Pretty sure they mean “actual leftist” as in “not just liberals and moderates.” Because there are plenty of instances with an axe to grind against Hexbear for their bad behavior.
Personally I suspect that Hexbear is inundated with bot farm trolls, but that’s not what I was getting at. I meant that despite what said trolls insist, one does not have to approve of Hexbear to be a leftist. Many leftists (not centrists or liberals, but proper leftists) take issue with Hexbear.
But yeah, Hexbear also gives zero shits about human rights. They mostly seem to be about breaking up any left-of-center coalitions that they can.
I haven’t seen any evidence for “bot farm trolls” on Hexbear and I use it, but either way the framing of the statement implies directly that Hexbear aren’t real Leftists, and that if one is a “real” Leftist that they should take issue with Hexbear.
Because leftists usually defend human rights, and the authoritarian regimes defended by some people on Hexbear (but also lemmygrad and ml) tend to attack those human rights when they are in the way of their ideology (not unlike the far right politicians).
It’s complete nonsense. Hexbear/lemmygrad/.ml have views that are consistent with pretty much every real life communist party, especially those in the global south.
If you don’t like communism that’s fine, but these textbook social democrats proclaiming themselves to be the true leftists are a joke. I think they just like the leftist label without having to actually walk the walk.
I’m aware. The “tankie” instances have stances that are overwhelmingly in line with Marxist orgs and parties worldwide, so the “anti-tankie” users either need to admit to just being anti-Marxist or try to honestly learn more.
I’ll always like to learn more!
Can you show me where Marx wrote to oppress workers, put the means of production in the hands of few and starve farmers to death?
@Cowbee From what i saw, i don’t see why you define yourself as leftist because your upvotes say otherwise and you didn’t apologize nor tried to amend for it because it wasn’t your. But you upvoted it.
It was a post where some hexbear account insulted me.
And there is a post where i saw your upvote and confronted you since you played as if you didn’t took part of it, didn’t know while being an advocate for hexbear’s instance.
That was one of my worst experience on internet.
It left me a very sour taste and when i showed your upvote, i hoped you would apologize, recognize that you played a role, then stand up and try to talk to them. Something like that.
However, you still ask us to change our view on hexbear while they continue doing the same thing…You may consider changing your point of view.
I can’t interact with MeanwhileOnGrad from either of my 2 accounts, so I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I remember an admin abusing admin privledges to try to intimidate me into apologizing about who I upvoted and downvoted, so if that’s you then I suppose that checks out.
It gives a hint to people about why some leftists don’t consider what they call tankies as the real left way, they can read the tankies Wikipedia page for more details. I’m not expecting the communities being targeted by the tankies qualifier to agree with it, I was writing for the vast majority of people who are not from those, especially the recent wave of former redditors.
It’s an instance for Communists. Unpopular with the liberal/moderate Lemmy crowd.
It’s unpopular with actual leftists as well. Because it’s a toxic mess.
What is an “actual leftist?” Why would Hexbear not count as Leftist?

Maybe take a look around the call center.
Funny, but doesn’t actually answer anything.
Because leftists usually defend human rights, and the authoritarian regimes defended by some people on Hexbear (but also lemmygrad and ml) tend to attack those human rights when they are in the way of their ideology (not unlike the far right politicians).
That’s very vague and doesn’t really say anything though. Why should someone listen to your take on it?

Nowhere, but I’d like to know what you mean by any of that.
I’m sorry did you just pull the “not radical enough” card on hexbear?
Mate I like your line but chill choom
No. On the people hating on hexbear and saying they are tankies/not real leftists

Don’t know what you’re talking about, to be honest. Do you have a link?

There is lot links in this community. I selected few one :

Not much more reasons that listening to yours, we are just some pseudonyms sharing opinions on a public forum.
I feel that your comment was so vague it didn’t end up saying anything though.
