@Clu5teR I wouldn't recommend collaboration between anarchists and Trotskyists. In addition to the historical negative consequences that anarchists have experienced as a result of collaborating with authoritarian forces, there are too many inherent contradictions and divergent goals between anarchists and Trotskyists. Instead of seeking collaboration with ideologies that fundamentally contradict, it's more productive to focus on building alliances with groups that share common goals.

@pinkdrunkenelephants @Clu5teR If it's something like genocide then it would be useful for leftists of different kinds, like anarchists and Trotskyists, to work together, but I'm not talking about genocide, I'm talking about opposing/abolishing capitalism and and creating a communist society, in which case I don't think it would be useful for anarchists and Trotskyists to collaborate due to their many contradictory methods and goals.

@Friar Communism advocates for the full inclusion and empowerment of disabled people within society. Central to communist principles is the idea of equality and solidarity among all individuals, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. In a truly communist society, disabled individuals would have equal access to resources, opportunities, and support systems to enable them to participate fully in social, economic, and political life.

@Rob200 The portrayal of communist in mainstream media very inaccurate to how the average communist is in real life. Communist, like all groups of people, are made up of diverse groups of people. Some communist are nice, and others are not; it really depends on the individual, and regardless of their personality, it has nothing to do with them being a communist.

@Rob200 @divergency Authoritarian communism shifted towards capitalism due to various factors, including economic reforms and political changes. This shift often occurred as authoritarian regimes sought to adapt to global economic trends and pressures, leading to privatization and the emergence of market-oriented policies.

@Rob200 @divergency The appropriate political climate for libertarian communism to be realized is one that values grassroots democracy, decentralization, and collective ownership of resources. As of right now, I don't think there are many countries that fit this description, so in order for libertarian communism to be realized Libertarian Communists will have to work to create these conditions.

@Radical_EgoCom My country - Austria - now has a communist mayor in one of our larger cities: https://www.thenation.com/article/world/elke-kahr-interview/ Sadly the national communist party (KPÖ) on the other hand is making a bad impression (for the upcoming 2 large elections) because of their good relations with Russia. However: isn't that the main problem of communists in most democratic western countries nowadays?While most right-wing populists are actually being paid by Russia, but THEIR voters don't even care?!

@eveaustria I did research on the National Communist Party of Austria, and I have unfavorable feelings regarding them. Although I appreciate their advocacy for socialist and communist policies, the nationalistic element of their party are completely opposed to the internationalist solidarity of communism, which is uncomfortably reminiscent of the nationalism of the Soviet Union, and based on this its no surprise that they're so friendly towards a nationalistic country like Russia.

I was actually thinking about supporting them since they are anti-fascists and actually do think a LOT more "globally" than many other Austrian parties. Talking about wanting to fight world hunger and exploitation of workers in goods chains, and so on. https://www.kpoe.at/wofuer-wir-stehen/international/Unfortunately though they do not want to support Ukraine against the Russian murderers anymore, so... *sigh*

@unspeaker The regimes of the Warsaw Pact did not truly embody communism. Those states were characterized by authoritarianism, centralized control, and lack of genuine worker ownership and control over the means of production. Thus, while the Warsaw Pact states may have nominally identified as communist, they deviated significantly from communist principles.

@vipuri Communism advocates for the abolition of private property and the establishment of collective ownership of resources. While the NAP asserts that the initiation of force against individuals or their property is inherently wrong, communism argues that private property itself is a form of violence and exploitation, as it allows a minority to control and profit from the resources that should be collectively owned by all.

@vipuri Regarding private property, communism seeks to abolish it entirely, particularly in the means of production, such as factories, land, and natural resources, as it leads to inequality, exploitation, and the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few, advocating instead for the collective ownership and management of these resources by the workers and the community.

Embracing it ensures democratized digital tools, aligning with communist principles of communal empowerment and liberation from profit-driven systems.
