Why not?

Economics still can be analyzed scientifically and from a materialist perspective. For example, Marxist economics.

Sure, but economics itself can be studied scientifically.

The study of human behavior is more difficult to measure, but can absolutely be held to scientific rigor. In fact, all branches of science have some degree of overlap and interconnection, and thus have blurrier lines than you might expect.

Why not?

NATO is bad, though. It’s the “defensive” alliance for the world’s imperialist powers, similar to how “Israel” “defends itself” with the IDF. It’s used to prevent the people of the global south from directly retaliating against imperialism.

I have about ~100 articles on Red Sails and essays on ProleWiki open, plus a few articles from other sites. I read about 5-10 a week, so this should last me a few more months.

There were plans for many more. Only volume 1 was punlished while Marx was alive, the other two were compiled from notes and outlines by Engels.

I didn’t make the top-level comment 🤷

That’s not really a mix of both, but just capitalism with welfare. Something being capitalist or socialist is determined by what is principal in the mode of production, and which class is in control of the state.

It isn’t really surprising that a federated, FOSS alternative to Reddit and its enshittification has a lot of left-wingers, especially when it’s developed by communists.

The problem with your accusation is that it doesn’t hold water. Leftist instances are consistently more correct regarding political views. You can’t just say that Hexbear is wrong for having stances, you need to investigate the stances themselves.

Lemmy.world is highly political, just for liberalism, the standard in the western world.

Socialist countries have brought comprehensive democratization for society every time they have been established.

Lemmy.world promotes liberalism and liberal ideologies. It sounds like your issue isn’t with politics in the abstract, but instead with left wing politics in particular.

Bernie and AOC have not succeeded in meaningfully changing the system, though, so there’s no evidence that this is a “more powerful place.” Bernie and AOC are more establishment friendly and thus have people among the establishment platforming them, which defangs their allowed progressivism in order to keep them in the public eye. PSL actually stands to bring real change.

PJ complained to Rimu, so Rimu instance banned me from PieFed.social, and it seems Feddit.org and Lemmy.Blahaj.zone followed suit. Started from this, where I responded to some of PJ’s nonsense, then PJ made a string of MwoG posts about me. Really not worth anyone’s time to look into, but for those who want context here it is.

China has sovereignty over their internet infrastructure, that’s what the Great Firewall is for. The US Empire cannot do as it likes with China.

I’d say actual socialist orgs like PSL count far more as opposition. Bernie and AOC depend too heavily on the existing establishment, and thus are powerless against it, while PSL is steadily building a full alternative.
