I got banned from “World News @ lemmy.ml” because of “Nationalism”, because I argued that especially Europe does not just send weapons to Ukraine, but does also support Ukraine with the injured, with money and with a perspective after the war… My comment got deleted, too…
Does anyone have an explanation or is the mod just some kind of GPT-2 model with a very special understanding of “Nationalism”?
All communist countries i know of went into authoritarianism along the way. There’s this weird idea that communism can be implemented through creating an authoritarian state that then abolishes itself, turns out the people in power generally don’t want to give it up, who would’ve thought.
Fwiw I disagree with a lot of assumptions in marxism and some of the conclusions and am overall more of a social capitalist but it’s pretty true that there hasn’t been a truly communist country yet. But I’m fairly sure the same could be said of true pure capitalism anyway.
