ML is short for Marxism-Leninism, the ideology developed by Stalin (without the involvement of Marx or Lenin) which recommends purges and genocide to ensure sufficient loyalty to the state while the state guides society towards communism out of the goodness of its heart.

And which says the goodness of the state is ensured because communist dictators and high officials don't legally own the nation so they have no incentive to exploit anyone for their own benefit or accumulation of power.

According to MLs, North Korea is doing great, withstanding a fierce capitalist onslaught that is corrupting its citizens with promises of food security. I don't know how they explain the difference with China.

afaik, lemmy.ml was registered to the Mali internet domain because its founders are MLs and wanted the ".ml".

Just making shit up when you can ask hundreds of communists.

I've asked lots of communists. Just the sort of communists that ML states invariably want to exterminate. You know, the weirdos that want to abolish private and state property and stop people from being alienated from their labor.
