Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml are explicitly Marxist aligned. Lemmy.ml’s admins are Marxists, but for some reason insist that it isn’t a Marxist instance. Lemmy.world defederated from both Grad and Hexbear, because the Lemmy.world mods and admins are anti-Marxist.
It’s almost as if social media has only intensified tribalism by giving us two dimensional views of the people we interact with. Our in-group has a diverse set of reasonable ideas, whereas the outgroup is a brainwashed monolith of everything we hate.
I know I’ve even taken more extreme stances outwardly than I actually believed because I didn’t want to be outcast by my friend group.
Oddly enough when I became more comfortable to speak my mind in a non-threatening manor to those who trust me, I did get my close circle to show that they weren’t as extreme as they presented themselves either.
Really recommend the book “The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order: America and the World in the Free Market Era” by Gary Gerstle if you want to know more about what neoliberalism is and what the goals are/were and why it’s actively destroying the country.
I love that Lemmy thinks neoliberalism is “socialism”
There’s plenty of actual socialist and communist communities though lol
If you say so. I can’t say I’ve ever run across one accidentally though.
Because you are on an instance that has defederated with many of the other ones where these types of posts originate.
Lemmy.world is defederated from the largest Marxist aligned instances.
Like which ones?

What about anarcho-communist communities?
I love that keyboard slacktivists think anything they don’t personally agree with is “neoliberalism.”

The internet (even pre-social media) is an exercise in group polarization, recursively and repeatedly.
100%

You are making a lot of assumptions about my knowledge (or lack thereof) on the subject as well as a sizeable one about your depth of knowledge on it.
How so? What assumption did I make? And is that different than how you are addressing me?
