Which instances have the most diverse points of view?

[olgaabi@lemmy.ml]

so you are not a vanguardist?

or am I wrong about vanguardism being bad?

please elaborate

[cowbee@lemmy.ml]

Usually blahaj has liberals and US Empire-friendly Anarchists. There aren't really any Marxists I've seen in any significant numbers, and 196 maintains anti-Marxist rules.

[cowbee@lemmy.ml]

You're describing different phenomena under the same title, which only adds confusion and not clarity. You should read Lenin, Imperialism isn't that long and it describes the modern form of Capitalism very accurately.

[olgaabi@lemmy.ml]

I actually belive the state in its current form to be a tool of economical, personal and class opression

and I belive no state can exist without at least 2 of the above, but I want none of the above

[cowbee@lemmy.ml]

What's your proposed solution?

[yogthos@lemmy.ml]

You are wrong about vanguarism being bad because history clear shows that it is the most reliable method for actually combating capitalism. Anarchists refuse to accept this basic reality and continue advocating approaches that have failed time and again for over a century now. It's quite telling that this ideology exists primarily in the western imperial core.

i started a free speech community

Which one is it?

[chadmctruth@lemmy.world]

not telling

[communism@lemmy.ml]

Imagine your issue with .world being that it's too left-wing

[communism@lemmy.ml]

It's detached from reality because you're just randomly chucking in some political terms you learned on reddit under an unrelated comment thinking it's some kind of slam-dunk.

[electric_nan@lemmy.ml]

There's communities I like on .world, so I just ban the most insufferable users and comms.

[olgaabi@lemmy.ml]

no, I just think that freedom is more important than defeating capitalism

I'd rather take my hrt, guns and free speech over a vanguard, sorry

also see how it has worked in russia, how the soviet union has defeated capitalism and how capitalist western germany was almost economically stronger than the entire ussr (including eastern germany)

[olgaabi@lemmy.ml]

if I had to choose I'd rather end all hirarchy

[olgaabi@lemmy.ml]

oh, yes I belive it is, why else is russia invading ukraine?

[olgaabi@lemmy.ml]

no, I know what a vanguard party is and that I don't support it, now we're arguing about why I don't support it

[sudoer777@lemmy.ml]

If by "diverse" you mean "has western conservatives", then considering how the entire concept of the fediverse is progressive, you're not going to find many of them here. On Reddit, there's r/AskPolitics which overall leans liberal and is US centric but is more open to discussion than other subreddits. There's some other debate subreddits as well which you might be interested in. They're helpful for developing political views, but after that hearing the same BS from people who have fundamentally different values gets tiring and people leave so that's why there aren't many of those spaces.

If you're open to viewpoints that are opposed to both Republican and Democrat, leftist instances like lemmy.ml, Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and dbzer0 have that, and they can have very different stances on other issues as well (i.e. Lemmygrad vs dbzer0). They can still be echo-chambery (which is hard to avoid) but they also tend to have more users that are interested in intellectual debate.

As far as what instance actually has the most diverse points of view, I'd say lemm.ee which federates with basically everybody and I've seen users there from all over the political spectrum. However, there's isn't much in terms of political discussion there compared to other instances.

[m532@lemmygrad.ml]

Typical westerner living off the people of the global south's labor

Of course you dont want change with your fuck you got mine attitude

[db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

There's some peeps who claim they're anarchist on hexbear, but end up parroting the same ML-talking points about AES and often have similar toxic behaviour towards those who disagree with the groupthink. If any are there, they're basically campists, like the rest. For example of such campist anarchist takes, you can take a look at abolitionmedia. But ultimately these anarchists are pretty isolated from the larger anarchist movement.

I use a different account, banned from the exceptions, to lurk them.

Blahaj zone will ban you at the drop of a hat based on political belief.
