Fuck you reddit 2.0, took you long enough. Thanks though, we’ll stop seeing your crap posters pollute our comment section from now on.

90% of people we ban come from world. Very funny that they said they saw a rise of hate speech from our instance though considering the worlders we ban are fucking genocidal maniacs and fascists. You can check the modlog (it’s unfortunately federated), we are one of the tamest instances when it comes to banning people and deleting comments/posts.

For any worlder that was based and liked interacting with lemmygrad (you will notice we did not ban good faith participants), I recommend you make an account on a third-party instance that federates with us, like ml or ee until they also defederate from us because we have principles 🙃

Fuck israel, Palestine will be free a month from now mark my words 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

On top of that, for the worlders finally breathing free again now that the scary tankies are away, you think the USSR wasn’t communist or whatever. You base that on whatever you’ve been taught in school. We’ve read things. We’ve actually gone beyond whatever our high school teachers said and looked into the USSR for ourselves. If you’re not cowards you will debate us about communism and “totalitarian” regimes, we’ll wipe the floor with you. Bet you don’t even know where the world totalitarian comes from or who coined it without looking it up.

And we retain our perfect track record of not blocking real instances while you further isolate yourselves from anything that might cause you some amount of discomfort. Really good democracy you got going there where wannabe tech bros instance admins decide for you what you’re allowed to see, must be those liberal values I hear so much about.

      Waiting for you to reach a stage in your political education where you either realize the lib “humanitarian” concerns about the Soviets are manufactured out of rage over the colonized world rebelling or you revert to a bloodthirsty lib braying for palestinian blood.

      The humanitarian concerns you’re parroting are the same manufactured concerns brought up every time there has been a rebellion of colonized, enslaved and indigenous peoples since the Haitian slave revolt.

      Reactionaries create fantasies to justify why any resistance to capital should be crushed. Why there can surely be no good example to threaten the liberal model.

      There will never be successful implementation of socialism if that’s the kind of system we support.

      Sorry but that’s also a fairy tale. Socialism isn’t hard, surviving the reaction is.

      You think it’s hard to plan production and have an egalitarian distribution of resources? You’re saying 90% of human history is impossible.

      Tell me with a straight face that GOSPLAN or CYBERSYN would not be able produce consumer goods if they weren’t needed to produce ICBMs.

      GOSPLAN can smash the Third Reich, send the first men into space, build the first space stations, build thousands of ICBMs, erect tens millions of houses and eliminate homelessness but it can not run a Walmart?

      Lol, lmao.

      “Communist state” is oxymoronic. It was socialist, as socialism is the stage of transition toward stateless classless communism.

        Tbf you could call a proletarian state with a communist party at the helm a communist state, in as much as communism is the real movement to abolish the present state of things.

      it is not an ideal communist state.

      It doesn’t need to be “ideal”, that’s where the “critical” in “critical support” comes in.

      Is it that much to ask that we recognise the failures of what has come before?

      Where exactly are all these people who supposedly believe that the USSR and other socialist experiments are flawless and therefore above criticism? It’s almost like they only exist in your imagination.

      just because it was the most influential communist nation (socialist might be more accurate)

      Dude, shut the fuck up. The way communists use these words to describe affiliation, they are interchangeable, and no one is saying the USSR was a classless society (the other sense of communism).
