Asklemmy

Again, thank you for trying to explain.

I consider I understand enough to answer then. Please don't take my judgements personally or as an insult.

I think this is biased view of the socialists of Lemmy. They have a critical support (mostly positive and negative on the negative parts) of the people revolution of 1917 in Russia and the Soviet union. They also have a critical support of China and encroyages it's socialist ways, they are the biggest communist lead country today and a wonderful counter power to the US and EU imperialism (the enabler of capitalism, don't mix up other weird definitions). They have a small critical support of Russia, because even though they can't support it's government for its ideology, it also participates in anti-US imperialism. Socialists don't praise authoritarian "regimes" (yep, that's a clue of propaganda regurgitation). Socialists do support something also called dictatorship, but it's the dictatorship of proletariat, to reverse the current dictatorship of the bourgeoisie

What leads liberal (which is the idealogy of capitalism, not any another weird definition) instances of Lemmy to defedarate is because... they are liberal. It is difficult for people evolving in a liberal society, drenched in daily capitalist propaganda to accept challenging views
