Its a shame because they’re prominent voice on lemmy. Good on the admins for not tolerating this. I don’t understand the point of targeting a person you don’t like on the internet just because they said something that upset you and spamming their post with downvotes. If you don’t like someone block their ass and be done with it. I agree with the perspective that its harassment (and an incredibly petty ineffective form of it at that)

    As for the “lack of democracy,” no, it’s definitely been affirmed as a somewhat flawed, but working democratic system.

    The overwhelming consensus since the fall of the SovUnion by academics has been a rejection of the idea that the Soviet Union was in any way democratic even by socialist academics. But tankies online still pass around the sacred texts from 1938; they could never be wrong!

    You’ve admitted to not being a Marxist yourself, what makes you an authority on Marxism?

    Basic fucking literacy?

    My opinions are largely in line with the overwhelming majority of Marxists

    This may be shocking, but the Soviet Union fell 30 years ago.
