Understanding Siege Socialism - Gabriel Rockhill joins to talk about a controversial concept for Western socialists: “siege socialism”. A term coined by the great Michael Parenti.
I know what it means. “Authoritarian” countries are whichever countries the imperial core oligarchies want to regime change this week, so they can neocolonize them, keep them subservient & underdeveloped, and loot them. It’s whichever countries are on the Council on Foreign Relations’ shit list this week. It’s a bullshit category, strictly for the purposes of manufacturing consent.
“authoritarian” is a buzz word that left-liberals like yourself use to attack any country that has successful left-economic programs. Whether you realize it or not, you have been trained to deploy this label in defense of US empire.

Not how I’m using it here, which is a direct comment on how a Lemmy instance is run. If you want to pretend the tankie triad aren’t authoritarian then you’re too stupid to discuss anything with, honestly

No, I haven’t, I’m one of the filthy socialists who argue in favor of many of the ideas of those regimes. You just see someone pointing out the bad of the tankie triad and make assumptions that I’m not firmly on the left and just disgusted by how high they are on the compass compared to me
That “ideology” is authoritarianism
Spamming links with quotes that are unrelated?
The point was that the tankie triad are authoritarian, that’s just a fact
What did the “authoritarian” Lemmy instances do, make you eat your spinach? 😂

“Lemmy.ml is authoritarian because one time I got a month long ban.” It seems you get a lot of bans on a lot of instances. Maybe the problem is you.
