I’m happy to hear that.

Really.

Woah, I have never seen a Marxist Leninist on here criticise Putin before. Fair play.

Well said. The maths of infinite extraction on a finite planet always had an expiration date, even if the timeline is protracted. It’s going to be incredibly fascinating and probably pretty turbulent to watch how the rest of this century plays out as that reality fully sets in. Really enjoyed this discussion.

It sounds like we are entirely on the same page. The timeline shifted and the system proved highly elastic by evolving into neocolonialism, but the fundamental mechanics of extraction remained the same. The real question now is whether the current rise of multipolarity is finally the breaking point of that system, or if capital will find yet another way to mutate.

You are absolutely right about the ‘expand or die’ mechanics on a finite planet. However, it’s not entirely accurate that Lenin didn’t have a timeframe in mind. He subtitled his pamphlet ‘the eve of the social revolution’ because he genuinely believed the carnage of World War I was the terminal crisis. He didn’t foresee capitalism’s ability to mutate, adopt Keynesian reforms, and stabilise post-WWII. His mechanical diagnosis of finance capital was incredibly prescient, but he underestimated capitalism’s elasticity unfortunately 🥲

This is well written, but sadly for us, capitalism has proven to be more adaptable than Lenin predicted, having declared it as moribund over a century ago.

And those 40 down votes probably came from 4 different people.

Don’t down vote those people though, you’ll get a ban.

Yes, I was warned for explicitly accusing people of having alts and was informed this is known and “bad jacketing” and stopped. I was warned for trolling you in a sexual manner on lemmy.world memes and stopped.

So why was I given a 30 day ban recently? You have been banned from communities in the past for racism and vote manipulation and yet you were not banned from lemmy.ml so it is difficult for me to understand what I have done wrong so I can avoid doing it again in the future.

If that were actually true then being anti-capitalist or anti-liberal would also be xenophobic.

Besides, I have only said things that are anti-dictatorship and anti-genocide.

I already had a temp ban for trolling in regards to the sexual harassment you refer to which was on lemmy.world.

This is nothing in Rule 1 regarding being anti-communist.

Rule 1 does include things such as racism, vote manipulation and Rule 4 includes spamming. I wonder why you were not banned for doing all those things.

So this was a delayed banning?

Complaining about communists doesn’t appear to be in Rule 1.

Rule 2: Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.

Tankies give us leftists a bad name sadly.

There aren’t really that many tankies, they are just extremely vocal. I suspect a lot of them are actually alt accounts too.

I like what they’re saying.

Wrong, it’s what the left calls genocide and dictator sympathisers.

Lol, whoever had “strawman” on their tankie bingo card, please cross it off.

Yes that’s the stuff. Now tell me something truly disgusting and abhorrent like Ukrainians deserve to die because they are Jewish Nazis or something else completely idiotic.
