I may not be an anarchist, but I’m not a Dengist either, so I get massive headaches on both Hexbear and grad with their unconditional support for state capitalism. There are good (or rather less worse) aspects to China when compared to the US, but dogmatically supporting it to the hilt just reeks
(not to shit on Hexbear too much, they have quite a handful of good and more or less genuinely leftist coms; I just stay clear of the more political/theoretical one’s)
and even as a revolutionary Marxist (read: “non denominational” lmal) I feel welcome and think that this instance is a really nice corner of the Lemmyverse
(even with it being largely anarchist/libertarian socialist. not in the sense that I have a problem with those ideologies, more that I feel that the difference in strategy and tactics doesn’t cause as much enmity as it might in other online spaces)
also the free/libre and pirate spirit makes it an even better place <3
I was wondering why this thread was so unapologetically anti-American until I realized this is dbzer0. Good stuff.
dbzer0 is like the one major safe haven from lib bullshit that also doesn’t fall into the pit traps of “well China is uncritically great”.
exactly, that’s why I love it here
