I found that the members of r/luckystar were saying very sexual things about characters that, while 18, had very child like designs. And even if, they were saying shit like, “Cunny!” and, “Correction!” so, yeah.
I constantly reported all posts and comments like that I came across and eventually made a post asking why they were saying things like that. I wasn’t hostile, and was in fact, rather calm about the situation. Meanwhile, they were all extremely rude and hostile towards my post, calling me names and such, and about 20 minutes later, my account was shadowbanned.
So, not only did Reddit moderation side with the pedos, they didn’t even have the decency to tell me what I did wrong. Assuming how it all happened so suddenly, I’m just gonna assume the pedos all mass-reported my account for God knows what. Any and all appeals I’ve mad since then received no response.
I still stuck around for a few months after that, [that whole deal happened back in May of 2025.] but the extreme leftist political dooming invading every corner of the website I used made it absolutely miserable to use.
Tonight, I finally put my foot down and said, “I quit!” I discovered this website and made an account here. I guess you can use this post to welcome me to the Fediverse.
Workers having more crumbs while still being subservient to capital doesn’t make them more socialist.
It uses markets to solve specific problems.
There are rich whom are party members, and are even less independent than rich people who have no connection to the government. We can infer they are not in control from the government’s actions, from not propping up property prices to reeducating or even executing capitalists who commit social murder.
I’m not a nationalist, this isn’t team sports.
Of course I support most any anti-capitalist party. But I’ve pretty much given up hope for the west.
But China is state capitalist, dude, it’s not socialist. Hell, even in your argument for not propping up property prices, China still has extensive private property. That’s contradictive of socialism!
So what exactly is your stance? Since China doesn’t meet your definition of socialist. Are you advocating for state capitalism instead?
Like you’ve got some wires crossed somewhere here. I think you’re conflating socialism and capitalism with imperialism.
My definition for socialism is that the working class holds power, as opposed to capital. China, Cuba, Vietnam, all meet that criteria. They use markets, but that doesn’t make them state capitalist as capital doesn’t dictate policy as in capitalist states.
Is your argument that a state is only socialist if they abolish private property on day 1?
My argument is that if you’re saying that what defines socialism is the working class holding power, then Western nations, such as European or Commonwealth nations, are advancing your definition of socialism more than China.
So you should be advocating for Europe and Commonwealth nations over China if advancing socialism is your priority.
Consider this: China has one overarching union, the ACFTU, which is controlled by the state, which is the Chinese government. Independent unions, separate from the government, are considered to be illegal in China. Workers cannot unionise without explicit permission from the Government, and can only do so through the ACFTU.
Compare that to Western Nations, where worker unions are legal and largely separate from the government.
Out of these two, which more aligns with your definition of socialism being the working class holding power?
When the workers control the government, unions are redundant at best and reactionary bastions that will impede progress at worst, which we saw them stike at the behest if the CIA in Allande’s Chile and Sankara’s Burkina Faso.
I support unions in europe, I don’t support their enemy, the capitalists and their governments.
Workers have better conditions in europe, due to colonial history and crumbs afforded by the threat of socialism, but the state isn’t run by and for the working class as in AES countries.
If workers control the state, why must workers be prevented from organising independently?
Because those independent organizations can have interests opposed to the rest of society. Outside forces, historically the CIA, then amplify the influence of members who support such actions via money, media presence, and “international” support.
If independent unions are a threat, then the state doesn’t fully represent workers.
The interests of different groups of workers can be diametrically opposed, or literally opposed to the interests of every other group.
