I’m asking because I wonder if Lemmy having a left wing, progressive, socialist, communist bent means Reddit was coming down hard on those ideologies (biased if you will) than right leaning, centrist or free market Capitalist ideologies?

Side question, if Lemmy grows do you think the same will happen here?

    Not really.

    I don’t want to murder etsy quilters for participating in capitalism and I’m comfortable hearing opinions I don’t agree with, so the lemmigarchs and groupthink-meme-peasantry both get angry at me a lot here.

      As a communist, we don’t get mad at people selling quilts on etsy; we more or less question people who either aren’t self-managing their services or have no co-ops. The petite bourgeoisie are people who have a surplus of labour, which is exploitative.

      You monster. Quilters are clearly privileged time possessors! Your lack of willingness to kill them tells me everything. /S

        Already replied to the original person, but this isn’t what communists are mad at; there’s a MAJOR difference between the petite bourgeoisie and self-managed goods and services. It’s the surplus of labour at traditional businesses which are considered bourgeois, not having co-ops or self-produced products.
