I know, no need to worry. My comment didn’t portray Bernie as some anticapitalist Jesus who can single-handedly force a revolution if that needed clarification

It’s an interesting ending to an otherwise fine comment. Bernie would slide the US towards liberal democracy, further from fascism

Always the same map

That’s part of the irony

Not the commenter but tbh some see it as a continuation of Lenin’s ideology which broke away from Marxist lines

Lenin started something like a reactionary coup of the concept, forming into a fundamental shift. Sure it can be explained by the situation if one wants to have justification for it

While Lenin claimed to apply Marxism, he introduced significant changes to diverge from Marx’s vision.

That’s very true but Lemmy will call that being lib

Fascists masquerading as communism doesn’t count

It seems the libs were left out. Auth-conservative Macron chose to continue as is

Exactly, we should assume that any international representation is not transparent

Blading. Trump could’ve easily razored his own ear open like wrestlers do.

Sad and yet not surprising as the external influence achieved the shift to the right

Lurking this thread and chiming in, but I don’t know. Is it because of accelerationism? A faster collapse is quite harmful to many

I’m sorry this instance has problematic relationships with some capitalist overlords being favoured but you are correct.

I’ll try to see if I catch examples happening

Sources like The Guardian, Reuters, Telegraph, CNN, BBC are sometimes allowed and sometimes removed on rule 1.

The latter case is usually evident while lurking and finding a deep long comment thread. Sometimes one user there has deleted messages and there’s another’s rule 3 content comments left. Apparently these cases seem to usually be mutual rule 3 but it looks like they’re treated differently.

It is somewhat opaque how sometimes the rules apply and sometimes they don’t, like news sources on rule 1, and iirc rule 3 in general. Deleting content should have the mod informing the user and the rest community what happened and have a way for the users to manage mistakes, be it either accidental rule breaks by the user or wrongful modding.

So was Russia and it was supposed to be untouchable. Now they’re in a war economy and losing resources

Maybe it’s like a “takes one to know one” situation, as both the USA and China meddle in the Middle-East and Africa with an infantilizing attitude.

Good ideas. Blocking actually only hides content from the user, it doesn’t lead to admin action.

I’ve joined this instance because of the rules and the communist lean

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.

Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.

However it’s clear that the worldnews modding rotten. Fascist/xenophobic/antisemite users have their posts alive while those who call them out get hidden or even banned.

As it is the main news community of the instance, I understand how it can be seen as an instance issue instead of user preference to use some smaller community.
