Someone who goes fishing for fights online.

It is definitely failing lol but idea that some strong man is going to come to save us from the current strong men is laughable ;)

When you’ve definitely read theory

Again, you are not reading the links, nor are you interested in engaging in good faith. As an example:

https://hexbear.net/post/3232536 - more “all Ukrainians are Nazi rhetoric”

The comment was mocking the “no Ukranians are Nazis” rhetoric on a video of Ukranian soldiers with Nazi symbols on their helmets harassing an elderly Russian man. You aren’t interested in truth, but debate-broing.

As for your definition of Imperialism, I quite specifically linked Lenin’s work on Imperialism as a stage of Capitalism, not merely invasion, yet you obscure that and push the dictionary definiton, again as a measure of bad-faith. Marxists specifically refer to international Monopoly Capitalism as Imperialism, something the Parenti video I linked you touches on well enough to give you a sufficient taste of Lenin’s Imperialism so you don’t have to read the book for this conversation, yet you twist words and pretend Hexbear is operating on a double standard by using the dictionary definition against a forum of Marxists using Lenin’s definition!

It’s peak dishonesty, your other links are similarly dishonest readings out of context, hoping people won’t actually click the link and see what they really said.

If you aren’t going to engage honestly, you need to logout and touch grass.

I have a lot of suggestions, but for starters, what do you know so far, and what do you think you’re lacking in?

It’s both, actually. I use Petty Bourgeoisie when speaking with non-Marxists sometimes, though it makes little difference.

So, nothing, gotcha.

The platform was never there, lmao. It isn’t deplatforming. Hexbear has a democratic federating process that takes longer.

In what manner does Hexbear advocate for expanding predatory IMF loans to the Global South, and exporting machinery and industrial Capital directly to the source of the Raw Materials so as to over-exploit the Global South by directly owning these sources of production?

On what bounds do you say that? If they read Leftist theory, advocate for Leftism, and attack Imperialism and Capitalism, then they are Leftists.

My Lemmy.ml account is my older account, I’m defending Hexbear from misinformation right-wingers are spreading.

It isn’t “deplatforming” if Hexbear has always been self-sufficient and started platforming with other instances.

They aren’t mad though, they enjoy the instances they are federated with and are happy they defederated sh.itjust.works and that Lemmy.world “pre-emptively as a last resort” defederated them before even federating.

Having a dedicated Leftist space without constant liberalism is nice.

These pathetic foxes are pissed they’ve been neutralized by defederation.

Hexbear has been around for 4 years, unfederated. It wasn’t until 10 months ago that they started slowly federating. At least try to be honest.

That real lefties, even communists don’t take them seriously.

Who determines what a “real lefty,” or a “real Communist,” if not Communists who regularly read theory, talk about it, and post memes that require understanding theory to even get?

It’s just 4chan cosplaying communism. Truly despicable.

Do you genuinely believe people would put in that much effort to meme amongst themselves something they don’t agree with?

No problem!

The “fun” thing with the petty bourgeois as they relate to Trump is how classes relate to fascism. Fascism materially arises from a frustrated petty bourgeoisie aligning with the Bourgeoisie against the Proletariat along nationalis and xenophobic lines.

I’m sorry, but again, this is a gross mischaracterization. Please actually read the links I sent, you don’t need to read the Imperialism text but at least go through the thread I linked and the Parenti speech.

I have been critical of the Russian Federation and Putin especially on Hexbear, and have been highly upvoted for it. Hexbear’s position on Russia is nuanced, ask them to explain it and you’ll get explanations.

I understand being Anti-US, but if Russia was in the US’s position, they would be just as bad if not worse for the treatment of people and propagating imperialism.

This is 100% correct, the thing is, nobody but the US is in the US’s position. Russia is acting in the manner they are because they aren’t.

In certain forums, unless I’m very well-informed about a topic, I’ve learned to shut the fuck up unless asking questions, and to ask them with humility.

This is a core principle in Communist organization. “No investigation, no right to speak.” As a consequence, discussion tends to be better-informed in my experience.

In case anyone is curious, this is a wrecker account. They post vaguely left wing memes, then blatant Antisemitism. Lemmy.ml has had multiple such users in the last week or so attempting to derail everything, notice that this account is less than an hour old.

I am still somewhat new to Lemmy, so maybe there is some history with Hexbear that I am ignorant of

Hexbear is a 4 year old community, it drastically predates the Reddit Exodus, and only started federating with other instances around 10 months ago. Those 3 years of self-sustainability created a unique culture that is at odds with the liberal instances on Lemmy, like Lemmy.world.

The joke here is just misogyny.
