    Where is anyone talking about communism?

    Lemmygrad.ml, I assume? I dunno if it’s “propaganda,” though, mainly because I haven’t really seen much from that instance. It isn’t defederated or anything; it just apparently isn’t popular enough to show up in Active/Hot/Top.

        That and conveniently ignoring any negatives involving China/Russia.

        There are a few users on Lemmy.ml who I see all over the place. Half their posts will just be funny “lol capitalism sucks, amirite?” memes and the other half will be “Look at how China is ushering the world into a golden age of social and economic progress” or “When will the west acknowledge Ukraine’s Nazi problem?”

            I think people also conflate social democracy with socialism, and/or communism.

            And communism with Stalins dictatorship (and Xi etc etc).

            The ideas behind the ideologies are all interesting but only democracy have proven “not horribly killing a large part of the population and a large part of the neighbour population” like all the time

            So for me anyways, it’s full democracy, then tack on socialism (for example).

            I think the discussion about democracy is also largely non present, I mean how fun is it if other people just decide what they want and you can like object every X Years?

            We got democracy 0.1 let’s move forward!

            it’s kind of like how USSR/Russia was seen bad because of communism, and now since 1991 they are not communist so they are the good guys.

            It is the same freaking country, they just embraced fascism over communism in the last 3 decades.
