In other thread I got vibe that majority of Lemmy users support communism and CCP. Is support for Russia/Putin? Or have I just stumble in a post dominated by those people.
I also read a phrase “lemmy.ml” user. Is lemmy.ml instance considered communist?
I understand there will be more left leaning users in Lemmy compared to Reddit. But I expected moderate left and not radical communist left.
What is your opinion on that?
I respect its supporters (do they respect me, that is the real question) but must admit I am not one. It places prestige on characteristics that aren’t equal opportunity in such a way that I cannot reconcile my view of humanity with it.
This is essentially why I’m an anarchist, it literally puts everyone on the same level and people who are put in places of responsibility report to everyone below them, and that responsibility can be recalled at any time.
I find people become communists over time and with some persuasion, but after learning about anarchy I found I already believed in every facet of it. If you have basic human decency, then you’ll likely be surprised how much you believe in it too.
What is it called where you believe in the validity of authority but only on a conditional level?
I’m really not sure, I’m not the biggest theory person tbh. Depending on what you’re thinking of, that could just be anarchy.
I don’t want to assume what you mean, but if you’re perhaps talking about something along the lines of following and listening to experts, then that’s understood to be a positive thing to us anarchists. To use a painfully fresh example, following scientists/medical professionals on public health decisions, rather than conspiracy theorists
