Communists? Nah, not a problem. I mean I’m a Star Trek fan, and while it’s not played up that much the Federation is a post-scarcity socialist-adjacent society. I’m all for everyone having their basic needs met without condition or obligation, and money being obsolete.
Tankies though can fuck right off. North Korea is not a bastion of democracy. China is not more free than the US. This is not difficult to see.
Star Trek is fully automatic gay space communism.
It’s not socialist adjacent.
Aye I wish belived that capitalism created a fair society. Seems more comfy.
In my experience, the point of leftism is to bring more power to the average citizen. What about that do you disagree with?
Communism =/= leftism. It’s an extreme form of socialism.
My biggest problem isn’t even the communist ideals. Have your ideas, that’s fine. I don’t care.
My problem is the amount of people coming into post comments attacking American Imperialism® on posts that aren’t even related to communist ideals or, sometimes, that don’t even mention America. It gets tiring reading how much America sucks when that’s not even the point of the post.
Not op, but I’d guess it’s probably the part where you start murdering people and removing their basic freedoms.

Excellent rebuttal! Thank you for adhering to the communist ways and letting libs live for free in your head.
I needed a rebuttal for this? I thought just writing something is enough. I have more important things to do in life. I can’t write against all liberal bullshit, I wouldn’t get happy anymore.
I don’t mind seeing communist content, it’s better than the shit that I was seeing on Reddit’s front page before I left it. At least communists aren’t spewing hatred against people based on their skin colour, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other things that people can’t control.
Although the centrists and leftists still hate each other, Lemmy is just a nicer place in general due to the lack of far-right horse shit.
I dont have a problem with commies bc they are people that want good but we just disagree on how it should be achieved. Tankies on the other hand are basically nazis but they support stalin and not hitler.
