First, communism is a nebulous term that is used a lot of different ways by lots of different people. So I don’t think it’s meaningful to condemn or endorse without first defining what you mean. I would encourage you to be more specific about the ideology or political faction you are describing and you might get more support.
Second, don’t confuse Lemmy.ml with the rest of Lemmy. That place is weird and everyone who’s not a bootlicker gets banned, so it’s a very “special” group of people.
Usually people dislike the authoritarian communists.
They don't necessarily even hate communism. They hate the people that call themselves communist.
Yes, I'm talking about .lm and hexbear
ALL pro-communist online discourse is completely taken over by shills immediately….
there is no possible way that .ml or hexbear are genuinely trying to promote their ideology by being as toxic and hateful as possible to everyone, especially people who are interested in communism.
also, they don’t even meme right, they take some exaggerated facial expressions from a still from a mainstream 90’s movie, and the point is always “you’re sooo stupid, nah nah, nah nah”.
there’s no fucking way that grew organically… it’s a shill farm…
Yeah that’s what I was alluding to. Maybe I should have been a little more explicit but I think there’s a broader point here about how nebulous and contentious terms like this divide people unknowingly, when they may not even disagree on the underlying issues.
For example, anarchocommunists might feel criticized by this post, but I doubt that’s who OP had in mind.
