This is also where the concept of alienation in the Marxist sense comes in. He took Hegel’s framework, which Feuerbach and Bauer had used to analyse religion and he applied that to law and economics.

So this Marxist alienation which is in the Hegelian tradition is worth reading.

Now alienation can interestingly also be a desired outcome in leftist movements as the French existentialists talked about.

We also have a third brand of alienation in Buddhism etc.

Some want it some hate it.

I’m with Marx on this one.

If you are interested I can find some introductory article for you to take a look at.

Economics is the core of political identity. That I share with Marx.

Yeah being part of smth and identifying as smth are two separate things.

I’m a man, straight, brown, proletariat etc. The question is what part of that do I see as the most fundamental part of my identity or politics.

In a very basic sense (and this may very well be debated but to explain it simply I’ll say): anyone who doesn’t own their own labour, as in you work for someone else.

The most important point of unity for the left is the economics. Political identity must be defined by being the proletariat first and foremost.

When you have people who break that, well their place is questioned.

Ive never seen non anarchists capable of understanding the anarchist perspective. Its like theres some mental block preventing it.

And not just on Lemmy. Just generally, unimaginable idea for people

Now this I haven’t seen at all

Youre an anarchist so I get seeing tankies as right wing. Infact I’m the weird one for not seeing them as right wing but i don’t.

Libs yes are righties

Yeah ‘my honor has been slighted and so i must now escalate’ is quite common.

Character assassinations too.

But yesterday we had 2 fellow dbzer0 folks do this very trolling/ baiting. Which they also planned in the matrix channel. I think I instantly made clear I strongly disliked that. So did the community. And there was an apology luckily.

But we both know there’s one provocateur there. Who I personally always have had lovely chats with. But someone who likes to go looking for trouble.

And thats not an isolated case. Many similar profiles I’ve seen.

I just feel like the parent in the room half the time lol

Talking of the tribalism. How come an anarchist is on .ml

Is the experience there OK?

Yeah, having instance identities really does tap into that very strongly.

Alrighty. Thank you

Ah. Thanks

People keep mentionkmg tagging. I’m on eternity and it doesn’t have the option. Are y’all using your browser for Lemmy or dk other apps have this option too?

Feels like fewer posts and more drama. Constantly being the parent in the room online is annoying.

Unfortunately we won’t be there to see you post it

(I know people can still view posts from people who block them, but the joke only works if we forget that OK)

How long before you are left with no posts on Lemmy?? 😭

So do I. You just might
