We averted overt fascism a la the Business Plot

You're describing one group of bourgeoisie resisting a takeover by a different group of bourgeoisie. This is not a meaningful resistance to capitalism, this is the maintenance of a capitalist state.

Who are you talking about? AOC? If your definition of a democratic socialist is a left-leaning Democrat then it is thoroughly incompatible with mine, because I would require at a minimum that anybody classified as any kind of "socialist" be staunchly opposed to Capital.

Today is September 3, 2023 and Joseph Stalin saved the world from fascism.

IDK what country you're from, but in America at least, a democratic socialist has about as much likelihood of being elected to any given office as a communist does, so if you're looking for "realistic" policies you should look elsewhere.

the ideology Stalin made

I would say Lenin was more instrumental in the creation of Marxism-Leninism, Stalin was just the guy who happened to be in charge when they named it. It's also a tendency that has evolved a lot from what it was in the 40s.

I wonder if half the agita about this comes from not understanding how federation works. Federated lemmy instances behave almost like a single website, your posts are our posts and vice versa.

two words that are spelled exactly the same

Social and Socialism are not spelled the same, neither are Democracy and Democratic.

I simply said I supported democratic socialism

So you said that you support the regime of extreme global inequality against the third world in order to maintain treats in the first.

Which Communist regimes would say are the "real" communists? Because if you think (as many do) that every single mass movement that described itself as "communist" was bad, then I suspect you're not a communist at all.

I forget the exact numbers on this, but net worth correlates pretty strongly with happiness until about $200k and then the correlation drops off. If we were a rational society, we would make bringing everyone up to that level of economic comfort the goal and take away everything above that.

lotta suicide, lotta stochastic violence especially in the 90s.

It’d be lovely if you could just see the hexbear powerusers somewhere convenient and mass block.

If you go to our megathread, most of the people tagged in the first comment are our most active users.

idk if there's a tool to mass block them, seems like it would be a pain to go through them all but you do you.

I think individual blocking of entire lemmy instances is a planned feature, just got to wait for it.

You misunderstand. When liberals violently overthrow the aristocracy, that's a liberation movement. When socialists violently overthrow the capitalists, that's authoritarian tankie red fascism.

Imagine if instead of VOIP we used TOIP (telegraph over IP)

B&W 1&2 were legendary games! Definitely worth downloading and playing even today.
