Do you have anything to back this up? The fact that socialists recognize western imperialism as the primary obstacle to world socialism and eventually communism doesn't mean that our efforts are over once it falls. Once imperialism has ended, you have to begin constructing socialism, which itself is an enormously difficult task. I find the idea that communists don't care about being politically effective extraordinarily off-base.
Communists are absolutely interested in being politically effective.
Tankies and online lefties are only interested in the esthetic of communism. They are not interested in platforming the mechanisms to promote the change needed. It's a fun game to toy and muse with but it has no direction or real world benefits. The discourse never branches out beyond the evils of western hegemony, because that would require concrete thinking and real world politicking, and we can't have that, can we? That would mean an end to the fun little circus that is Lemmy.ml
You were specifically asked if you had any evidence to back up your claims, if you had any that would be a great opportunity to share it and prove yourself right. Unfortunately you have none because you're completely full of shit.
Are you confusing communists shitposting online with communists organizing? Do you think the communists on Lemmy.ml only engage online and not in-person?
Gotta love it when 🤡-level commenting calls somewhere else a circus lmao. Embarrassing level of effort here bucko.
