In other thread I got vibe that majority of Lemmy users support communism and CCP. Is support for Russia/Putin? Or have I just stumble in a post dominated by those people.
I also read a phrase “lemmy.ml” user. Is lemmy.ml instance considered communist?
I understand there will be more left leaning users in Lemmy compared to Reddit. But I expected moderate left and not radical communist left.
What is your opinion on that?
What is it called where you believe in the validity of authority but only on a conditional level?
I’m really not sure, I’m not the biggest theory person tbh. Depending on what you’re thinking of, that could just be anarchy.
I don’t want to assume what you mean, but if you’re perhaps talking about something along the lines of following and listening to experts, then that’s understood to be a positive thing to us anarchists. To use a painfully fresh example, following scientists/medical professionals on public health decisions, rather than conspiracy theorists
Like… to start off, I’ve heard of what is referred to as Minarchy, which etymologically means a minimal government (or one run by “voluntarism”), but that doesn’t sound like what I convey. “Relationship anarchy” (one would say a principle of mine, and I look to that here) for one has often been placed under the umbrella of libertarian thought but it’s closer to a conditional thing. If there are things I’d refer to as a creator (my parents, the sun if it were sentient, maybe God, etc.), I would obey them and not be “anarchist” towards them, as I also may towards peers and contemporaries on a basis of agreement, or towards people who create a club/service so as long as it’s within the bounds of what they made (think back to relationship anarchy), even bypassing my own sense of voluntarism/liberty in the process, but a ruler (whether or not elected) that says “[from the moment you’re born] I am automatically your authority because that’s just how it works”, that’s not (unless agreed to in hindsight by an individual) valid if you ask me. Note good and bad derivatives/foundations, which also explains my comments surrounding subsidiarism and localism; at least in a town context, there is some increased level of regard to what I’m saying.
