China isn’t fascist, and neither was the USSR. China hasn’t reached Communism, but they are working towards it through Socialism. They are Socialist because the Public Sector is dominant over their economy and government holds supremacy over Capitalists.

You need to read Marx if you want to have an opinion on Marxism, and you should read Blackshirts and Reds if you believe Communism is fascist.

Marxists and Anarchists are right-wingers? Is this a mirror reality?

The EU is not even close to Socialist, I find it hard to believe you were paying much attention to their comment. The EU and the US make up the world’s largest Empire. Additionally, China is Socialist, and well on its way to being a Superpower.

The statement made over on Hexbear and others is that the “Tian’anmen Square Massacre,” the commonly reported idea that the PLA swept into Tian’anmen Square and subsequently massacred “10,000” people as reported by Western outlets like BBC, is a fabrication designed as atrocity propaganda that utterly distorts the real character of the tragedy of June 4th, 1989 to serve Western interests. The statement is not that there were not hundreds of killings that day, but that the scope and character reported commonly by Western Outlets has no real evidence supporting it. For a more in-depth look at what Marxists commonly understand the events of June 4th, consider reading Another View of Tiananmen.

What’s funny?

Lemmygrad.ml is a Marxist-Leninist instance, I didn’t say Lemmy.ml. Hexbear.net is a left unity instance with Marxists and Anarchists alike. Unless you’re trying to say Marxism and Anarchism aren’t Left, I really don’t know what you mean here.

Lemmy.ml, the admins have told me before, isn’t a Leftist instance. It is moderated and admin’d by Leftists, but it’s ultimately more of a testbench flagship instance, not a main instance. Hexbear is more active than Lemmy.ml as far as I know anyways.

Also, my original comment was about instances, I misspoke when I said Community.

Taking no allies and saying you can’t make allies exclusively on the basis of common tempirary interest is dogmatic. Again, your line of logic sides against Palestine and against the Union, because neither could be considered “Leftist” as systems. This is wrong.

The odd non-sequitor to Harris to push a confused narrative of Leftists preferring Trump is pointless, for many people genocide is a firm red line and by all accounts the United States is Genocidal.

What Leftist community is larger?

Leftism isn’t some holy vow, it’s a practical working mindset to work towards Socialism. There can be no real progress for humanity while the United States remains the worlds largest empire, the US is the biggest barrier for Socialism worldwide.

Ultimately, when you simplify everything down to only supporting genuine Leftist movements, you find yourself without even temporary allies who may have otherwise shared a common goal, and this lowers the chance of Socialism succeeding in the long term. In other words, you would refuse to support the Union over the Confederacy, or Palestine over Israel. This is a convenient oversimplified worldview to take, but it isn’t siding with the global Working Class, but just Leftists specifically.

In other other words, if you refuse to even make temporary allies, you aren’t taking “anti-billionaire” seriously.

No, they don’t. They say that no one died on the square, which evidence seems to support. They don’t say nobody died, period.

Hexbear and Lemmygrad hate the Russian Federation, but critically support it in its anti-Western stance it adopts out of pure circumstance. There’s no love for Putin, just depression at how far the Russian Federation has fallen from its Soviet roots, when it was a hugely progressive force for mankind.

I don’t know what you mean by “authoritarians are entitled to their billions,” and to frame “the June 4th 1989 killing happened off the square, not on it” as “the killing never happened” is pretty dishonest. The Prolewiki page pretty clearly states that hundreds of protestors and PLA soldiers were killed that day.

Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml are the largest explicitly Leftist instances on Lemmy.

Yep, there are good spots for that on Lemmy.

It would be a massive shame to not throw Fallout: New Vegas a nod.

I think it’s perfectly in line, Communists more than anyone know that “organizing” on Lemmy isn’t practical in any way, discussing theory and the news sure, but not organizing.

Which part is ironic?

Copying my other answer to your other response:

Oh, well there’s a decent deal of that, mostly on Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml. I even made an intro Marxist reading list and linked it on my profile, and share it frequently. There are several communities dedicated to learning and sharing.
