So you know the Lemmy instance Lemmy.world? Well, there is another instance called hexbear… Which is full of hardcore, Stalinist communist. And every user of every other instance hates them
Why do people always put labels on them as if that’s the reason they are idiots. It’s not. There just a bunch of obnoxious trolls that have made it their mission to annoy other instances.
Fearful that a high-level national hero might be killed, Soviet officials banned Gagarin from participating in further spaceflights. After completing training at the Zhukovsky Air Force Engineering Academy in February 1968, he was again allowed to fly regular aircraft. However, Gagarin died five weeks later, when the MiG-15 that he was piloting with flight instructor Vladimir Seryogin crashed near the town of Kirzhach
There’s nothing inherently wrong with Marxism though (not that you said there was, I just get the impression some people are calling them socialists as if it’s inherently an evil thing), they’re entitled to their opinions on an alternative to capitalism, it doesn’t make them bad or weird people.
I gather from what I’ve read here that people mostly don’t get along with them because they are awful, terrible people (and honestly may not even be proper Marxists but maybe just posers, using it as a perfunctory label, idk).
I’d gladly be friends with a Marxist, but friends with an authoritarian, or a xenophobe, etc? Absolutely not. Regardless of their other political or economic opinions.
I’m an anarchist myself, so marxists are my brothers and sisters. So far, I’ve only seen displays of great inclusiveness from them (apart from telling me to fuck off, lol). However there’s a lot of different types over on hexbear, some of them definitely being angry edgy teenagers. Still, definitely not a xenophobic bunch. I feel the general sentiment isn’t warranted.
Similar experience. Great experiences until saying something that gets misconstrued due to lack of context and pitchforks come out. Then, some continue positive interactions and mods step in to curb unwarranted hostility. Still, despite getting singed a bit, it’s overall been incredibly inclusive.
Instance is hexbear.net, check it out for yourself, doesn’t work in browser for me without an account but it does work in liftoff without one for some reason.
It is weird that a lot of commenters here want to tell you what they are but don’t say how to find this information by yourself.
Then they might find out the “they’re all just tankies!” line is a lie, there’s shitty people on all instances, just so happens this one leans very left beyond neo liberalism and therefore it’s bad!
Throw in that they all totally support Putin and Mao and don’t really support LGBT! And you’ve got most normies nodding along with defederating
It’s a lemmy instance full of edge lords who are pro-totiltarian communism. The bulk of them think Mao and Stalin were good. Deny any atrocities committed by USSR/China. Also, for some reason tend to be super pro Russia. Due to NATO being on the opposite side they support Russia and call Ukrainian/NATO nations Nazis.
I’ve read all the comments here and still don’t have a clue what a hexbear is

I mean being a Stalinist and being an idiot are kind of one and the same are they not?
Sure, but there are plenty of people over there that are not Stalinsts, but still obnoxious trolls.
It kinda seems to go Hand in Hand though…
By definition, smart people are not commies doe
That’s the most tellingly ignorant comment itt.
First man in space not smart I guess
Commies smh
Yep no technology in Communist countries, just your basic fire and wheels.
Ah. So like the famous lines „everything that touches the light“ „what about the dark spot over there?“ „don’t ever go there“
That’s right, Simba
They’re marxists-leninists, not stalinists…

Stalin invented the term Marxist-Leninist. Before that they were just called Leninists.
Why would I put is so much energy as to hate them?

Not true! I love that bunch.
Of course the tankie bootlickers like them.
“ And every user of every other instance hates them”
This doesn’t even rise to the level of pseudo intellectual.
Naw they’re funny af

I’d like to meet these people. I wonder if they’re real.
My theory is that they are just russian bots
AI’s gonna make this tricky :S
I hope that’s all but there’s a lot of people on this planet and plenty of them are insane.
That’s an entirely deranged theory
