There are a lot of commies here. I don't particularly like them but that is there right and lemmy is not and should not be pro-censorship. If somepeople don't like them they should find an instance that suits you better.

There are alot of people who are pissed off about the current system here. Makes sense, since these would be the people who are willing to push through the growing pains of the fediverse to remove themselves from corporate centralized sites.

For example, I'm not necessarily a communist, since I am not convinced it's the best alternative to our version of capitalism in America; but I will agree with the communists when they say we need to replace our broken system with something better.

Hilarious considering they are reddit refugees explicitly because of capitalism and the insatisble greed it stokes.

Honestly, if I was a capitalism defender, I'd go to Threads to be monetized by Zuck, but since I know zuck is a capitalist I know any niceties provided today will be pay/ad walled if the platform becomes popular the next time Zuck wants to stoke his quarterly growth/metastasis estimates.

There is no safe harbor to be had putting your faith in capitalists, only exploitation in the name of sociopathic, unquenchable greed. It's never enough, and when the chips are down and you participate, it will be taken out of your ass sooner or later.

It would be lovely if the capitalism cheerleaders could learn this through experience, but they never seem to, even after getting their ass kicked by it. Unless you hold significant capital (if you have to ask how much you need, you are not), you are not a capitalist, you are the capitalist's livestock.

It's one thing to be a communist; it's another to be an apologist for the CCP.

Well the western left does have issues like being sex obsessed.

No, propaganda shouldn't be made to make the left sex obsessed.
