MODERATORS
The .ml stands for Marxist /Leninist.
Funny, communists always insist China isn't communist at all, so why would they care about it being criticized?
Tankies aren't that type of communist, that is, sane. Tankies are auth rights disguised as leftists.
Aren't tankies authoritarian leftists? What's "right" about them?
I love this.
Marx encouraged fascist dictatorships as a method to bring about the proletariat revolution.
And this is why dictators love the, "give me just a little more power and once it's secured I'll hand it all back to the people, pinky swear" schtick.
Source?
If you go by the origin of the division and their definitions, they certainly are right. Authoritarian gov means centralising power. People arguing for the Ancient Regime were also pushing better for the people rethoric.
Besides, they are supporting a state that is closest to a nazi state. russia.
I disagree, they're firmly authleft, the problem is "auth."
Being authoritarian about leftist ideals doesn't secretly make you right wing because "authoritarian = right wing." Leftism isn't "when good," you can have bad leftists and pretending otherwise is nothing more than delusion.
Potatoes potatoes.
Because the only stance that tankies actually hold is "America bad", to the degree that anyone that is an opponent of America must automatically be good and must be supported at all costs
The communists who say China isn't communist aren't the ones that go to bat for them.
I can think of at least 95M Communists who don't insist this.
But modern American leftists are increasingly in love with China, particularly with their HSR and Tech programs.
Also, Mali
Did the Lemmy developers register the name under the .ml TLD because they are such fans of Mali? Maybe but probably not.
Because the domains are literally free
