fuck landlords
fuck carsWhy is my only choice between medical “care” rude-and-inefficient people or nice-and-inefficient people.
Our party presented the program for upcoming elections and the emphasis is heavily on taxing rich people. Kind of a bummer tbh.
Can you still request changes in the program?
Not really. Other parts of the program aren’t bad but I just feel like having your thing be ‘tax the rich’ is not really a marxist thing to do.
this is glorious
Just saw a humongous dodge ram pickup, with a Z painted after the “ram” (in font the size of my head), and a “Biden is a Schmuck” sticker on the rear window. I live in Russia, not USA.
Bourgeoisie nationalism, not even once
American cultural imperialism has melted the minds of billions worldwide.
Some of my Belarusian family living in deep woods 100km from the nearest population center, isolated from most of humanity, have MAGA hats and try to talk to me about trump “draining the swamp” and “fighting the immigrants”. Fml
That’s just depressing. It’s like that meme about “Barnaul! Altaysky krai!”
Hi!
Hello
Man I just got dog piled on an argument over voting. I get it’s a hot topic in this community but having people call me a fascist and telling me to die in Barbara pit is a fucking mood killer. Is voting really deserving of such hate? Was it an argument that got too heated? Is it normal to experience this from fellow comrades over a small disagreement or is the issue really as defining of a person as it was made to seem?

Lmafo get fucked, infiltrator.
You should check out the “discussion” if you haven’t already, they said some very funny lib things. Their final signoff was * chef’s kiss *
thread can be found here: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/3850932
(And big surprise, they weren’t “dogpiled” for a slight disagreement, but for actively being pro-fash and pro-genocide, smugly ignorant, and refusing to actually listen to anything anyone said, all while demanding civility from everyone else while not returning it in kind.)
About what I expected. Mods were insanely patient to only give them a few day temp, i’ve been permbanned from so many places just for my uncompromising antifascism, not just on lemmy but also on basically every platform I join. Libs get one whiff of that and go into a bloodrage.
Yeah, they cry about how “authoritarian” our mods are, but every time I look at another lemmy instance I see the mods abusing their powers far more than here, our mods are generally patient and willing to just give temp bans rather than permanent bans.
Also hilarious to see other instances being nonstop “uncivil” with each other, the mask of civility slips off very quickly, they always bicker and argue in a way I just don’t see here. We actually seem to get along with each other and when we disagree, it’s time for education, not hurling baseless insults (insults are still hurled, but not baseless ones). I think that might be why their brains short circuit a little bit when they deal with us, because in lib to lib communication, they will just ignore what the other person said and pretend they said something else so they can argue against that instead. Then when they want to “win” they just announce “logical fallacy” and declare victory. But we don’t tolerate that here, we actually read what they say, and expect them to do the same.
Where is this? you can’t post these pictures without a location. my curiosity is killing me
Fann Mountains , Sughd Province , Tajikistan .

Goodbye SleeplessOne 🫡
Where’d he go???
Check my above comment
Ah i see bye-bye sleepless one!!!
Wherever life takes him.
Wait what happened?
@CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml (aka SleeplessOne, or SleeplessOne1917) is… gone? I don’t know.
He could be any of us!
He could be you even
N-no. Why’d you say so!? * nervous sweating *
How many hours have you slept recently?
I sleep a lot. Sometimes 10-12h.
How did u all end up in lemmygrad?
I’m a commie.
Discovered Lemmy through looking at the Fediverse wikipedia page and just came across a Lemmygrad post(er) and thought the name was based. By then I had been in a radlib discord server but I knew something was off because they were very pro-ukraine (I’d watched the Boy Boy video about it and felt pretty convinced) and were skeptical of JT, calling him a tankie. Everything in my worldview was vibes-based. I stuck around and lurked this place and Hexbear for like 8 months until I made an account.
Basically everything about communism I know I came to know thanks to the users here and in Hexbear, so I’m eternally grateful for y’all 🫡
Russo-Ukraine war, genzedong made sense, it got purged wawa
I used to lurk on the Marxist subreddits for theory discussions as I was feeling my way through the classics. There were always to many reactionaries and bad faith arguments for me to get involved other than reading. Then I saw a link to here and I’ve been lurking since the beginning. I made an account when I was confident enough with my Marxism to join in.
I’ve got basically the same story, except I disovered lemmygrad later on.
r/genzedong
Through GenZedong
I came here though r/thedeprogram there was a link to this site that was pinned for a time just in case reddit did what it did to r/genzedong to r/thedeprogram. And when reddit terminated my account I came here.
Reddit exodus after they started banning communist subs
Same here.
genzedong purge
its actually very wack that im a moderator here
I joined hexbear when it was still called chapo.chat but stopped using it. Saw a link to lemmygrad on r/genzedong browsed it occasionally but only made an account once the sub got quarantine
My disillusionment in Mormonism and subsequent embrace of atheism is what set me on the path that led me here.
that implies there was a time before the grad
The internet was miserable before the grad 😩
I was aware of it for a while- either from (probably) GenZedong or the deprogram.
Super cute
I think I live for these dog posts
