Aaaaaaand I just got banned from NOT one, NOT two, NOT three, but four Lemmy.ml communities. Is this a sign I have to start studying and reading up on theory?
Also, I know some Lemmy.ml mods is gonna say that “you wouldn’t get banned from these communities had you read your theory!” like they’re teachers demanding students to eat their meat before they can have their pudding (because how can you have your pudding when you don’t eat your meat?)
Now I support the idea of socialism (I’m more of a market socialist), and I’m NOT against the idea of actually existing socialist countries (ie: China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos and the DPRK). That said, I think Lemmy.ml should be more open to different forms of socialism, as well as the Marxist Leninists who DOESN’T have to support Stalin (and his bureaucratic and polarizing practices while General Secretary of the CPSU) to support ML.
I am very bummed that I CAN’T respond in these communities - that said, I can subscribe to different versions of these communities that happened to be in different Lemmy instances (other than Lemmy.ml):
Socialism:

Privacy:
Memes:
Lemmy support:
Someone should make another Lemmy support community here in this instance
Nah. I demand you stop eating meat.
Guess I’m not a mod, though, so take the rest of this with a giant serving of salt:
You’re getting banned in part because you post the same things over and over again and don’t seem to actually incorporate any of the feedback you get in response.
You’re getting banned in part because you’re participating in communities you’ve previously been banned from (and, per the prior point, not changing anything about how you participate in those communities).
You’re getting banned in part because your takes are often contradictory and unrealistic, and primarily based in historical revisionism.
Do you still think I should study and read a bit theory more?
I know I always get “you gotta read theory!”
… yep.
So you’re gonna tell me to read up on socialist/communist theory?
Sorry, is this really, genuinely you not trolling? You gotta take an answer as an answer sometimes.
I already have, and I don’t see any need to explicitly state that over and over given that you can clearly infer it just fine.
I’ve even suggested some alternatives to reading previously in the hope they’d be an easier entry point.
I don’t particularly expect anything different at this point.
