Not my flavor of socialism

[–] LemmysMum@lemmy.world 46 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You mean you don't like spicy socialism with a dash of authoritarianism?

[–] girl@lemm.ee 51 points 2 years ago (1 children)

you must be a dirty lib, which is the same thing as a conservative, which is basically a nazi THEREFORE you are a nazi, you’ve come full circle

really wasn’t sure if I should’ve included the /s or not lol, I plead innocent your honor

[–] LemmysMum@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The court accepts your plee, you are free to go. Please see the bailiff for your complimentary upvote.

[–] SuckMyWang@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

If you have to think about it many others won’t. Remember the rule no /s you’re a fool.

I on the other hand like to role the dice, it goes about 50/50

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

national socialism? Yuck!

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

I could go for some of that Scandinavian democratic socialism though. Tax the rich and pay for social services that create smooth roads and fewer people looting drug stores to buy fentanyl.

[–] Filthmontane@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago (3 children)

This comment section is full of morons. Socialism is when workers own and operate the means of production democratically. Read a book

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

This is a Nazi joke, the Nazi Party(while not actually being socialist in any way) was short for the National Socialist German Workers Party. And again as we all know the Nazis not only weren’t socialist but actually murdered people that were, they just co-opted the name, they were fascist authoritarians. Other countries that weren’t/arent actually socialist or communist but rather authoritarian state capitalist are the USSR and the PRC. Lemmygrad’s grade of “socialism” is from what I’ve seen, straight up authoritarian like those two “communist” countries, thus the OP is saying they are in support of the national socialism otherwise known as nazism

National socialism comes with a salute and a dash of authoritarianism. But you knew that, right?

[–] GigglyBobble@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Many obviously don't know that "nazi" is an abbreviation.

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 7 points 2 years ago

Everybody will run logical circles around everything for days on days to defend their sus bullshit..... until you mention socialism then all of a sudden there's no way anythings ever been maliciously Co opted in the history of ever!

Yes, that's socialism but the post is talking about another kind of socialism, of the nation kind if you know what I mean

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 23 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Lemmygrad isn't full of natsocs though? They'd get banned on sight no warning. Where the hell is this coming from?

Maybe you don't like them but this is just complete slander.

[–] davel@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 years ago

We found .worlders to be the most fashy posters on lemmygrad.ml, so I can’t say I find their projecting fascism onto us all that surprising, and I can’t say we’ll be missing them.

[–] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah. They defederated from grad.

tankies are literally the ones who beat the Nazis though?

[–] ButtDrugs@lemm.ee -3 points 2 years ago

Ask the people under Nazi Occupation and then Soviet Occupation during and following the war which one they liked more. And that's not to defend the Nazis, fuck all Nazis, but people preferred it to the Soviets, that's how shitty they were.

[–] zombyreagan@lemm.ee -4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yup ol papa Joe beat Hitler all by himself with his hands tied behind his back. What's that? Lend lease? Never heard of it.

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

These are the types of political memes I like to see.

[–] LemmysMum@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I aim for quality, I appreciate that you appreciate.

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Thanks mum.

[–] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Being proponents of socialism is not what makes Lemmygrad problematic. If that were the reason world defederated from them then I would actually be upset with the decision.

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can you elaborate? I don't know what this is in reference to.

[–] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Which part? I’m just saying their being proponents of Socialism isn’t a problem. The post is saying that’s why we defederated from them, which it isn’t. It was the way people behaved on that instance (and outside it), the way communities operated, that led to the decision.

[–] LemmysMum@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's a big difference between socialism and national socialism, one comes with a salute, authoritarianism, and bigotry.

[–] yogurt@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago

Half of the comments here think the point of the meme is that communists are right-wing, and half thinks the point is that Nazis are left-wing.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

The people calling Lemmygrad National Socialist/Nazi/etc sound pretty ridiculous considering how those people are explicitly banned, and I’ve seen how quickly they get kicked off the site:

Rule 5. No right-deviationists (patsocs, nazbols, strasserists, duginists, etc)

[–] Acinonyx 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

you know that national socialism has nothing to do with tankies, right?

or do I understand something wrong?

[–] LemmysMum@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

They aren't real tankies, they're neo-Nazis getting dressed up in drag to play leftists.

Social consciousness takes time to catch up, so we still call these ones tankies.

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Everyone trying to make the lazy "every socialist is a Hitler abiding nazi" argument

But when a fellow community moderator on Lemmy.world was literally espousing Hitler "final solution" rhetoric and I politely asked admin to remove him from mod or let me know if he won't so I can leave the community - I was banned within two minutes.

Explains why the lemmy.world hordes are here calling anything left of Biden literally Hitler, every accusation is a confession.

[–] AngryMulbear@lemmy.ca -4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lemmy will have the same fate as Reddit.
Nostr on the other hand solves the neckbeard mod censorship problem.

[–] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 1 points 2 years ago

Don't free speech instances also completely solve this 'problem'?

[–] gayhitler420@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I don’t understand, is this supposed to say that grad is nazis? They’re very explicit about not allowing nazis and adjacent stuff.

[–] theostermanweekend@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So....what? Was it the socialism or their manner? I'm for a certain amount of socialism, but I don't know enough about these guys. Who'd they irritate? Were they just generally irritating?

[–] theostermanweekend@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago

Ah.....probably should have done my due diligence and followed the thread....

[–] Traegs@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago

Not enough people (including you) don't know that "Nazi" is an abbreviation for "national socialist".

This meme is about telling Nazis we're not interested in their BS.

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

“National Socialism” is Nazi, that has nothing to do at all with socialism.

The imperial core has their panties in a bunch again it seems
