Except that the word community and the word community both have important uses within the context of Lemmy, so context doesn't help us.

I don't like overloading words that much. Too vague.
Think Marxism is scientifically flawed? Think anarchism lacks vision? Think infighting is too much? Then it sounds like you'd agree with soulists.
Soulists follow a scientific paradigm that centers psychology and solves psychological problems of human nature in tandem with what Marx called material problems. We view capitalism and the state as social constructs, building upon intersectional feminist theory and addressing them as problems of propaganda and informational warfare.
We don't need to have a revolution to start doing praxis. Overthrowing Capital and the state is one of our big goals, but there's tons we can do to build our society before then, and we're already doing it. We know exactly what our end goal looks like, because we've already done it on a small scale. All we need is to amplify our warfare.
While we have plenty of issues with reactionaries infiltrating the community, our position in these struggles is always to side with the marginalised. Queer, BIPOC, disabled, neurodiverse, etc. If someone has a different perspective than us but still stands with the oppressed, then we stand with them. That's because we don't believe in a single reality, so there's plenty of room for differing views to coexist. It's common for us to believe in all the gods, of every religion, just to be tolerant of everyone. Of course, we leave behind any exclusionary parts of all religions.
Most of us generally agree with this manifesto explaining soulism: https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/a-soulist-manifesto-4d0456dcb75a
Even static PNG ads are purpose engineered to grab your attention. People with attention disorders like ADHD and autism don't have as much attention to give, and when it's gone we're debilitated. We need to start considering cognitohazards a legally prosecutable form of violence.
The utopia of Star Trek was only able to happen because they had a WWIII and the communists won
Bees are a democracy. Sure, they treat outsiders with suspicion and can be radicalised to great violence, but they're one of the only animals on earth that eats without killing anything, not even a plant. And if they don't like their queen, they have a revolution. They're communists.
I don't think a simple misconception can create schizophrenia. It's a complex neurochemical disease with genetic factors
I don't think they think it. I think they got computers slightly faster, because a large corporation drew on the resources its home country had stolen from those places to leverage a monopoly.

Soulism has been the target of a lot of satire and people who don't understand it pretending they do. Gravity is a law that nobody consented to, but it's not high on the soulist agenda. Natural laws we'd rather dismantle include old age, infant mortality, capitalist realism, and what transphobes call "basic biology". Note that the latter two are very clearly myths, but reactionaries claim they are natural laws. Soulists don't believe in reality, so we don't need to draw a semantic distinction between fake natural laws and real ones. We think reality itself is fake.
