I’m fine with them being communists. I’m also fine with them not moderating things. I’m not fine with them denying genocides or denying repressive facts about historical or present socialist regimes.

I kinda side eye people who don’t have nuanced takes about North Korea

Genuinely curious, what kind of nuanced take is there around North Korea to be had? My impression is it’s basically a slave state with a God King.

As a leftist the only positive take I have about most of these states is that A. The ideas were new and they didn’t know better, or B. The situation they came from was so bad they were justified to try something, but then they got power and grew authoritarian as people do. For instance I think Cuba had every reason to revolt. I also think Castro was a repressive dictator.

Introducing lemmy.world/c/autism

Honestly I kinda like /c/neurodivergence for several reasons:

  1. I think that classifications of neurotypes are something not quite finished or maybe even fundamentally flawed. There is so much overlap, I like the label neurodivergence. It will outlast DSM relabeling.

  2. The community is small. One big group is better than many smaller groups.
