  • Drag would like to make one distinction relevant to your comment. Marxist-Leninists aren’t Marxists. They have many points of disagreement. Most notably, Marxists believe in a worldwide revolution, while MLs believe in communism in one country. Drag has no problem with Marxists. Only with MLs.

    Marxism-Leninism was created by Stalin. Drag thinks he did a bad job interpreting Marx’s ideas. Drag only has a problem with Stalinists. Drag is a communist. Drag gets along with syndicalists, mutualists, demsocs, soulists, even georgists. Drag can name many variants of communism drag has no problem with. Drag has a problem with Stalinists.



  • It’s not reasonable to expect communist countries to get social issues right on the first try and attach their failure to do so to their economic organization.

    Drag doesn’t attach it to their economics. Drag attaches it to their beaurocracy. The USSR put too much power in the hands of the government. Anarchists wouldn’t have made being gay illegal. Drag’s complaint with tankies isn’t about economics, it’s about big vs small government.

    It also seems to drag that even neoliberals have managed a tiny amount of personal growth over the last hundred years. Nutomic hasn’t. He’s a dinosaur. Drag sees a trend that marxist-leninists haven’t changed much in the last 50 years. The way they defend modern Russia, sometimes it feels like they haven’t noticed the Berlin Wall fell. We need a communist theory for the 21st century, not the 19th.





  • If you want to get to know someone, the best way is to treat them like a person. And drag would think getting to know somebody is the best way to find out who they are; drag, or someone else. Drag doesn’t think anybody has actually tried to find the truth.

    Lemmy is supicious that drag’s friends don’t use Lemmy very often, and mostly just comment whenever drag is upset. Would you want to use Lemmy if your main experience with it was your friend crying because someone misgendered them? When you think of drag’s friends as people, their actions make a lot more sense.


  • These immediate reactionary posts, were they directed at various different people? Drag has been in drama and conflict with a lot of people on Lemmy. So if drag made the posts, it would make sense for them to be directed at all the people drag has had a lot of conflict with: spujb, Flying Squid, Pug Jesus…

    Or, was the alt-account harassment all directed at a single user, and all at a time when that user had something to gain from playing the victim? Because if that’s the case, it seems like maybe that particular user is somehow linked to the cause of the harassment.
