Many people on lemmy.ml deeply respect and admire authoritarian governments and organizations.

Iran, China, North Korea, Soviet Union…

The West has many flaws. But our flaws are nothing compared to these guys.

Iran hangs homosexuals. Iran shot 30,000 people in less than than 2 weeks. The Soviet Union had to build a fucking Iron wall to prevent people from escaping. The Soviets lied about the Chernobyl nuclear explosion. China censors the internet. China wants to eliminate Islam. North Korea is a totalitarian hellscape. Watching anime is a crime.

Why is lemmy.ml so fascinated with authoritarians?

    They just hate me because I have a basic grasp of economics and I don’t think businesses and landlords are inherently evil.

    Who is Hasan? Some dumbass tiktoker?

      don’t think businesses and landlords are inherently evil.

      Literally every capitalist theory, from Adam Smith’s to Mill, from Hayek to Henry George:

      Landlords are inherently evil.
