tl;dr, you said I lacked an understanding of history, and didn't understand what I meant by authoritarian. I elaborated. I don't trust Marxist-Leninism due to numerous historical examples of their failings to cooperate with other anti-capitalists (I.E, killing them), and consistant human rights abuses.

Eh, generally not a fan of Parenti, as he gives far too much of a pass to authoritarian marxist-leninists regimes for my comfort.

Thanks for the going through the legwork to share the link, though.

They do, but the way the fediverse works is that if someone else on your instance hasn't already searched a community by pasting in its URL, it won't show up in a normal integrated search, as it wouldn't have federated to your instance (searching a community directly or subscribing initiates federation).

Lemmyverse doesn't have that limitation, it crawls every instance and creates a complete list of every community across all instances, making its search very valuable.

And look at Chile in 2019: https://itsgoingdown.org/submedia-presents-interrebellium-the-estallido-social/

They brought their authoritarian government to its knees with continued non violent (in the sense of lack of firearms) resistance combined with an effective general strike.

They ultimately failed because the liberal parts of the resistance fell for the reformist bait, but it demonstrated that you don't need violence to win if you're able to educate the movement that reform is a trap.

This is the correct response at this point.
