Who is Lemmy to you? What would a ban look like to you?
Instances should ban other instances with heavy communist content and users that advertise the communist ideology, just like they're most likely doing to nazism and other harmful ideologies.
Like lemmy.world defederating from several tankie instances and the active discussion about defederating from additional communist instances?
Is that thing that is already happening the thing you want to happen or are there some additional things you want?
m2c: no one should get banned for sharing his ideas. There's a right to hate without exercising violence.
These are both ideologies that pray on the weak minded and on their life issues. Oddly they began in the same way, they both hate someone because they were wealthy while some in society were passing through difficulties. In case of nazis they hated on the jews, in case of communists they hate on everyone that has any money at all.
Even attempting to draw a parallel like that between race/ethnicity and material wealth is a fairly questionable take to most rational people I'd say, or at least hope.
They did it and with success. Sadly when people are having a hard time they will be always search for someone to blame, and that's why those populist nazis/communists/socialists/fascists come in.
They always blame the problems on a specific class of people, then they present themselves as the "solution".
Trump did the same with the mexicans, and it worked.
You may have misunderstood my comment; it was intended to suggest that I strongly question your values and priorities because you're attempting to equate something as innate as race with material wealth. I'd go further to say that your conflating communism and socialism with nazism and fascism is merely ideological drivel.
what the hell are you talking about? Victor d'Hupay was an aristocrat. John Goodwyn Barmby was a Chartist, one of whose literal tenets is "pay persons of modest means if they have to serve the interests of the nation". Thomas Moore was the Lord High Chancellor to Henry VIII. Charles Fourier was the equivalent of a millionaire at age 9. Marx was a lawyer. Engels was the son of a wealthy mill owners. William Morris was the son of what today we'd call a Wall Street fatcat. Kropotkin's family owned serfs.
Nearly everyone involved in suffrage movements started wealthy and observed the treatment of the poor and was moved to do something about it.
