A small instance where members vote on decisions regarding the instance. Haven't really had to vote on anything though cause it's so small and not a lot to vote on. But it's nice it's there for if we do need it.

They've defederated from a bunch for no reason including lemmyunchained.net which is what I use. But I still see posts, why is that?

Green is science, yellow is history, blue is English, math is red

I had to lay down ground rules cause my gf bites me so much

I may be an anarchist, but I can admit Marx has some banger quotes.

Rosa Luxemburg was based as hell. And that's coming from an anarchist.

Redditors think they're better than everyone else. Lemmy users think they're better than Redditors and everyone else. Lemmy users are one step higher on the superiority complex totem pole

Maine mentioned!

They have what are called power swords. Which are conventional swords that can be sheathed in an energy field. So basically a lightsaber if the laser surrounded a regular sword

Mobile Suit Gundam is rated pg13 and features nudity, genocide, fascism, conscripted child soldiers, and plenty of adult themes. Age ratings don't mean anything. And you also don't need an R rating for something to be serious or targeted to adults

And 40k has fungus space orcs that speak in cockney accents and have the power of belief. And yet still manages to have both really goofy stories, and very serious stories. The Ahriman Omnibus being a really serious story, and the infinite and the divine being a goofy story. Both being within the same universe, but two entirely different tones

What don't get is why people think something like star wars can't have different tones. It's a big universe with a big story. Just because the originals were these scifi epics doesn't mean a different story set in the universe can't be grounded and dark. Like how 40k can be really goofy and stupid but also really serious and gritty. It depends on the specific story being told within the setting. Not the setting as a whole

What instances are doing that?

Needs more content. Personally I'd like video hosting (i know thats a big ask). And some way to make instances less confusing for newcomers.

I'll say it once and I'll say it again. Even the father of capitalism thought landlords were parasitic leeches on the economy. Even the father of capitalism hated landlords

Ignorance is bliss

Viva la anarquia! Fuck off you red fash

Even the father of capitalism thought landlords were parasites that only leeched off the economy

The Rojava Revolution in Syria, and the Zapatistas in Mexico seem to be promising. Not saying you should sign up for them or anything lol. But they are certainly worth looking at and learning from. Communism is experimental, and it's important to look at attempts at it and learn from their mistakes and successes.

I have issue with Marx's theories, particularly the idea we have to transition to communism. No government will freely give up its power, it's too likely to become corrupted. Which is why I focus on anarchist theory. Granted Pannekoek and Luxemburg are Marxists, I find their takes on Marxism to be much better
