More like an il duce. Lenin's idea of democracy (in practice) is a lot like Mussolini's idea of "democracy." I don't think Hitler ever tried to pretend like Germany was democratic
Explanation: The Bolsheviks gained power through a coup in Russia to create the Soviet Union, whereas in the free elections that actually happened, they didn't even get a quarter of the vote
also the governance in Ukraine that Lenin desperately wanted to crush was anarcho-communist (called by most Ukrainians anarchism because communism as a term has been so heavily associated with the real bad times)
You’re entitled to believe whatever you want, but when your political ideology includes supporting/encouraging/performing violence towards anyone who doesn’t agree with you, then yeah, you’re no longer invited to be a part of civil discussion.

I was not sure this decision was the right one. But the experience on Lemmy is far better without them, so I guess it was.

The election ended and they shut down the bot farms

I think they finally got it into their head that they simply aren't welcome amongst decent folk, other than a few stragglers.

I still havent been able to block an entire instance (hexbear) yet even though Summit shows the option (it doesn't seem to work)

I just chose an instance that blocked grad and hexbear. You can’t manually block them.
JudahBenHur@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 1y
Ive blocked nearly every hexbear community individually.. every now and again a new one pops up and i block it. last one was "cats"
