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?
I’m not talking about “the party” I’m talking about the DNC…
And the DNC is basically a dictatorship run under the chair, for four years they’re accountable to no one and for a long string of chairs that’s worked out horribly.
When a Dem becomes president, they name a DNC chair. Meaning the last one was obvious a neoliberal appointed by Biden and thats why they didn’t let us have a primary.
Right now the DNC chair is legitimately nonbiased. They won’t say shit till after the primary, and support everyone equally that goes to a general.
That means, ML should be pushing really really hard for a progressive Dem in the presidential primary, one who they believe will appoint someone explicitly progressive as chair.
Like, if you think the literal first step in ML invalidated the whole thing…
I’m just explaining what their plan is, go to .ml and tell them that you believe their entire plan is fundamentally flawed and if they agree, ask them why they still say they’re ML.
