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?

I'm pretty left/lean socialist. The tankies that annoy me from those instances are pro authoritarian communists who say shit like "Stalin did nothing wrong" with no irony whatsoever. It's not really about bickering over ideological purity past a certain point, some of that shit makes a good case for the horseshoe theory

"I'm as left as they come but I'm still going to throat the entire State Department patent leather shoe talm bout 'authoritarians' like that's anything more than another white-folk-slur for brown leaders who deny them" you are a fucking joke
