I can't wait for Lemmy to get big enough that I can unsub from all the big Lemmies. On Reddit I had a bunch of niche communities that were pretty nice and not political. Now all those spammers I avoided have come here too and the Lemmies aren't big enough to avoid them yet.
The annoying thing is these people never see themselves as the insufferable bores always taking about local politics.
It's always really important.
It's always that you're a nazi if you don't agree.
It's just modern born-again Christians, who aren't knocking on your door, they're posting in your social Media.
Well, when you realize that most of the radical communists on here truly believe that there must be an eternal struggle working towards communism but never actually achieving the goal, it makes sense why they are the way they are.
Literally had one of them tell me that is beyond unrealistic to expect any state to be able to even implement Socialism to any real degree. Of course, in Marxism a Socialist state must exist before withering away as Communism is fully realized, so they will literally admit that their philosophy is impossible to achieve.
They fetishize the struggle; they don't actually want progress, they want to complain.
Not to agree with statism, but it sounds like you're combining the incompatible beliefs of two different people.
