That just sounds like Malthusian / eco-fascist lines of thought.

This place is full of weird and wonderful art. I recommend just randomly clicking through some videos.

I haven’t read a lot of these sources myself yet, but the first one at least by the Communist Party of India is worth a read.

'This is Parkdale' - Documentary about a Toronto Rent Strike (sub.media)
 

In the summer of 2017, in the Toronto neighbourhood of Parkdale, over 300 tenants living across 12 apartment buildings went on rent strike to protest a wave of rent increases that would have displaced members of their community. Through months of organizing and a series of escalating actions, working-class people took on the biggest corporate landlord in their neighbourhood… and won. In an age where gentrification is rapidly transforming the nature and demographics of working-class neighbourhoods in cities across the world, pushing out poorer tenants, people on fixed incomes, immigrant communities and other long-term residents, the story of the Parkdale rent strike offers an important and practical lesson on how we can organize with our neighbours to fight back.

Am I allowed to criticize tankism within this forum? in c/anarchism@lemmy.ml
[–] xe8@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 years ago

That seems fine. I’m just thinking it’s best to do so with some substantial analysis / critique.

If you just start a thread with the title of “Am I allowed to criticize tankism in this forum?” and saying nothing else, it’s just going to come off as inflammatory trolling without substance. You’re not going to convince anyone that way.

Am I allowed to criticize tankism within this forum? in c/anarchism@lemmy.ml
[–] xe8@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 years ago (5 children)

What’s “tankism”? There’s just been a statement about the political ideologies of devs / mods on Lemmy.

If you just want to share a spicy meme there are other communities like /c/completeanarchy and /c/dankleft.

Seems appropriate at this point that here you should at least put some effort into your critique and at least define if you’re talking about Marxism, ML, MLM, or some other ideology.

What is your take on, Lemmy being run by Tankies? in c/anarchism@lemmy.ml
[–] xe8@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 years ago

It’s not so much being “run” by tankies, as it is being developed. So that should be respected. And it’s being built in a way that seems in line with anarchist principles, which allows for federation. If there’s a problem another instance could easily be created. If you don’t like it, take direct action and spin up a server.

Right now I think this instance is fine. It’s much better than a place like Reddit which is full of libs, or other sites full of nazis - and all run for profit with targeted advertising and tracking.

I also think it’s good to at least engage with each other. Even if you consider yourself an anarchist, it’s still good to read theory from other schools of thought, and at least take on board some of the tankie criticisms. You might also change some minds along the way.

Anyway, there’s a lot to be done in unionizing our workplaces, building mutual aid networks, spreading propaganda, building software, etc. etc. So this topic is probably a bit of a dead end.

Not Safe For Brands? I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Ridiculous.

Does Lemmy have any kind of protection against stuff like vote manipulation from bot accounts?
