I don’t see why Deng is relevant here when this is against all branches of Marxism
They’re calling us Dengists because most of us support China (even after Deng’s post-Mao market reforms) as a socialist project, but since modern China is one of the Great Evil Authoritarian states by their reckoning, the term is meant as a pejorative. It’s basically “tankie” but with anti-Chinese characteristics.
I’m sure you’re right, just wanted to tease the fact that they are just being anti-communist in general out. Hiding behind being “anti-Dengist” is a pejorative of convenience for them, but all of their issues apply to Marxism broadly.
I didn’t say Marxists were anarchists or anarchists were Marxists. I stated that your issues with “Dengists” are just issues you have with Marxists coated in a less left-punchy way. Deng himself was a Marxist-Leninist working with the struggles brought about from the Gang of Four and the Cultural Revolution, socialism is still the mode of production in the PRC.
As for “centering Marxism,” I was addressing your complaints of being dogpiled on by Marxists on an instance dominated by Marxists. There are many anarchist users on Lemmy.ml, and they share their views as well without resorting to thinly-veiled attacks on Marxists.
Apparently these anarchists are in hiding because all I see is Dengists in every direction.
If there are really anarchists reading this, perhaps scared to speak up because you don’t want to cross the Dengists who clearly control the discourse here:
I didn’t write this essay for spiteful Marxists; rather, it’s a heartfelt tribute to young anarchists, urging you to persist in your pursuit of anarchy and resist the pressure from these patronising bores to conform to their conservative values. I see so many of you expressing frustration over Marxists mocking your positions. This essay serves as a form of prefiguration, encouraging newer anarchists to envision a more creative and liberating path than the all-too-common ancom to authcom pipeline.
We all need to stop centering the egos of Marxists in everything we do.
You’ve been attacking “Dengists” for standard Marxist positions. Further, again, nothing here is about “centering egos,” I’m explaining why your thinly-veiled hit piece on Marxists is getting a response from Marxists you’ve attacked.
Maybe you should lay out a 5 year plan for sockpuppet production and distribution across the anarchist comms on lemmy, get input on it from 4 other alts, then run a great purge where you ban 2 of them.

Who is centering the egos of Marxists?

buddy you have a triple digit number of sockpuppet accounts, I think the gravitational pull of that ego is clearly much more relevant
if i were using multiple accounts the discourse in this place wouldn’t be so fucking insipid.

that would require me to give a shit about influencing lemmy
