My bans from lemmy.ml have all come from literally arguing that there are a solid 150 years worth of academic ideas building on Marx and that taking Marxist orthodoxy as the exclusive socialist dogma in that context is simply ignorant.
I am starting to think that they hate revisionist socialists more than actual capitalists, because it seeks to deny them the thing they really want, which is a justification for violence and totalitarianism.
Okay, yes, this was my exact experience as well. I don’t recall where I got banned, but I was simply making the point that we should use the best bits of socialism and merge them with more modern systems.
They did NOT like that. It seems so incredibly reasonable, and mild to suggest stuff like this… Like, these people really are the “snowflakes” the right attests them to be.
