Recently got banned from lemmy.worlds latestagecapitalism because one of their mods doesn’t know the difference between being anti capitalist and anti democratic.

I’m getting real tired of leftists calling everyone right of them liberals just like maga calls everyone left of them libtards.

Like I want to get rid of capitalism but I’m not going to support accelerationists that consider their fellow working class members as expendable. I reject the notion that everyone who isn’t chomping at the bit to start a civil war (that will put the most vulnerable people of our society in serious danger) is a “liberal in lockstep with fascism”. That’s a sociopathic mentality.

People born in democracies need to turn over their dirty diaper politicians regularly. That’s how we move society towards socialism while avoiding throwing out the baby with the bath water.

    yes this is a pro democracy community

    as in raw democracy; everyone should communally decide their society

    however i the moderator have some beliefs that everyone would probably pick the same kind of thing if they were putting their minds to thinking about the best ways to live, and so i end up arguing for what is my own opinion on this matter as though it were best for everyone which i think it is, but i would like to essentially voice it then put it up for “the communal vote” in terms of loose general acceptance, so im not really driving a hard bargain but i do sound dictatorial at times probably and this is also a sort of semihumor of mine. im just being blunt basically. anyway, i certainly intend to in general turn this site over mostly to its participants, so fire away with whatever this site means to you. i make a lot of sites. theres a general theme of protecting the world and of using literature in new, blunt ways. i often seek to counter physical warfare with literature, which must basically be made very hard to compete with that. perhaps words can deter war! must be hard words; maybe. i have a many-panged political system. i think everyone should learn more about world history and take a sort of communal policing approach, as a starter for reversing the ills of the past. beyond that i think people should learn, enjoy, and enable science more and better. and i could/can/will explain more about what i mean by this but basically i think our ability to discover and invent is our greatest gift, and this should be focused on, rather than so many proclivities that are just sort of habit run wild at this point over much time. our lives are precious; we should reform the system right now.

      Cool.

      Lately I’ve been feeling rather disenfranchised by the edge lords on the left. I teach martial arts and deal with violence as a profession. I find their attitude naive and kind of disgusting. I have sympathy for people who’ve lost their family to the system but to expect other people to endanger their loved ones, and “other” them for not wanting to do so is not going to fix things.
