Yes there are. Specifically I would be a libertarian-congress or an anarco-communist.
However. Regardless of propaganda. One cannot be authoritarian. Or for a strong centralization of authority and State power. And actually be communist. They are conflicting goals. The workers cannot in any meaningful sense control the means of production. When they are oppressed by a dictatorial Vanguard. That imprisons/beats/slaughters any dissenters. The Vanguard owns the means of production in that scenario. They will still tell you that they are you. Even as they strangle and stomp on you. However it's just a sick joke.
Conversely, actual libertarianism. Left libertarianism. Especially the kind advocated for by the originator of libertarianism Dejacque, as well as anarchism. Are in near complete and total harmony with communism. The only rub being how absolute the call from Mutual Aid is and how voluntary it is. Both ideologies being heavily predicated on consent and freedom.

What is with the weirdly shaped emojis.

ugh its back

Over on the linked page? They've got custom "emojis", which are just pictures uploaded by an admin. Lemmy has that feature in general, but it's not used much on other instances. If it's enabled on your instance, you can type
:to select from all regular emojis plus custom ones. -
I know, but why are they so big.

And IPv6 won’t be that much harder, it’s only… uh… 32 hex digits
I'm still salty that IPv6 is not 6 octets. Six. It's right there in the name. IPv4 is 4 octets!

Oh please. Principles are like asses: everyone's got one, and everyone thinks it's other peoples's that stink.
Many things are worth nil on principle. It's the execution that matters.

You mean the French and Russians didn't own slaves. But the Bolsheviks did kill millions.
[Soviet Genocide and Mass Murder Since 1917]

And in the French revolution, just one single man killed thousands of people.
https://www.worldhistory.org/Reign_of_Terror/
[This led to the enactment of the Law of Suspects, which allowed for the arrests of between 300,000 and half a million citizens nationwide. 16,594 of these 'suspects' were formally executed after a trial, while around 10,000 died in prison, and thousands more were killed in various massacres staged across France. It is estimated that the total death toll during the ten-month Reign of Terror rests anywhere between 30-50,000.]
Did you really think I couldn't back up my statement with facts? How is the Reign of Terror in France and the mass genocide in the USSR in any way "equivalent" to the American and Haitian revolutions?

I’m not the one pushing GOP or FSB propaganda here.
The point is that the GOP promised "smaller government" and delivered a big government proliferation of victimless crimes. Where do you think they got that con job propaganda from? Lenin did exactly the same thing but on an even bigger scale.

That first link is pure cold warrior nonsense on par with the black book of communism. As for the second, I defer to the words of Mark Twain:
“THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.”
Truthfully I support all of those revolutions as historical processes which have brought about necessary change, but the Haitians and the Russians fighting for their freedom from Slavery and Capitalism respectively are much more commendable than the Americans doing so because they didn't want to slow down their westward expansion.

Lenin and Stalin did more harm to socialism than any other people in the entire history of mankind. You are a 20th century fossil. Soviet genocide are well documented facts. Here you go...

literally a fiction book. You might as well cite fucking Animal Farm.
btw I'm giving your comment exactly as nuanced and in-depth a look as it deserves.

Thanks for that. In this day and age, hearing something positive is a bliss, even it’s just deradicalizing hexers.
