Sorry for the short post, I’m not able to make it nice with full context at the moment, but I want to quickly get this announcement out to prevent confusion:
Unfortunately, people are uploading child sexual abuse images on some instances (apparently as a form of attack against Lemmy). I am taking some steps to prevent such content from making it onto lemm.ee servers. As one preventative measure, I am disabling all image uploads on lemm.ee until further notice - this is to ensure that lemm.ee can not be used as gateway to spread CSAM into the network.
It will not possible to upload any new avatars or banners while this limit is in effect.
I’m really sorry for the disruption, it’s a necessary trade-off for now until we figure out the way forward.
As I said, the question is welcome no matter how tedious I might personally find it, just like any question asked in good faith.
Complete aside: polcomp is a bad way of attempting to understand politics. It has no way of understanding Marxism.

Say something bad about communism.
off-topic
About “communism” itself? What is the scope here? Token criticism is meaningless but I will humor you: I dislike the Khmer Rouge.
I don’t care to hear you say something bad about neoliberalism because it’s the most prized action by anarcho-bidenists to say “NATO bad” and then agree with NATO about most of its enemies.
Everyone should be able to point out flaws in a system, as no system is perfect. Not even communism. So, point out the flaws in communism, in plain English.
Sure, heres some intro-level crit.
Marx was completely off base with his prediction revolution would arise from urban proleitaritized factory workers and intelligentsia in “developed” nations.
Historically, the majority of revolutions have come from rural agricultural workers in the most exploited colonial holdings.
Luckily, communist political theory didn’t end with Marx.
What country has been a good example of communism working?
Edit: TLDR; China, Cuba, Vietnam. None of which is consider great places to live, or particularly in line with Socialism.
What I did learn is, hexbears like to team up for the kill, but trip all over themselves and land on their own… claws? Hilarity.
For the record, I’m a socialist, just not a troll.
In almost every single country it has been deployed in socialism provides a better physical quality of life when compared with capitalism at the same level of development.
And the names are? List form is preferred if you don’t mind.
List within the study and the classifications:
If this image doesn’t display for you(because of the attacks) let me know and I’ll find some other way to share it.
