    I’m fairly left on the political spectrum, probably further than most, but hexbear and a lot of .ml are left to the max, as in they’re tankies. I can’t stand right-wingers much, but tankies are worse by a large margin.

    Shit, they attempted to harass and dox me when I offered an opinion that didn’t agree with their very rigid worldview. I kept poking at their stubbornness then they banned me. I’m a stubborn SOAB myself.

    Now I’m questioning if I should continue to use this platform. I’ve definitely started using it less since then, knowing that this platform is run by tankies.

      I’ve had the same experience. Hexbear won’t accept any nuance when it comes to Palestine or homeless people.

                You must hate all countries then because they all use aspects of capitalism to further their gains. I agree though the goal is to ween off of capitalism into proletariat owned socialism. Unfortunately for tankies I won’t be used as a tool for their wanton violence against those that disagree. My demsoc flavor emphasizes humanism over hatred.

                  i do hate the burgeoise plotting for the literal destruction of the planet so they can maintain their obscene power, yes. i don’t know how you define “aspects of capitalism”.

                  no use empathizing with so and so intangible concept, though. i care about actual success in improving workers’ lives and smashing imperialism, and the MLs historically excel at that. honourable mention to anarchists too.

                    Aspects of capitalism: private businesses, private homeownership, private agriculture, classism, investments into foreign countries, foreign investment into said country, etc

                    As long as you’re not a tankie or authoritarian I don’t really have a problem with many of the particulars. Just know lots of MLs are tankies.
