Aaaaaaand I just got banned from NOT one, NOT two, NOT three, but four Lemmy.ml communities. Is this a sign I have to start studying and reading up on theory?
Also, I know some Lemmy.ml mods is gonna say that "you wouldn't get banned from these communities had you read your theory!" like they're teachers demanding students to eat their meat before they can have their pudding (because how can you have your pudding when you don't eat your meat?)
Now I support the idea of socialism (I'm more of a market socialist), and I'm NOT against the idea of actually existing socialist countries (ie: China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos and the DPRK). That said, I think Lemmy.ml should be more open to different forms of socialism, as well as the Marxist Leninists who DOESN'T have to support Stalin (and his bureaucratic and polarizing practices while General Secretary of the CPSU) to support ML.
I am very bummed that I CAN'T respond in these communities - that said, I can subscribe to different versions of these communities that happened to be in different Lemmy instances (other than Lemmy.ml):
Socialism:

!actualsocialism101@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Privacy:
Memes:
Lemmy support:
Someone should make another Lemmy support community here in this instance
Well, although I find Marxism-Leninism to be interesting, I don't like how Stalin handled the USSR (especially the Communist Party, how it became bureaucratic when it should've been decentralized had Lenin appointed someone else to do his job after his death).
That position is against the rules of lemmy.ml and is a bannable offense.
Yeah - you can be a Marxist-Leninist AND not support Stalin's actions.
Brother, you're better off creating your own community or participating in other socialist oriented communities on the fediverse. I'm also a Marxist-Leninist but those guys don't accurately use theory and distort for all their petty agenda
They're more Marxist-Stalinists that anything else
Edit: See !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works for more on how bad that instance and it's two siblings are
I'm actually non-binary, and I prefer gender-neutral and feminine terms. Seriously!
The millions of deaths are what took the shine off ol' Joe for me. Call me old-fashioned.
Are you more of a council communist?
I'm communist-curious, at best.
So you're learning? If you want, I can point you to https://redsails.org/
Hi old-fashioned, I'm Dylan but you can call me DIlly!
