I’ve been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

    Well it’s because they are Marxist.
    In the Lemmy culture Marxism has a very bad name because almost religious overtones of its adherents.

    Which is of ironically very much what Marx was warning against. But that’s how it works right now.

      Leninism is antithetical to Marxism. As you said. If they were Marxist there wouldn’t be a big issue. They’re Leninist as an angry 13 year old can be. Combined with the fact that people in the West, the US especially, have no idea what either one is. And that’s the problem.
