They're afraid!

I think the health insurance companies are actually taken by surprise by the amount of people who sincerely wish them death. Maybe we will see some almost-meaningful change soon?

The lemmy.ml in my name for a reason. My realization moment was while I was in the military ironically enough.

Aren't the admins of that instance a bunch of statists who support the government having a monopoly on the use of legitimate violence? As a communist, drag can't support any ideology where the means of production are owned by an elite class of government officials rather than by the people.

I have not experienced that. But I agree with your position otherwise

I would argue that's an issue of perspective, were I to post things that are hypercritical of western propaganda on world, I would be and have been banned there too. Managing propaganda is not the same thing as the claims made above.

Nowhere in that link was there claims that only the state has a monopoly on violence.

Edit: And I have absolutely been critical of Russia on their communities. As for the China critiques, I imagine they're tired of the same western propaganda ad nauseum
