in summer 2023, when I moved here from reddit, the lemmy instance beehaw.org was extremely divisive. they wanted to create a website according to certain rules rather than a free for all. some people were saying it would be the end of the threadiverse before it even began.

since that time, there have been various other intrinsic and extrinsic threats. I do not see much panicking about beehaw. did the threadiverse survive beehaw? or is this only a shell of what we might have had otherwise?

A: Nordic systems like that are by definition not a form of economic socialism.

B: Gonna make an assumption that you using Tankie was likely referencing some authoritarian policy and just grouping them all under 'tankie' as a generic insult like most .world liberals. Leninists or other ML flavors are not tankies.

I don't necessarily agree with down voting just for the inaccuracies of A. The boring 'tankie' this and 'tankie' that from the libs is getting REAL old though. They can't even borrow an insult correctly. I have no issues with memes and banning people for that as those people clearly have no intention of serious conversation.

It's exhausting to the point that you were likely dismissed the moment that happened. I know it's bad for spreading ideas and I don't really like it. That said, explaining the real definition and real points of debate for the 100th time when really only every 10th person had an honest desire to learn/share is trying to say the least.

As an authoritarian leaning Leninists I will gladly tell you why Anarchism and Libertarian Socialism inevitably fail though if you want.
