SP: “Wait, communism isn’t when you kill peasants, boil their babies and execute socdem community organizers? I distinctly remember reading Lenin say to do this!”

As @[email protected] stated here, the reason you received a temp ban was because you told someone (from a comrade server) that you hope they get covid. That is completely innappropriate, and its almost unbelievable that you’d wish that pain on someone else. The point of these temp bans is to give people a chance to cool off, and that’s a very minor thing considering.

I’d wager that most of us on lemmygrad (including me) mask in public, and your temp ban had nothing to do with that. The only bannable offense w/ respect to masking here would be someone posting anti-science articles, or wishing that someone gets covid like you did. People can (and do) report those comments, so we can remove them as necessary.

I’m locking this as its trying to start a struggle session that’s a distraction over your temp ban for saying you hope someone gets covid.

I’m trying it now, seems okay so far. I tried it a few months ago and it was unusable, so it’s improved.

There was nothing wrong with your post, it just got locked because ppl had some heated gamer moments wishing covid on others, and it was turning toxic.

A lot of ppl on both lemmygrad and hexbear feel strongly that we shouldn’t platform any comments about not masking, due to the potential harm it could cause irl. They reported these comments and we removed them.

I don’t think this needs a people’s court post, and it’s not a bannable offense (unless someone’s linking a bunch of anti-science stuff, wishing other ppl get covid, or trivializing those who had long-covid or something).

Yeah its not clear to me what matrix 2.0 is either, seems like spec changes? Nothing here about synapse (the python matrix server), or the go one.

Probably just western journos getting their articles done by the weekend. Most likely we’re going to see an exponential growth russiabad posts (we’re already seeing NYT op-eds calling Jill Stein a russian plant) until the end of the US election.

You need to shame muslims more for not supporting the people bombing them. That seems to be working out well for you below.

Western supremacy and defense of colonialism is the cornerstone of liberalism, so they will, just like all the liberals did during the US war on Iraq, vietnam, and every other war.

Damn Jill stein wants to disband the 4th reich, imperialist arm of the anglo-camp? Sounds rad.

Classic natopedia.

Excellent post, thanks for this writeup.

I’d also like to add this article, fully refuting the “Russia is imperialist” myth.

Modern Russia does not fit any definition of imperialist.

Or like, string theory.

Actually scratch that, posadism is bird law (or maybe dolphin law)

Ya that’s the one.

Nice, I’ll have to check out the andy serkis version.

Great! Lots of vacationing this month, but just now getting back to work. How about u?

Some that I haven’t seen mentioned yet:

• Galeano - open veins of latin america
• clr james - the black jacobins

Hobsbawm is also known for his Marxist history tomes, but I haven’t finished any of those yet.

Was just gonna mention caliban and the witch, it’s an excellent resource for feudal-era class analysis.
