Maybe that's why you hate it but my annoyance is more at people who reflexively feel they win every argument by calling the other person a liberal because they don't believe that the CCP is a corruption-free bastion of good will and a perfect example for the world to follow.

You can be a communist and still legitimately criticize the CCP though you wouldn't know it from the 4 people posting all the articles and leading every discussion at Lemmygrad

Ehh... I just realized I don't care. I was thinking about how sad it is that people post so prolifically and emphatically to the same 15 people while believing that they're making a difference and fighting the good fight. Then I realized that arguing with them is equally as pointless. I mean this is the biggest thread I've ever seen on Lemmy and it's about why it's so unsuccessful. If people want to have a tiny club where they dictate their specific flavor of communism and call everyone else is a liberal, go for it. I'd call it an echo chamber but it's too small - echoes need some space to generate. Lemmygrad is tiny little groups of people congratulating each other on believing the exact same thing and being obnoxiously insufferable to anyone whose opinions only match 98%. You're cosplay revolutionaries. You change nothing and inspire no one but you sure feel like badasses while regurgitating the same lines to each other.
