Further, even if admins are tankies...
Let's see, which economic system has consumed the entire world? Is it communism? Because last I checked, even "communist" China has a semi-capitalist market economy. Russia is capitalist. Everywhere is capitalist.
When leftists of all stripes barely have any control of anything in the world, why the fuck would I be so worried about them and their opinions? It's not like they're affecting things in a big way, no, leftists are mostly silenced. Especially in the US where the right-leaning milquetoast Democrats are offered up as "the left" which is a huge fucking joke.
To quote Nancy fucking Pelosi:
"We're capitalists, and that's just the way it is."
When there is a strong contingent of countries with leftist leaders emerging as strong nations that can economically compete with capitalist nations, then I'll start to fucking worry, and that's only if those leftists are actually violently dangerous.
Acting like the admins here on Lemmy are "dangerous" because of their political stances is the biggest fucking joke. I literally can't take it, it's such a fucking farce. These guys don't control shit except their own instance of Lemmy.
