Yeah, basically. ‘Neoliberal’ and ‘lib’ are just snarl words many tankies use to mean “Anyone less fascist than Mao”.
In general, .world is much less radical than many places on Lemmy. But they’re far from neoliberals. The average poster is slightly left of a Berniecrat, probably; that is to say, either a very strong SocDem or a very weak DemSoc.
Wouldn’t it be lovely? Unfortunately, we’ve got a lot of fighting on the ground to convince our fellow citizens to get their asses there instead of some weird 90s fantasy world.
The people who think .world is socialist also think socialism is when the government does things and that social democracy is a type of socialism and not a type of liberalism.
This is especially evident the way they get whipped into a froth any time actually existing (and former) socialist countries get brought up.

It’s funny that all the “AES” countries that are brought up are just authoritarian states, and sometimes, for that matter, authoritarian capitalist states. It’s almost like the people championing these supposedly socialist countries are just fascists painted red.
Eh, it’s a mixed bag. There’s a very high concentration of centrist, “vote blue, no matter who,” liberals in Political Memes. They’re not the whole instance, but they’ve made a nice little echo chamber that makes them a pretty loud minority.
try posting it on grad, they’ll love it
Or ml. Or Hexbear.
Why can’t we have a leftist instance that doesn’t suck CCP dick?
lemmy.world is basically that. You’ll get the most concentrated socdem/socialist engagements without traipsing into hunny-cum-shot territory.
So those people calling it neoliberal are fucking liars

Listen all I’m saying is that if we were so far left that Bernie was center right on policy the country would be a much better place for everyone.

Socialism is when the CIA goes in and kills your leader right?
The CIA tried to kill Charles DeGaulle in 1961, but if the CIA isn’t trying to kill your leader, you’re not doing socialism.

most communities on ml are fine tho, also I got banned on hexbear because I called the CPC (their official name) CCP
The admins are tankies. It’s just better to avoid it. The smaller their communities the more of a joke it is getting banned for writing a fact.
I don’t have a problem with any of the communities but I regularly catch the instance ban hammer for asinine reasons.
yeah, I mean you’re kinda right
From what I know, dbzer0 is libertarian left and therefore not tankie
If I had to choose between a libertarian and a tankie I’d shoot myself with a rusty spork.
Libertarian left is very different from “libertarian”
Maybe I should have said “anarchist left”. The term “Libertarian” is overtaken by the Right by now
but dbzer0 is anarchist?
Yes
dbzer0 is anarchist, definitely not libertarian
We do. DB0 and Solarpunk.
A lot of bad actors on Slrpnk but overall the community is anarchist leaning, anti-dictatorship.
Genuinely there are a lot of people that would like that. Maybe start with a community first before an entire instance.
Blåhaj is here! I don’t recall seeing a tankie with a blåhaj account, and also we have personalities outside of politics.
If you check the Blahaj rules it explicitly states being tankie adjacent is a bannable offence, I love it.
Yeah .ml will be enough
