      A lot of the communities I frequent have “no tankies allowed” listed clearly in the rules. It’s not that all of lemmy likes them it’s just that we haven’t decided to purge them, yet, given the ideology of a decentralized network of federated content feeds.

      On the flipside, the American exceptionalism on the Lemmys is par for the course…

                By definition a communist society is stateless, moneyless, and classless. Non of which China has achieved.

                    None of which any state which has nominally aspired toward Communism has achieved. There have been no Communist states. There have been states which have claimed, perhaps earnestly, that they are trying to transition to Communism. There can be no Communist state, it’s a contradiction of terms.

                China isn’t communist. China is a capitalist dictatorship with one man at the top, a few people taking decisions and raking in all the profits and everyone else wage slaving away. Tell me what it reminds you
