One of r/InterestingAsFuck’s rules is “No politics,” which a moderator for the subreddit told us is the reason it was removed.

A rule for arbitrarily deleting any post on an ill-defined idea that some topics are not political. Why even say such an unreasonable thing when you can just say supporting violence is against site-wide rules?

That is such a stupid rule, because everything is politics.

that's some literal communist thinking there mate.

[-] LePoisson@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think you know the definition of the words "literal" and "communism" if that's what you think.

[-] orrk@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

I guess the idea of material reality isn't part of communism, good to know.

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 1 points 3 weeks ago

i don’t know if you noticed what site you are on, most people here are at the very least friendly with the notion of communism even if you were right about this

[-] orrk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

they may be friendly with the notion of communism, but apparently don't know much about communist ideology, because according to dialectical materialism, yes everything is political, from where you work, what you have/use, the food on your plate, and even the thoughts you think are all inherently tied to politics as politics is the ordering of society, and society is a core and indispensable part of the human condition

And they aren't right, to be clear.

material conditions mean everything, every action you take, every opportunity you have, every thing you buy, literally all of it, is influenced by politics.

Politics is simply the organization of society, and as a human without society you have nothing, you would have to slave away for years just to make a standard no°2 pencil, and even that is influenced by politics because it takes a society to raise a person.

Can you list something non political?

You don’t think farming is political? O.o

I speak of the Platonic ideal of broccoli, please don't sully it with your crude materialism.

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz -1 points 3 weeks ago

Anarchism. Anarchism is just people working together to topple unjust states with violence if need be. No need for voting or governments or corporations to get involved.

[-] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Anarchism is literally a political philosophy. It's profoundly political.

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz -1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, but it's less political than everything else drag can think of
