I genuinely don't. I have engaged in multiple debates about this stuff in the past though. I also outlined a couple of my criticisms, so if you would like to address those instead of trying to be snarky, that would be welcome
You know, the beautiful thing about being centrist is that i come under fire from both sides of the political spectrum so at least there's some solidarity between me and you there - assuming you believe liberals to be on the left.
Lmao, go off then. It doesn't change that fact that the African-Americans are the reasons these words are so widespread. Everyone uses them!
You also seem to have a lot of time on your hands if you're going into the modlog to research my "bad behaviour" and deep into my posts and comments. I strongly suggest getting some hobbies that don't include wasting your time online.
If you left your ultra-white, ultra-left, and ultra-woke political echo chambers you'd learn that the terms dick-sucking and dick-riding comes from AAVE and is used frequently by the Black-American community. AAVE slang tends to mock the actions described in the insults and not those performing them.
I know all this because i actually interact with humans in the real world. I don't sit at my desk all day, arguing about fuck all on the internet while extending my cultural and moral values to individuals on the internet like Americans who don't know that words like "cunt" and "f*ggot" have meanings not tied to negative connotations outside the US do. This nuance is typically lost on the left and is why i identify as centrist nowadays.
I do think that the immigration processes need an overhaul, but this is one of the things i would describe as a necessary evil. I don't think America (or any developed country for that matter) would fare well if they were to make immigration and citizenship attainment a very easy process.
Would developed countries be able to control the potential security risks, increased labour markets, lower wages and housing scarcity that would occur as a result of massive migration from the third world? I personally don't think so.
Not only it is wrong from a historical point of view, but it also ignores current political conversations in which "Leftists/Communists" are used as a scare tactic.
Fair enough, i guess i also "fear" communism in a sense and believe that humanity must work to prevent ourselves from reaching such a state (at least the sort that is typical of it) but i don't think that's where much of the criticism on Lemmy stems from
I have a lot of criticisms, but I don't currently have the energy for a long debate. However, my main criticism is that Marxism is unnecessary as many good things have been achieved and can be achieved under a social democracy.
There's also the point on how Marxism is practically unachievable without collectivisation, which allows for the possibility of tyranny. Soft totalitarianism as i like to call it. It has gone wrong in the past and will probably continually do so.
