MODERATORS
Lemmy is majority socialist and not communist. So as most liberals are, they are destined to hate on each other because neither side can pass the 'purity tests' each side cooks up.
Y'all deserve each other most of the time.
I guess you're right. Maybe I should switch to fascist. I'd fit right in.
All communists are at first socialists, communism is a post-socialist mode of production. Liberals on the other hand support capitalism, and do unfortunately outnumber the socialists/communists. It isn't about "purity tests," there are fundamental disagreements among people that cannot be reconciled.
At the most basic level, it's still purity testing.
Not all disagreements are "purity testing."
