    Hmm, I wonder what lemmygrad did to deserve the ban here? I see they are a pretty hardcore Marxist instance, but curious if it’s just an ideology thingy with the admins here or if they did something to piss them off? It doesn’t appear to be mutual lemmygrad shares this instance, and they have a TON of others banned lol

      it’s not that they’re hardcore marxists but that they are tankies, you can find a lot of discussions about this out there

        Ideologically consistent Marxists, even tankies, wouldn’t support the capitalist imperialism of modern Russia.

          are they Marxist-Leninists (MLs)? like flagging Stalin etc and Communist Party stuff?

          i’m a Marxist anarchist and i’m just wondering if fmhy is a good server for my social circle. banning Marxists is not a good look (upon first reaction)

            I mean, you can go look at lemmygrad. I did when deciding which server to make an account on and found a bunch of people posting in support of current day not communist at all Russia. That goes beyond Marxism-Leninism into just supporting a neoliberal imperialist regime because it’s not the American neoliberal imperialist regime.

      Some delightful comments by them. They are The Donald of their sect.

      We’ll go through each account application with due diligence, but we would like you to know before you request an account that Lemmygrad is a Marxist instance, principally Marxist-Leninist. We like Stalin and we uphold the DPRK’s sovereignty and legitimacy over the whole of Korea. We love China’s Socialism with Chinese Characteristics.

      By experience, most internet users who self-identified as Communists and oppose Stalin tend to be either brainwashed people in countries that are under the rule of Westen European diaspora or trolling bots. Is there any real Communists who actually oppose Stalin? Stalin receive the most slander in Western European diaspora because he refused the destruction of USSR through an unsustainable war against Fascism and he forced the desolution of alliance by British and French empires with Hitler’s Nazi Germany. The Liberals complained about the non-agreession pact between Stalin and Hitler, even when the Western European empires forced Stalin to make the peace pact, that buy time for war preparation by USSR against Hitler at a time when USSR is too underindustrialized and too devasted from the Russian civial war that was more damaging than World War 1.

      DPR Korea isn’t sovereign over the whole of Korea. Not yet, anyway. Hopefully soon.
