We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Interesting they chose Paraguay of all places, the country that had extremely anti-racist policies in the beginning of the 19th century. This was 1893 though, long past those ideas were gone.
Racism, anti drinking, anti divorce, communist? What’s up with racists and this odd mix? Israel has it going on too. So many “great communes.”
There's nothing contradictory in it. This specific mix was never hugely popular but it doesn't require any cognitive dissonance, all of those are separate ideas.
Communes, to some degree, require alignment on morals and ideas of you do not have a state and a monopoly on violence. Even anarchist communes while technically encouraging cooperation through mutual reliance and that if one does something bad the others can choose not to associate with that individual and not cooperate with them.
Some people take this idea and suggest that alignment based on solidarity of the working class towards each other based on their material circumstances and relation to the means of production is not by itself - enough, and that you need a common "culture" or in the extreme - an ethnostate.
That's roughly what Mussolini was saying in "The Doctrine of Fascism", and there are many fascists and nationalists who believe communism is possible only amongst white people, or even just people of the same ethnic and cultural background.
I don't agree with it, but that's at least my interpretation of how economic egalitarianism and collectivism can work with darwinist racist views.
If you also do not agree with it, that is why being a "brocialist" is bad, you should of course focus in on the economic matters and be a materialist in all things, but Marx isn't end all be all of progressiveness and in the modern day if you want to actually be woke - you need to also incorporate intersectionality into your views of social injustices like LGBTQ rights and gender equality and anti-racism, lest you leave that door open all the way to the 'third position'.
You wouldn't want to be this silly, would ya?
It's not communism if it's racist or nationalist. ~~Or has billionaires. Or lets capitalists win lawsuits again its citizens when they get mad that a flawed product killed their dad.~~
It's just fascism if you subtract all the things that make communism communist.
