introducing it. AOC still voted against blocking military aid to Israel.

And the amendment didn’t say anything nutty or conspiratorial. It was a simple deletion: “An amendment numbered 114 printed in Part A of House Report 119-199 to strike funding for the Israeli Cooperative Programs.” However MTG spun it is immaterial.

But how can he be a fascist when he says he’s “Vaguely Left-Wing.” /s

Those words predate the Holocaust by centuries. It’s been a common English phrase since forever. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/to_each_his_own

I’m familiar with this person’s moderation behavior. They’re a Zionist.

Previously:

The bill removed “offensive” weapons, but left in “defensive” weapons. The distinction is meaningless; defensive weapon systems allow Israel to continue to prosecute it’s genocide without other countries (notably Iran) being able to act against them, so it still enables genocide.

Agreed.

If she votes against the bill: AOC opposes cutting military aid to Israel!

If she votes for the bill: AOC voted to keep sending weapons to Israel!

No. There were two distinct votes at play here.

The first vote, for which she voted nay, was to amend the bill, removing the sending of weapons to Israel.
The last vote, for which she voted nay, was to pass the bill itself.

At issue here is the first vote only.

This yearly military budget bill always gets passed, without exception, which AOC knows. She knew that, in the end, the bill would get passed despite her nay vote. That being the case, why did she vote against removing military aid to Israel?

Previously:

All she had to do was what Al Green (D), Marjorie Taylor Greene R), Summer Lee (D), Thomas Massie R), Ilhan Omar (D), and, Rashida Tlaib (D) did: Vote yes on the amendment and no on the bill.

Do you think the photo is fake, the police & AOC’s campaign manager are lying, or The Guardian is fake news?
