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, 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.
