Despite all my rage

Plz open up issues for these in lemmy-ui, its hard for me to keep track of comments to this post, and that is a legitimate bug.

Distinguish as moderator terminology comes from reddit, so its probably best to leave as is.

Thx for opening. Also be sure to open a bug on lemmy-ui if one doesn’t exist. Going to be tough to solve because neither of us have iOS devices.

I also don’t have an iOS device to test on, so its going to be tough to figure out.

The US only overthrew a few european governments (Italy, Greece, Russia, Poland, Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Georgia). Not enough for them to care.

You won’t be able to do this then. You’d need to learn your way around linux, servers, ssh, etc to be able to run these services.

Bots most likely. People creating many accounts on the more open signup servers, then running local bots that mass downvote certain users.

Downvote bots are IMO the current biggest spam vector on lemmy. Unlike posts / comments, its harder to detect that its a bot / AI doing it.

The next lemmy version will have the option to disable federated downvotes, which will make them all moot.

What right does the US have operating its military on the other side of the globe?

If you run any services (jellyfin / a media server, torrents, document storage, etc), have them run on it.

Cowbee constantly proving that anti-communism relies on ignorance and bigotry, and the correct way to counter it is to soberly repeat the facts about existing or previously existing communist states, removing the accumulated moss piled on year after year by liberal / capitalist-controlled media and educational institutions.

8 dead accounts were being used to follow and downvote your posts.

Wrong again. The working class is the owner of production, and elect and delegate managers dedicated to this task.

Name me a single grouping of any kind that doesn’t have managers, leaders, or organizers.

But that implies that the members of the party are actually part of the proletarian class. This supposed class membership is purely idealist.

You are incorrectly defining class. This essence of class is: who controls the means of production, and who decides what to do with the surplus value created, and who it goes to benefit.

State administrators (uncharitably bureaucrats as you would call them) are not a class. They do not privately owns means of production, nor collect the surplus value of workers, deciding privately what to do with it. What to do with the surplus, and production decisions, are determined by decision making at the collective, political-level, not at the private level. This means they are not driven by profit motives, since increasing exploitation personally gains them nothing.

Monopoly means that only a small amount of agents get access to it.

That was precisely the case. Durruti’s column especially found that any “decentralized” command structure breaks down quickly into interminable squabbles, and like any revolutionary army, had to institute a strict hierarchy and centralized control. Most but not all anarchist groups accepted this centralized control as a necessity.

I suggest reading the tyranny of structurelessness on why “anti-authoritarian” groupings always end up either destroying themselves, or in cults of personality due to their individualist rejection of rules, organization, and structures of authority.

Authoritarianism: The degree to which a power structure monopolizes control over the total social implementation of some power.
Domination: The degree to which some power structure utilizes coercion, violence, and/or deception to achieve its ends.

What existing collective doesn’t fit this definition? Because by this definition, the anarchist controlled areas of republican spain then, were deeply authoritarian.

When reading / practicing I never use the pinyin, so I can get used to recognizing them. Ya it def helps, otherwise I’d rely too much on pinyin.
