Lemmy.ml is run by MLs for the most part, so even if this isn’t an explicitly Communist instance there is Communist sympathy. The user you are replying to takes issue with that.
Nonsense, I’m a communist. I love it when people want to create a society where the workers own the means of production. I think you’ve made a false equivalence to reach that conclusion about me.
I’m using Communist to refer to what most people understand as Communist. I’m sure you have your own opinions on what that constitutes and how, but they are definitely not the standard or traditional readings of Marxist Communism.
Yeah, those are the two things you made a false equivalence between. Communism and Marxist Communism. If you think Marxism is the only kind of communism, you won’t be able to acknowledge anarcho-communists. That’s probably why a lot of people say you don’t respect anarchists.
I don’t assume Anarcho-Communism isn’t a form of Communism, but I do find it more intuitive to say Communism for Marxism, and Anarchism for Anarchism, as that’s what occupies most people’s minds. I do respect Anarchists, actually, I don’t know what you mean by saying a “lot of people say I don’t respect Anarchists.”
Well you said I had an issue with communism. Knowing I’m an anarchist, that’s very misleading. Your intuitive language is causing you to disrespect anarcho-communism, you should change it.
I feel that this is just being disingenuous, but I’ll keep your suggestion in mind. You appear to have issues with Marxism, then, or at least the Marxist conception of Communism, and that’s why you made your original comment, or appears to be why.
Further still, I don’t know what you mean by saying a “lot of people say I don’t respect Anarchists.” Mind elaborating?
My explanation was for Hexbear’s Anarchists, for one, and for two, none of the people there seemed to imply I don’t respect Anarchists. I’m aware db0 disagrees with both me and Hexbear’s Anarchists, and I’m aware the non-Hexbear Anarchists tend to agree more with db0 on the Lemmy space. Further still, db0 was representing my argument, not letting me make it.
This doesn’t imply that I don’t respect Anarchists, and I think that’s slander.

Did you switch from anarchism to communism in the last month? https://reddthat.com/post/36317630
No, I’ve been an anarcho-communist for years.

Here’s db0’s post about your views on anarchism, and tons of anarchists disagreeing with you. https://reddthat.com/post/28075936
