    This meme, again?!
    I do not understand the argument. Are you implying that being communist automatically pins you in the pro CCP?
    My country is socialist. My family is socialist. All my friends are socialists. I love socialism.
    By following the same logic, does that mean that I am considered a Nazis lover?

      No but many of the lemmy.ml founders embrace communism without evening considering how many people have been killed under that banner.

      When I first heard about the communism I assumed that the were just far left socialists. It turns out they straight up worship communist leader

        What banner? Are you under the impression that communism is some kind of monolith? If you’re referring to the soviet union say that, or China, or whoever else you’re specifically accusing of mass murder. The term communism refers to hundreds of different political ideologies and many different countries. Many of whom have next to nothing to do with each other.
