let the robots be and improve society to the point technology said it would. We re the most productive we’ve ever been in our entire history yet work more than any other time in history. We need work reform, not a robot genocide.

I am in agreement with you, but the problem is the work reform part is not forthcoming. The delivery robots didn't come with a helping of any kind of labor reform, whatsoever, and will not come with one either without some kind of violence to usher in the deal. The capitalist class would not allow it to happen any other way.

If you truly believe that it still makes 0 sense to use the violence against the robots who have 0 idea why they're being attacked and even when destroyed change nothing(because destroying these won't stop companies from making better more lethal versions).

When I said violence I don't mean against the robots (which you can damage but not commit violence against). It's just a computer on wheels. I meant that labor reform will involve violence between people in the labor class and the capital class. Our American history is full of examples of exactly this kind of thing happening between a protest labor movement and its countervailing force.

Is lemmy like the unofficial gathering place for commies? I see more commie garbage on here than reddit, which is saying something.

Where is the "commie garbage"?

People here are making valid complaints about the state of society.

Most people know that communism isn't the answer.

Mostly everyone who says taking someone else's property is okay if you feel they deserve it, or the seller deserves it. If you don't see a huge commie bent here, then I would assume it's because you are a commie or are commie-adjacent. For real, maybe I've just stumbled on the perfect mix, but I'm finding lemmy to be rife so far.

I don't think that's ok. Humans need their space, man.

I see a moderate and a left bent here. Both of those I vibe with, but the left isn't synonymous with communism or even marxism.

And there's also idealism, of course - there's plenty of that everywhere on the Internet.

My view of the left is that they want an infra that's more aligned with the EU or Scandanavia.

That's definitely not communism. NK is communist, and there are very few people who want NK.
