I fled Reddit due to the authoritarian mod craziness, but Lemmy.world seems infested with too much Communist craziness. I’m leftist, but communism is idiocy. Is there an instance that leans more democratic socialist but refrains from going off the deep end?

    Tribal societies that don’t have advanced industrialization have a separate Mode of Production from “Socialism” in the Marxian sense. No racism at all.

      Yeah, but on the other hand, socialism is when the people own the means of production, and the Haudenosaunee have/had way more of that than USSR and China.

        I disagree, tribal societies could only have that kind of relation by virtue of being small. In the age of modern industry, this is no longer feasible while maintaining large-scale manufacturing.
