  • No. I think it’s fine, but not a real alternative to Capitalism. It seems like the sort of thing developed by an anticapitalist who accepts the Capitalist framing of history (“Capitalism is just when you trade things or have money”).

    I would classify this sort of thing as Ultra-Leftist - a movement seeking to skip the necessary steps in the development of Capitalism into Socialism and Socialism into Communism by just “doing Communism” at the local community level and saying “Well if everyone just did it, we’d be living in a Communist Utopia!”

    There is no skipping the steps. The abolition of work is the final step, not the first.















  • I’m happy with it. I’ve gotten a few temporary suspensions for saying things that I still believe I had a right to say - but that’s the thing, they’re temporary suspensions for a reason. You sit through them, seethe a little bit, and champ at the bit for the opportunity to say the same thing again but angrier.

    The only instances Lemmygrad defederates with are porn and fascist instances, which I think is fine - I’m not anti-porn, but you just make a second account for that stuff.

    The only things that I think the Lemmygrad admins have a hard time adjudicating are “Internet Leftist” boutique issues - stuff that is rarely taken seriously by actual people in the real world but weirdos on the Internet think are very important.
