Echoing Erika3sis’s great comment, Wikipedia represents the western viewpoint and consensus, not a global consensus and viewpoint, which leads it to being shaped by the institutions that have sway in the west.

To be fair, Lemmy.ml just has lots of MLs, Lemmygrad.ml is the actual ML instance. Also to be fair, many nstances do have strong political views as a part of their identity.
PSL is trying to build that opposition party as we speak.
Everything is political, and Lemmy was made as an alternative to Reddit based on ideological reasoning in favor of FOSS and federation. Lemmy was made by communists, and there are a ton of us communists here as a consequence.


Only the beginning, before we can abolish class distinctions and fully collectivize production and distribution globally.


Term limits also limit positive change. They are meant to prevent change in general.


To be clear, socialism retains administration and organization, it just gradually abolishes class divisions.


Nationalize the large firms and key industries, end all embargoes and sanctions on other countries, redistribute land from the landlords and private firms, end all overseas millitary bases, end all wars and pull out of NATO. Begin building mass rail, solar, and nuclear by engaging with strategic partnerships with China. Land back and decolonization of Turtle Island. Building up the productive forces via central planning and strong state funding, while gradually appropriating medium firms as they grow and monopolize.
Dismantling settler-colonialism and imperialism are the primary tasks of building socialism on Turtle Island.
Production and distribution will be run according to a common, scientific plan. Worker’s councils will be set up, alongside youth leagues. Social programs like free healthcare and education will be established, and a reduction to the 30 hour work week in the long-run. Full-employment will be achieved via mass infrastructure projects. The country will be connected and integrated with the city, suburbs will gradually be pivoted away from in favor of mixed-use, walkable city planning.
Full protections for LGBTQIA+ individuals and abortion protections. Religion will be purged from the state in all aspects, while being protected as an individual choice. Prison reform will be established, focusing on rehabilitation and ending the profit motive from incarceration. Police budgets will be slashed. National parks will recieve greater land and funding for protections, as will scientific advancement in medicine and more.
This seems like a lot, but it all stems from nationalizing the large firms and key industries, as well as redistribution of land, land back, and decolonization. As imperialism decays, the economic compulsion for self-reliance grows, meaning if the working classes can establish a socialist state then we can achieve the rest gradually.
If those ideas sound good to you, and you haven’t yet engaged with Marxist-Leninist theory, I made a basic study guide! Feel free to check it out!


And both healthy and tasty!


They aren’t working, but they still gain traction because they represent the class interests of imperialists.


Why would you hope I’m right? You want Argentina to collapse?


You’re looking at how well the wealthiest are doing, when poverty is now far worse, and these “gains” are built on unsustainable loans from the IMF to “fake” economic growth. Argentina is on a path to absolute devastation.


Donate to Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and Palestine, as much as you can to make sure their attacks do as little as possible. Organize on the ground in parties like PSL. Agitate against the millitary industrial complex, follow in the footsteps of Palestine Action. Undermine NATO, which is helping the attacks and is a tool of western imperialism. Try to pivot to solar, and take up gardening to weather the storm of the closure of the strait of Hormuz. Support Iran against Zionists.


No, he destroyed a struggling but functional economy and ruined the lives of millions to try to impress fascists like Elon Musk.


It was damaged, not destroyed.


Their president is an AnCap that nuked social services and critical government infrastructure, took on enourmous loans, and created skyrocketing poverty and unemployment. If socialists were in charge then Argentina would not be in this crisis.


Because it’s run by an AnCap that decided to nuke all social services and sell the entire country out to the IMF and crypto scams.
Yep, Lemmy.ml isn’t actually something that can be categorized as “cleanly ML.”
