Thank you, DragonTangram88, very cool.
Neo-Nazis use the number 88 as an abbreviation for the Nazi salute Heil Hitler. The letter H is eighth in the alphabet, whereby 88 becomes HH.
They’re only called Nazi if they come from the Nationalsozialismus region of Germany, otherwise they’re a sparkling fascist.
First you choose to be a wage slave and then you hate your bosses?
You've got things backwards: OP was banned first and then posted this drama in reaction. The post isn’t visible on lemmy.ml because OP is banned.
If you’ve never lived in a communist state you’re much more likely to favour communism. People who have (lived in communism) don’t.

Might want to lighten up on the amount of BS propaganda you’re consuming.
You misspelled promoting.
And it’s an ever-shifting construct to serve the ends of the powerful. The invention of whiteness: the long history of a dangerous idea
If Dessalines is receiving money from the Chinese or other fascist government to develop the Lemmy sourcecode
What kind of moldy McCarthyite garbage is this? If my Grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike.
Prioritizing tone policing over fascism policing is a bold move, mods.
😂 This kind of thing should be posted regularly as a neonazi honeypot sting operation.
Posting Cold War II propaganda seems to be a large part of OP’s job.
It may have come from a hole in the ground. It may have come from the Pentagon. It may have come little green men from Mars. What are you smoking?

I see no way this could possibly go wrong

Their 1 month old @MGN22@lemmy.ca alt account is no better.
Many people are saying
By that logic Europe’s and everyone else’s Russian oil & gas purchases are helping Russia’s war machine.
Edit to add: Russian Oil Is Once Again Trading Far Above the G-7’s Price Cap Everywhere
Communists believe that socialism is a transitional state from capitalism to communism, but 1) communists aren’t the only socialists and 2) a lot of Americans think milquetoast social safety net capitalist reformers like Bernie Sanders are socialists despite them never calling for the abolition of private ownership of the means of production.
I don’t really think you’ve captured communism: Cuba isn’t.
Communism has never yet been achieved, as any communist government will tell you. Socialism is a transitionary step toward communism. You can’t go to bed in a capitalist state and magically wake up to a classless, stateless society.
China has been moving away from communism for decades.
If you think that then you have not been paying attention to what’s been happening in China for the last decade.
Russia rejected the Communists for the Bolsheviks
The Bolsheviks were the communists! Come on. Maybe pick up Wikipedia or an even better wiki on the topic: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_the_Soviet_Union
It’s a troll that got kicked off of Reddit last week under the same username.
I checked the 12 most popular instances, and only lemmy.world and lemmynsfw.com seem to have ModId enabled, so perhaps the default config setting is to disable it. This is assuming that it’s a config thing at all, but the only other possibility would be that those two sites share forked code.
I've seen inter-Lemmy drama posts in this comm before, and the mods deleted them (or locked them—I don’t recall).
It's hard for me to believe the mods haven't seen this post. They've probably gotten multiple reports.
It seems they're making an exception this time.
I see. It look like it was added a year and a half ago: Add Modlog Filters #2313
It has nothing to do with money spent. One is active hatefully divisive propaganda infesting the minds of the country on a total scale.
I call this the cooties theory of ideas. If it were true, then why are billions of dollars spend on propaganda every year? Do they just like wasting money? Were Edward Bernays and Walter Lippmann just cranks? Does Russian meme technology have a secret sauce?
Your genocide assertion I won't touch because it's untouchable on lemmy.world.
Those states would agree that they have not achieved communism, and they would agree that they are authoritarian, namely the dictatorship of the proletariat. Lenin, 1917, The State and Revolution
If you’re really upset by it you can filter lemmy.ml which is gonna be the main source of left wing posting.
That's true for you, anyway, because your instance is defederated from lemmygrad and hexbear.
Not OP, but I’ll take a stab at it.
In your opinion, are worker cooperatives operating in a market economy socialist?
That’s not really how it works. The fundamental question is: is the state capitalist, meaning a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, or is it socialist, meaning a dictatorship of the proletariat? While you can have a worker coop in a capitalist state, you’d still fundamentally be under the boot of the capitalist class that controls the state at the expense of the working class.
And do you consider any countries today socialist?
That's what happens when the communists are purged and billions of propaganda dollars are spent over generations to erase their memory: you end up with Newspeak, where people don’t know their asses from their elbows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Scare
Filtering by “ModId” must also be a config option: lemmy.world’s modlog page has a “Filter by mod” drop-box, but lemmy.ml’s and lemmy.sdf.org’s don’t.
I thought we were all trying to get away from politics.
First of all, why would you think that? Second of all, everything is political so that is literally impossible. And third of all, only centrists who want things to stay exactly as they are, because they feel they are are benefiting from the status quo, ever say such things.
This whole post has been like a gish gallop DDoS attack.
What does lemmy.ml have to do with this !news@lemmy.world comment that got removed?
4.1. No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.
I’m simply quoting lemmy.ml's rule 1 in its entirety. I wrote "4" in error.
That’s not how Russian oligarchs originally became oligarchs. They did it the same way it’s always done in neolocolonized countries: by being compradors to predatory foreign states and capitalists.
I don't know what account of yours that was, so I guess I'll have to take your word for it, because it wasn't the account you're currently using.
There is a euphemism for dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, and it is bourgeois democracy.
