It is definitely failing lol but idea that some strong man is going to come to save us from the current strong men is laughable ;)

When you’ve definitely read theory

The platform was never there, lmao. It isn’t deplatforming. Hexbear has a democratic federating process that takes longer.

In what manner does Hexbear advocate for expanding predatory IMF loans to the Global South, and exporting machinery and industrial Capital directly to the source of the Raw Materials so as to over-exploit the Global South by directly owning these sources of production?

On what bounds do you say that? If they read Leftist theory, advocate for Leftism, and attack Imperialism and Capitalism, then they are Leftists.

My Lemmy.ml account is my older account, I’m defending Hexbear from misinformation right-wingers are spreading.

It isn’t “deplatforming” if Hexbear has always been self-sufficient and started platforming with other instances.

They aren’t mad though, they enjoy the instances they are federated with and are happy they defederated sh.itjust.works and that Lemmy.world “pre-emptively as a last resort” defederated them before even federating.

Having a dedicated Leftist space without constant liberalism is nice.

These pathetic foxes are pissed they’ve been neutralized by defederation.

Hexbear has been around for 4 years, unfederated. It wasn’t until 10 months ago that they started slowly federating. At least try to be honest.

That real lefties, even communists don’t take them seriously.

Who determines what a “real lefty,” or a “real Communist,” if not Communists who regularly read theory, talk about it, and post memes that require understanding theory to even get?

It’s just 4chan cosplaying communism. Truly despicable.

Do you genuinely believe people would put in that much effort to meme amongst themselves something they don’t agree with?

Hexbear has been around for 4 years, unfederated. They only started slowly federating around 10 months ago.

At least try to be honest.

I am still somewhat new to Lemmy, so maybe there is some history with Hexbear that I am ignorant of

Hexbear is a 4 year old community, it drastically predates the Reddit Exodus, and only started federating with other instances around 10 months ago. Those 3 years of self-sustainability created a unique culture that is at odds with the liberal instances on Lemmy, like Lemmy.world.

♥️

Doesn’t exactly feel great to see an entire community see you as the absolute evil and everything that is wrong with the world just because you may not agree that an economy run by committee is the best way, or that an authoritarian “vanguard” is the right way to a better society.

There are many Anarchists on Hexbear, by the way.

Additionally, what is your conception of the Vanguard that leads you to call it “authoritarian?” The IWW is a vanguard, as is PSL. The role of the Vanguard is essentially to be the most knowledgeable and dedicated to proletarian liberation among the Workers, to help educate and organize.

The historical through-line is that the term originated from British Communists that supported the USSR putting down the Hungarian Counter-Revolution, which involved tanks and violent fighting.

Nowadays, Tankie is used for everyone left of liberalism that agrees with the Marxist theory of the State, rather than the Anarchist, it’s muddled and has no meaning.

I got ridiculed and belittled without further request of clarification.

Do you have any evidence of Putin wishing to reinstate the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics? Why is Putin moving in a Capitalist direction, rather than Socialist? Why is the conflict specifically centered around regions of Ukraine, not the entirety, and why Ukraine specifically? Do you believe history to be decided by Great Men, or by Material Conditions?

There are absolutely rational reasons for Russia to invade Ukraine.

Looking back to the dissolution and subsequent plundering of the USSR, there became a rising Bourgeoisie within the Russian Federation. Since there wasn’t already Imperialist infrastructure for the Russian Federation to exploit the Third World (large, monopoly and financial Capitalists with international footholds), Putin tried to join NATO and join hands with the rest of the Imperialist western nations, and take “their share” of the super-profits. This was denied, and thus began a long few decades of growing tensions between NATO and the Russian Federation.

Ukraine on the other hand has been increasingly militarized, with anti-Russian sentiments rising. NATO increased expansion against Russian requests, leading to Russia trying to forcibly demilitarize Ukraine.

Regardless of morals, there is a material basis for this conflict.

As for Palestine, again, the oppressed have the rights to use violence to free themselves, especially if non-violence hasn’t worked, and in the face of genocide.

Nice to see you going mask-off and thinking Nazi Germany should have remained.

I mean they think Donald Trump is a liberal FFS. Donald Fucking Trump

I mean, yes. Donald Trump generally supports the free market, individualist ideology of Liberalism, and is extremely pro Capitalism.

Liberalism doesn’t mean “left wing” or “center left.”

Trump is also a far-right populist, but falls under the umbrella of liberalism.

Lemmy.ml is run by Communists and has a lot of Communists in general (ml itself is a reference to Marxism-Leninism), Communists are going to be sympathetic towards Communists.

Everyone knows Putin invaded Ukraine because he’s a dumbass dictator who started to believe his own propaganda. It’s the dictator trap. Putin surrounded himself with backstabbing yes men by literally killing anyone who wasn’t.

Do you have any evidence of this? Could it be that there were economic factors at play, and rational actors, regardless of morality or immorality? This seems utterly vibe-based and lacks a materialist analysis, so I’d love evidence.

From now until the ethnic cleansing is complete, Israel will call any resistance movement Hamas, regardless of their actual name or beliefs. I’m not sure how to fight that… I don’t think anyone really knows beyond screaming the truth everywhere we can.

Hamas isn’t the only resistance group in Palestine, there are others such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The key though is that Israel has been committing settler-colonial genocide for a century, oppressed peoples have a right to use violence against their oppressors, especially when non-violent means have tried and failed, and especially in the face of active genocide.

Equating Hamas to Israel equates resistance to genocide with genocide itself.

Speaking of, John Brown was right.

Go on, copy Awoo’s full quote.

It’s been on my mind recently that the global hope of lgbt people is China.

That’s gonna sound weird to anyone that thinks China is anti-lgbt, but the reality is that only exists among the old and they’re phasing out. China’s trajectory for lgbt issues is likely to be positive, because China’s trajectory for PEOPLE issues is positive.

The west is in decline, and with it the marginalised groups are being scapegoated as targets to distract the population from their declining conditions. Lgbt issues are likely to deteriorate across the west as the decline continues, as are other issues such as migrants and race.

China will represent a population of 1.4 billion people in ascendancy and with a positive trend towards these issues I believe it’s going to eventually become the place with the best conditions along similar lines to Cuba. It will represent the largest block of lgbt people in the world, and the lgbt people of China will become the largest advocate of lgbt conditions elsewhere in the world.

This hasn’t happened yet, but the trends are there. It’s coming in the longterm.
