Why admit you want to host a Nazi instance? Trump won't fuck you.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Oh I don’t. I just want to troll the hexbear people. Make it opposite of what they are. It’d be hilarious

[-] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago

The opposite of hexbears ideology would be Nazis, you want to run a Nazi site.

Man Canada needs to just be the US' 51st state. Birds of a feather and all that.

Exactly my point, I get the trolling aspect, but like... Seriously think about it for more then a moment lol.

A silly troll idea would be to do a non-hexigonal and non-bear related imagery lol.

I think the overwhelming majority of Hexbear users would rather the domain go to a silly joke troll like that than redirecting to something like a transphobic site.

I assume the op didn't mean fascism, but they just bought into the general narrative around Tankie on lemmy being bad lol

But yeah exactly

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

What? Isn’t it a tanker instance? The opposite is one rooted in western isms. Either that or I don’t know as much about hexbear as I thought

[-] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

Hexbear is Communist/Anarchist, the opposite would be fascist. That's the joke.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Hexbear is the tankiest of the triad.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

If "tankie" means Marxist-Leninist, then that's Lemmygrad.ml.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Wouldn’t the opposite of Hexbear’s ideology be actual Marxism?

What no theory does to a mfer

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

It’s a joke - sort of. After all you have people there who support China which has a stock market and an investor class and is the opposite of what leftists should support.

Why did China decide to do those reforms? Any ideas?

This is a common talking point among non-Marxists, hence why the other user implied you haven't read theory. The thing is, Marx didn't think abolition of Private Property was the goal of Communism, but one of the essential means of getting there. However, this does not mean it should be dogmatically over-applied at all stages in development, to the contrary, Marx's entire prediction for Communism (and prediction it was, he didn't design Communism and work backwards, but analyzed Capitalism and predicted what comes next) is based on how markets centralize over time into large trusts.

The goal of Communism is real improvements for the Working Class, the tools we should apply depends on what we are working with. Private Property and competition is a great way to quickly develop productive forces at lower stages of development, while Public Ownership and planning becomes more efficient once competition begins to die out. It's like growing a vegetable and harvesting it, you watch over it and fold it into the public sector as it grows.

Private Property, like fire, is dangerous if not contained. This doesn't mean we cannot contain it. If we understand how it functions, we can learn how to use it to better pave the way for eliminating it altogether. As an example, whoever controls the rubber ball factories has far less power than those who control the rubber factory. In the PRC, the overwhelming majority of large industry is in the hands of the government, as well as heavy industry like steel, banking, energy, and more. This is how the government holds Capitalists in line.

Overall, Marxists don't apply a magical property to public ownership where being poor working in the public sector is better than bring well-off in the private. The fact is, systems must adapt to their present conditions, and change as those conditions change. The PRC, as an example, is seeing a dramatic rise in the cooperative sector of the economy from the Private, and while this isn't the same as the Public Sector, it is a decrease in the power of Capitalists.

If you want, I can recommend some theory you can read to understand the why of Communism according to Marx and Engels.
