The largest piracy community is hosted over at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

lemmy.world has blocked it. It appears to have also blocked !piracy@lemmy.ml.

If this is a problem for you, I'd suggest migrating accounts using LASIM to an instance that doesn't block it (such as lemm.ee).

You seem to worry a lot about "tankies," yet you support piracy. You do know that capitalism is based on being able to produce a good or service and sell it to the highest bidder, right? Piracy is the opposite.

    Why would you think I like capitalism? Tankies are just authoritarians that like red, very little to do with socialism. Like if you're a tankies why support piracy? It's not like there's a strongman who rules over all pirates with an iron fist.

    There is an essentially immeasurable difference between support for anarchy and support for coercive power structures. Marxist-Leninists hope to exchange one coercive power structure for another. It is little different from the imperialism it would hope to supplant. Piracy belongs to anarchy, not Marxism.

    Piracy wouldn't even be possible if it wasn't for the people who actually produce the product being pirated. Anarchy doesn't produce anything but chaos.

    Is capitalism all great? Of course not, but it produced the foundation of piracy in the first place.

    In as much one can say cancer and sickness produces the impetus to create antibodies and vaccines, yes.

    Piracy is not the cure to capitalism. Common sense regulation is the cure to capitalism (see e.g. the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany etc.).
