Being proponents of socialism is not what makes Lemmygrad problematic. If that were the reason world defederated from them then I would actually be upset with the decision.

Can you elaborate? I don't know what this is in reference to.

Which part? I’m just saying their being proponents of Socialism isn’t a problem. The post is saying that’s why we defederated from them, which it isn’t. It was the way people behaved on that instance (and outside it), the way communities operated, that led to the decision.

There's a big difference between socialism and national socialism, one comes with a salute, authoritarianism, and bigotry.

Half of the comments here think the point of the meme is that communists are right-wing, and half thinks the point is that Nazis are left-wing.
