I’m saying each community bans something different. I agree with banning fascist discourse, I dont agree with banning communist discourse. .world thinks otherwise and that’s why it’s shit IMO.

You were responding to a comment quoting Anna Louise Strong on the USSR, that’s why I brought it up.

Communists are almost universally against UBI. As much as the right wing wants to portray us as lazy non working people, communists believe that everyone should contribute to society to the extent of their capabilities and should receive at least enough to have their needs covered. Or, as Marx put it, “from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs”.

UBI is a patch to capitalism. The idea behind it presupposes the existence of unemployment, which communists are fundamentally against. There is no need for unemployment, it’s a fairly new invention (no unemployment in most societies before the industrial revolution), and many nations overcame it (there was no unemployment in the USSR and AFAIK there’s none in Cuba either). Communists want to guarantee to everyone capable of working a decent job, and to people without the physical capabilities to work (due to heavy disabilities, age, or whatever reason) there would be specific aid.

You’re not doing materialist analysis of reality. If the USSR had been ruled by a selfish cadre of self-selected bureaucrats, it wouldn’t have continuously reduced wealth inequality to the point of being the most equal country on earth. It wouldn’t have universal healthcare, free education to the highest level, guaranteed affordable housing or guaranteed jobs. It wouldn’t have had walkable urban planning in the mikroraion system, affordable good quality public transit, affordable and subsidized basic foodstuffs, and it wouldn’t have been the case that by the 1960s there were more female engineers in the USSR than in the rest of the world combined.

For an example of the results of something closer to what you call a dictatorship, you can look at the social and economic results in Saudi Arabia, where the majority of workers are immigrants whose passports are taken away and work for misery wages in what effectively is an apartheid state.

it’s just another hierarchy wearing red paint

If that were the case, we would expect similar social and economic outcomes in both cases. Then, why did the USSR have the lowest recorded wealth and income inequality in history? Why did it have guaranteed employment, guaranteed housing at a cost of 3% of the average income, universal free healthcare and free education to the highest level? Why did it have walkable and public transit-oriented urban planning with services accessible by foot (look up the word “mikroraion” on Wikipedia)? Why could unions remove factory managers if they so decided, and why was there a newspaper to each workplace in which workers could write their complaints and their ideas? Why were the highest-earning individuals university professors and artists and not political bureaucrats?

Fascist apologia here gets banned, in .world you have people openly saying that Palestinians deserve to be genocided and you guys don’t give a shit

Chinese citizens are, by all polls, much happier with their government and feel more represented by it than westerners. Being able to choose every 4 years the colour of the party applying austerity policy isn’t democracy. Germany ignored a referendum in Berlin to establish rent caps because an old fart with a wig said it was “un institutional”. The EU forced Greece to act against the state-wide referendum to revise sovereign debt. China is much more of a democracy than western countries.

Which of the several things I mentioned while paraphrasing the video titles that you can literally look up yourself?

Propagating feel-goodism about climate change while taking money from the Bill&Melinda Gates Foundation and saying that eventually climate change will be solved by technology, whitewashing carbon capture technologies and overselling their potential, taking money from Templeton Foundation when making videos about consciousness, using the “Israel fighting Hamas” narrative in a 2025 video regarding wars…

From your link:

[Stalin said] “The Russian tsars did many bad things. They plundered and enslaved the people. They waged wars and grabbed territory in the interests of the landowners. But they did do one good thing—they created a huge state that stretches all the way to Kamchatka. We have inherited that state. And for the first time we, the Bolsheviks, have brought together and consolidated this state as a single, indivisible state… for the benefit of the workers”

At the Berlin train station on the eve of the Potsdam Conference in 1945, U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union Averell Harriman asked Stalin how it felt.to arrive in the capital of a defeated enemy as a victor. Stalin replied, “Tsar Alexander made it all the way to Paris.”

That is absolutely not a territorial claim, it’s a statement about Russian history. He specifically mentioned the horrors of the tsarist empire, which you will never hear Putin do

Because associated independent preindustrial farms can’t face invasion from industrialized nations. Leaving the farmers in the past would have been the death of them. Remember: the USA, France, Poland, Japan, Greece, Estonia, Romania, Serbia and Italy invaded the RSFSR during the Russian Civil War for the sin of being communist. Stalin famously predicted the Nazi invasion 10 years in advance:

We are 50–100 years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this distance in ten years. Either we do it, or they crush us.

-Stalin, 1931, talking about the industrialization of the Soviet Union.

What you say of the Russian Empire and the contemporary Russian Republic regarding treatment of the Ukrainians is true, but it’s simply false when it comes to the USSR. The USSR defended Ukrainian sovereignty from the start, creating a Ukrainian republic with Ukrainian as the official language, a majority of publications in Ukrainian, right to an education in Ukrainian, and representation of Ukrainian politicians to the point of the USSR having as party leaders for the most part Ukrainians such as Khruschev or Brezhnev. Had it not been for the Soviets (including Ukrainian themselves), Ukraine would have turned into a genocided German colony in the 1940s according to Generalplan Ost, or at best many of its territories would still belong to Poland such as the city of Lviv.

Can you provide a source for Stalin saying that?

This is literally “great replacement conspiracy theory” applied to Russians… Replace the word “Russians” with “Arabs” or “Muslims” and you’re saying literally the same as European Neofascists

Zionist scum

How is this fascist nonsense not banned from .world is beyond me

And how else would you describe mass imprisonment of pro-palestinian protesters? Furthermore: how is this fascist apologia not banned on .world?

Oh, sorry, I didnt know the “Freedom Eagle Burger index” based off Washington DC said it’s not fascist. Well, pack up guys, nothing to see here!

It’s a good source if it reports on the fascist behaviors of the UK government. With this trend, how long do you think western media will be able to report freely on this stuff?

We’re not great currently, but we are leaps and bounds better than Saudi Arabia right now

No, you are not. You have fascist brigades roaming around terrorizing minorities, you have innocents being taken to illegal prisons, you have a worldwide media apparatus boosting fascism all over the world, 20% of male black US population goes through jail (where slave labour is legal) at some point of their lives, you are intervening in regime change and upholding fascist puppets like Milei or Bolsonaro, you start war after war after war, and last but not least, you’re materially and diplomatically enabling the genocide of Palestinians by the fascist ethnostate of Isntreal. The US is not “leaps and bounds better than Saudi Arabia”.
