I am also unhappy about what the main lemmy instance is doing.

What are your thoughts?

    Yes I think he does not realize himself that some of his expressed believes are dangerously close to eco-fascism.

    In general I recommend you to take a step back and reconsider if your ideological leanings are not making you see some ML ideas as worse then they are. After all they have been the dominant leftist group for a long time and thus attracted some questionable people as well as very detailed anti-authoritarian criticism.

    Anticiv ideas on the other hand are not well explored in detail at all and most leftist thinkers opposed to the ideas did not spend considerable effort into criticizing them, hence it is easy to live in a positive anticiv bubble pretending that there are no inherently very problematic ideas contained in it.

      You mean like Lenin? It’s not “some”, it’s the majority, and it’s their leaders.

        Yes for example Lenin (who was basically a counter-revolutionary as explained in Emma Goldman’s book on the topic). But today’s Marxist-Leninists are not all hardcore Lenin fanboys; it is a diverse group of people with different ideas and some misconceptions due to a long history of Soviet Union propaganda.

          And then most tankies when I call them tankies:

          Please call us something-Lenin. …but sure, Lenin isn’t among their masters. I don’t buy into this.
