Unlike the more massive social media or the real world where theres not many leftists and we are gladly more united Lemmy and its left leaning tendencies with the instances providing natural cult grouping tendencies. Add to that the matrix in groups there and we all seem to be making a thing out of how to anger each other. How to troll each other or annoy x or y instance.

I hate this.

Living in an extreme right wing nation I know no other anarchist. A few left wingers. Even the libs here are right wing extremists by the standards of a western nation. I hold dear any solidarity.

I support unions here even when everyone there is a religious fundamentalist who wants sharia law bc they still qantnto improve the conditions of the working class.

Many folks here, who again I don't have any hate for, I see intending these fights and dramas. Having the goal to be banned from x or y community or instance.

Why!?!?
What do you gain?
What is the desire here??

I have tried to talk to anarchists here, as I feel there is potentially something to it, but it always ends up with "read this and shut up libtard"-like posts. A shame, we should welcome different opinions and angles seing things, not always try to "convert" everyone to some very specific thing. IMO.

you have been pretty anti-communist every time we've intracted, on top of calling me a tankie. not surprised you're having trouble with people welcoming your different opinion

Oh I see, it is I who have to "welcome a different option".

Most of "communism" here on lemmy is either hardcore stalin/lenin/mao authoritarian ruling or it is some sort of workers dictatorship. What's not to criticise? And when you try to discuss you get downvoted and people act aggressively, or so I feel.

I also does not know what that has to do with anarchism?

reread my comment, not what I said. Maybe if you're less quick to call people tankies you might not get called a liberal in response.

I consider a workers dictatorship to be a lesser evil compared to the dictatorship of capital we live in currently.

To put it simply, anarchists want to abolish hierarchy, communists want to abolish private property. They overlap when you want both. Liberals tend to oppose dismantling both of those things.

Okay, like I'd love everyone getting together well, but I know it won't happen, but I can still try, and maybe make the world a little better.

Your ideas are absolutists, there is no possible gradation, and even taken one by one they are insane idea that has never worked, and you want both? How is that even going to work? No property, no rulers, I mean good luck with that.

It's just not possible to have a serious conversation here, so I wish you luck!

Cheers

Edit: well look at all that civilised discussion right here! Ah no? Only anonymous downvotes without any reason? Who would have thought...
