      The ones you posted have had their efforts mocked because they operate within the framework capitalists give them, and are not actually revolutionary. I have watched it happen, many there seem to think if there isn’t violence, then nothing is happening. Also, no, I do not apologize for authoritarian governments, regardless of their alignment with capitalism. Nor do I support censorship of criticisms of places because they aren’t aligned with NATO.

          Yes, when you put a name to it people say they like them. When you say you are doing a specific things organizations like that support those efforts are mocked. Unless you want this to be a case of “don’t believe your lying eyes”.

            I’m really confused what you’re referring to, most of the people I’ve seen shitting on PSL weren’t on .ml, but rather seemed to be Democrats mad that they ran as a third party for President.

              refer to my later comment, it isn’t the organization name, it is a reaction to talking about doing the individual things, things they are doing, and being told it is worthless incrementalism

                You’re being a little too vague for me to follow, what ‘individual things’ are you referring to getting called worthless incrementalism? You do sound like you have an axe to grind though I’m not sure about what

              I have been told, and have seen others get told, that they are wasting their time with incrementalist pipe dreams, when discussing actual things we are doing, things that that organizations like the PSL advocate. Most often those names have a .ml home instance, and this is ignoring the known trolls who are on their 1000th account on .world just trying to start fights. This happens regularly enough that I have all but stopped talking about it because I don’t want to have yet another person trying to argue that I need to be killing MAGA cultists, and blowing up infrastructure, or I am just another one of them. It became mind numbing. It did greatly reduce when I moved to an instance that blocks hexbear, which is probably why I have since been noticing the .ml names.

                I have no way of making a genuine comparison because I don’t know what orgs you’re actually talking about. PSL and FRSO are overall seen very positively on all 3 of the Marxist-aligned instances. Further, neither Hex nor Lemmy.ml nor Grad advocate random adventurist terrorism.

                  You can only speak for yourself, but there are plenty of people on here, and other leftist spaces, that do just that. This does not seem to be a thing in person. Also, you keep getting hung up on the PSL’s reputation. Strip the association, and discuss the very specific things you are doing to advocate for your position, in real life, and you get that. Well maybe not you, as you have brand recognition with a lot of these twats, however, I assure you, it happens to others, fairly regularly, I am also talking about /c/'s not on .ml, .ml people. They have to behave at home.

                    I bring up PSL because you said they specifically were looked down upon originally. Also, not sure what you mean by “brand recognition.”
