Can't stop hallucinating about other instances even on .world huh

Yeah the left coalition in France is very loose. Not gonna be enough to stop the march of the far-right for long.

Buddy, national conservatism is the core component of fascism in a declining capitalist country, and inevitable under "social" liberalism.

At the rate it's going, what's going to realistically stop fascism in europe again? There isn't a socialist force to counter it like the USSR did last time, and we have yet to see a socialist revolution succeed in a place where capitalism has firmly taken root.

If anything, the neoliberal rot in former USSR since its overthrow seems to have put Russia in its own path to fascism. At least its interests are still aligned with the Global South I guess...

Maybe because it's the instance that hosts the largest pro fascist-coup gov community. Everything I've seen from it at least seems to enforce that stereotype

It's a strictly leftist instance lol (even more so than dbzer0), of course they'll ban liberals and other right-wingers (and your removed comments seem to be complaining about pronouns for some reason?)

Disagree about there not being good discussions on it; I regularly see the more interesting discussions on Lemmy on that instance, so long as you're acting in good faith.

It's exactly what its description says

You can go and ask Hexbear users themselves about it on their general megathread

Why do you feel the need to make this racist

The party currently in power who are funding a genocide right now and cracking down on protesters are leading the way to fascism just the same. Them pinkwashing it with rhetoric doesn't change that.

Love that they leave out Blender and Godot from the thumbnail lol

Also, Inkscape is great. Dunno why they're complaining about it.

Now can they stop being a NATO dog?

Ig we'll have to wait for Erdogan to fuck off for that to happen.

Always the same map

A bit surprising that "israel" didn't vote against it, but that would be a bit too on the nose I guess.

Moscow may be able to address the continent’s urgent security demands through arms sales that exceed Washington’s capacity

Happens when you deindustrialize your own country to crush working-class movements

Dang didn't realize that's what it was referencing

Chad behaviour

That's included in the "industrializing" part, no?

Under capitalism, industrialization and therefore "market domination" realistically means ignoring the laws meant to keep competition down.

Yeah, it's terrible how capitalists and their megacorps might not profit as much if that's happening...

(which it isn't these days btw; countries like the US and China violated bullshit british IP laws when industrializing, and they don't really need to do that once they are industrialized)

It's a tool that's often used for imperialism, so while it's not like it had "nothing to do with religion", pointing at it instead of class society is kinda putting the cart before the horse.

Like Alsephina said, it seems like you're still stuck in a religious mindset. The issue of religion will simultaneously be tackled by dealing with its root causes: class society and material conditions. As is what happened / is happening in socialist societies like the USSR, China, DPRK etc.

Palestine is being colonized for being a bridge between Asia and Africa, not for any "religious" reasons. Theodor Herzl, founder of the "zionism" was a racist colonizer who saw colonizing Palestine as bringing ‘civilization’ to ‘barbarians’ as the rest of Europe did when they were colonizing and enslaving Africa and Asia:

“We should there form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism. We should as a neutral State remain in contact with all Europe, which would have to guarantee our existence.” Source [II]

The difference now is that the US has been the de facto leader of the imperial core since WW2, no longer UK in Europe, hence the US being its main master.

Religions are a consequence of class society and a region's material conditions. Seeing anything entirely through the lens of religion is not very materialist.

Settler colonialism wasn't a religion last time I checked
