      More like an il duce. Lenin’s idea of democracy (in practice) is a lot like Mussolini’s idea of “democracy.” I don’t think Hitler ever tried to pretend like Germany was democratic

      also the governance in Ukraine that Lenin desperately wanted to crush was anarcho-communist (called by most Ukrainians anarchism because communism as a term has been so heavily associated with the real bad times)

            I was not sure this decision was the right one. But the experience on Lemmy is far better without them, so I guess it was.

              You’re entitled to believe whatever you want, but when your political ideology includes supporting/encouraging/performing violence towards anyone who doesn’t agree with you, then yeah, you’re no longer invited to be a part of civil discussion.

          I think they finally got it into their head that they simply aren’t welcome amongst decent folk, other than a few stragglers.

            I just chose an instance that blocked grad and hexbear. You can’t manually block them.

                but blocking the community dont block the users.
