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:

!socialism@beehaw.org

!actualsocialism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

!actualsocialism101@lemmy.dbzer0.com

!socialist@lemmy.world

Privacy:

!privacy@lemmy.world

Memes:

!memes@hexbear.net

!linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Lemmy support:

Someone should make another Lemmy support community here in this instance

    Have you ever considered that you’re trying to appease a cult that does not care for you in any capacity? I would strongly advise you to recollect on what you believe in and not to fall to group think. It’s much more important to ask yourself are the things I’m doing having positive impacts on my community versus is my ideology, correct.

        I think it’s more of a loss of sense of belonging where they hold political ideology in the same reverence that the religious hold their attachments to their church. As far as he’s concerned, he just got excommunicated by the pope, but he’s still a good little Catholic boy.

        Ideologies are foolish systems made to concentrate power and control, not help people.

        Reading your post is identical to reading a post about somebody being banned from an ultra right-wing church because they didn’t believe in Jesus the right way. If you can’t see that, I would advise you to reflect.

        Live the best life you can treat other people’s the best you can. That’s what matters.
