No. Compast seems to have a few accounts.

Press X to doubt
Worth noting I didn't ban this guy
.zip admin had enough of his nonsense it seems
It is more like a tech comunity without unified political and social preferences as far as I know.
Thanks
Really makes you want to believe this is a joke that went above our heads.
Oh hey, it's the "Soviet Union had the best workers' rights" fella
Edit: seems that they're also very keen on Uyghur genocide denial, glad I blocked them before engaging in more arguments
Oh yes it definitely had, am I missing something?
I mean, there's the part where worker strikes were illegal until 80s, to start with. And the one-party government with pre-approved candidates.
Edit: ah, 1 day old "Marxist Leninist" account specifically made to defend the Soviets in bad faith. Totally not ban evasion, eh?
First you have wrong idea. Strikes arent the only aspect of worker rights. Soviet workers had rights like 40 hour work week, free healthcare, education, pensions, housing. USSR was already ruled by soviets i.e. worker council so they didnt need strikes. This stems from the fact that workers had real control on policy of the state and elections that were held altho only party put up candidates one could vote no to them and the candidate will be replaced, those candidates then went to supreme soviets and had real affect on policy (unlike the current western liberal democracy which leads to policies that benefits the rich). The turnouts in those elections used to be exceptionally high.
Under DoTP you dont need strikes in the modern sense because revolution has brought pro worker changes, sure there could be different perspectives regarding this and stuff could be done differently in future ML revolutions. As I said however strikes arent the only measure of worker rights. If you see yourself you would agree workers in USSR had better rights than workers even do today. After collapse of USSR, in all SSRs poverty increased, savings ended, unemployment skyrocket, life expectancy declined, income inequality increased, ethnic conflicts, oligarchic state capture, etc.
Worker rights in USSR were way better than what former SSRs have today. I am not defending USSR in bad faith, USSR had some important contribution to socialist development and it was just the first one, we learn and build better next time.
Edit: Not ban evasion because ban was from different instance, not community :D
Yeah buddy, you clearly need to read some more theory. And also maybe touch grass while you're at it.
Ive read most of the mainstream marxist leninist literature. What do you recommend?
Oh look. Compast got instance banned from lemmy.zip
And made a new account on .world not a day later lmao
It has boobs in it.
I can understand the fatigue linked to the overexposure to that book but at the same time it's a work of psychology not just politics. It explores how loneliness, fear, and the need for belonging can make a person betray their own senses.
So again while I understand it's annoying to always have to see that book mentioned, saying it's useless is a very bold statement.
At least that's how I remember the book.
I'm not your bro, buddeh. (Firstly, because I am non-binary and secondly tankies aren't comrades.)
I am not an anarchist. I am a Eurocom.
What's a eurocom? Never heard of that before
Eurocommunist, kind of a variant of democratic socialist.
Ah gotcha
There is nothing communist about democratic socialism, literally nothing
Aww cute. A ML thinks they know what communism is when ML state always did the opposite of communism always moved further and further away from it.
Can you elaborate? ML states were closest to socialism weve ever got. What other examples other than ML do you have in mind
Yeah right. State ownership and control through party elites is not socialism. It's just capitalism with extra steps. Yugoslavia was closer to socialism after it's break with the Soviet Union and actually turning stuff into worker owned workplace democracies mostly independent of state management.
And China absolutely moved even further away from socialism. Socialism shouldn't have people who earn 10,000 times more than others (see billionaires) for same or less work.
Rojava also was closer to socialism than ML states were.
Sure thing tankie.
Yes. Doesn't mean the book he wrote is bad or useless.
Also with this comment I bet I find authoritarian comments in your post history.
Edit: shit crop job.
1: you know this because he wrote an essay about realizing that being a colonial cop was making him racist and because of this he quit. you are being deliberately dumb here 2: marx 3: ok
He literally said that he would personally kill him tho
Big Savonarola's smell here.
"I don't like it so it's okay that it got banned."
Banning books is the act of sniveling fascists and if you support that or are indifferent to it, I have some bad news for you.
