All my experiences with that instance and similar ones have been disgusting.
Pushing people who post burning flags of a country and posts about it to be fully wiped out are accepted… Criticism regarding this gets your comment remove and a ban from the community.
I don’t need that again. Where can I block those pseudo-left pro-authoritarians instance?
You’re talking about Hexbear being pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist as though they are anti-semetic and wish extermination on Jewish people. No, that’s not how Hexbear is, Hexbear is neither genocidal nor anti-semetic.
You might be talking about something else, but burning a flag of say, the US, does not mean Hexbear wants to slaughter everyone in the US. It means Hexbear stands against the US State and its ruling class, same with Israel and its genocidal ruling class.
Anti-Zionism, anti-fascism, and being pro-Palestine are all 3 Leftist stances.
Anyway, to block a community, you can do it in your settings. You will still see comments from users, just not comms.
It was a joke, not a hot take. And yes, I’m a Communist, if you don’t like Communists you probably won’t like me.
As for this thread, I made one comment on my Hexbear alt for the emoji, and then swapped to this one, my main, so not really sure what your point is, here. What “horrible communities” am I a member of?
I promise I’m not “JAQ,” but what counts as “glorifying?” The majority of Marxists worldwide believe the USSR and DPRK to be capable of being considered Socialist. They also believe a great deal of good has been done in these countries, while acknowledging that the standard Western narrative generally mythologizes them to an extent. At the same time, most Marxists can acknowledge the real problems faced intenally and externally in these countries, and that not everything they do is correct or right. Such a wonderland does not and cannot exist, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t support Leftidt movemebts. The Black Panther Party, for example, supported the DPRK and directly stated the influence of the Juche Idea on how they themselves built up their community and party through self-reliance.
If the majority of Marxists, ie the majority of Communists (not counting Anarcho-Communists, of course), have similar views on “AES” states, wouldn’t that make “Tankie” just a negative term for Communists?
Personally, I think it’s convenient to think of oneself as not anti-Communist, while opposing every country that has tried to build communism, such as the former Soviet Union, PRC, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, DPRK, etc. As a Marxist-Leninist, I find the people most genuinely critical of AES states, and not dogmatically dismissive of, are fellow Marxists. It takes first correct understanding to begin to see what truly went right and what went wrong, after all.
Just my thoughts on the subject. You probably won’t agree.
I’ve only ever seen you participate in good faith,
I mean people who think everything was fine and dandy there, and they had no problems except for the u.s meddling (which was a real problem).
Don’t get me wrong, there was - and is - a lot of propaganda about it.
I’m not dismissive (hopefully!) of them, the ussr was a big step up from the tsar ruled russia, they have achieved a lot of good things, but there are some people who try to pretend nothing wrong happened.
I think that the whole china thing (tianamen square, the ughurs etc) is also very divisive.
One problem I have with a lot of former (and current) communist states is how they forgo democracy, or get dictators. I think democracy is one of the most fundamentally important things in a society.
The spectre of Communism had you spooked, lol

And here we have a hot take from a member of the Commie Triad. 🙃
Lol, I see you commented with both your profiles ITT, and that you’re a member of multiple horrible communities.
lmao turns out this whining has always been red baiting

Correct, I don’t like you. Thanks for the advice to block people.
Edit: Funny enough I blocked Diva before reading their comment asking me to block them. 🤣
You’re actually pretty obnoxious with this…
I literally couldn’t give less of a shit, if you’re fine sitting at the table with Nazis, be my guest, I have a zero tolerance policy.
Equating Communists to Nazis is a form of Nazi apologia. I suggest you read Blackshirts and Reds.
make sure to block me too so I don’t have to see your shit
Cool 👍
I can get disliking tankies (not communists, there’s a distinction), but you’re being a bit obnoxious. Just block silently and move on.
In practical terms, “tankie” just means Communist, but coming from someone who is anti-Communist. It’s kinda like “woke.”
I wouldn’t consider myself anti-communist by any means. I do use the term when people glorify north korea and the ussr though.
