Socialism by definition is not anti establishment. It's anti current establishment but the philosophy is geared towards a bigger government "establishment".

[–] migo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 55 points 10 months ago (2 children)

No, it is not. Socialism does not mean statism. Please feel free to read up on libertarian socialism, Anarcho syndicalism or even eco socialism. The Greens/EFA in europe lean towards libertarian socialism.

Libertarian socialist here: Say it again for the people at the back.

I was 100% not aware if libertarian socialism. Definitely something to learn about. Thank you

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (4 children)

I'm pretty sure that's the difference between anti establishing and anti government. the "establishment" is the established power structure. technically fascists ARE anti establishment in most places. and that's a very good thing.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Are they tho

Republicans are going mask off, Italy is run by fascists again, AfD is at 20%, Putin is invading neighbors and bankrolling white supremacists world wide, Israel's engaging in open genocide, their neighbors wish they could do the same, the second largest party in Sweden was founded by Neo-Nazis...

Don't forget India's BJP/VHP/RSS ecosystem.

Depends which sense of "socialism" you mean, purely Marxist socialism perhaps, socialism in general no.

I think that's the difference: Pirate Bay and Silkroad knew they were inherently anti-establishment, but it seems to me that Parler and Gab think of themselves as "alternative establishment" or something.

Pirate Bay was never trying to compete with Netflix or Steam-- it's conceptually very different. But Parler very much wants (wanted?) to just be Twitter but with right-wing politics.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Parler and gab just want to be mask-off racist twitter/facebook. Nothing anti-establishment there at all.

Pirate Bay and Silk Road were knowingly breaking the law in nearly every nation on earth and trying to avoid capture doing so, both failed to do so by various degrees. This is anti-establishment as they are flagrantly disobeying copyright and narcotics laws at these two sites.

Pirate Bay is still operational, just not by the original owner. I don’t know about Silk Road as I have no interest in drugs

[–] notasandwich1948@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

pretty sure silk road is gone irrc. I could be thinking of something else tho.

[–] Hexasphertate@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago

Silk road is long gone but there are a plethora of other similar markets. Just like any other service in demand when one gets shutdown three more pop up in it's place.

[–] 1stTime4MeInMCU@mander.xyz 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That’s a great distinction, I’m gonna start stealing that.

Some people aren’t anti establishment, they are anti-not-my-establishment. You can’t call yourself anti establishment if you just don’t like the current one.

It's simpler than that: fascists lie.

Those fucks who run Parler aren’t anti-establishment, quite the opposite, they are boot licking fascists.

My dad always said "Don't trust a man in a suit telling you who's wrong" but then again he fell in line with Trump when he grew old.

Christ, if that happens to me, kill me.

[–] hex_m_hell 8 points 10 months ago

Don't worry, he did it so you won't get a chance to.

I don't know what this is referring to, but GoDaddy can suck an entire warehouse of cocks.

I demand the government force this private company to provide me free speech.

I would advice against hosting servers in Russia, though. Police raids on datacenters, where they literally rip servers out from the racks, are, unfortunately, a common occurence.

Fascists aren't anti establishment. Their whole thing is doing even worse things to preserve capitalism when it enters crisis.

[–] crackajack@reddthat.com 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They become the establishment.

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, they always were. That's the point of fascism. To present an "alternative" that keeps the same group in power.

We are on the anti establishment platform my guy

I'm not a dev. What's a mirror? Sorry for being uncool.

[–] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 35 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Basically a copy of the infrastructure, so that you can switch over, if the first/main instance is lost (by a government, for example).

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Hate when the government loses my servers :(

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 10 months ago

Literally a server standing by and doing the same thing as the other by being a backup in case the 1st gets taken down.

Gab has their own server infrastructure.
