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?

    their users deny genocides

    If you are referring to the Xinjiang issue, then it just reaffirms what @davel@lemmy.ml just said:

    it’s largely because the Anglosphere has been indoctrinated against real, actual socialism their entire lives

    Because the “Uyghur genocide” in Xinjiang is another example of propaganda. Or do you really think the West cares about Muslims and want to protect their “freedom”?

    call everyone that has a less extreme left opinion of politics Nazis

    I don’t see anyone in Lemmygrad calling other people “Nazis” because they disagree with someone in a discussion. I usually see them criticizing others as “liberals.” This is either a misrepresentation of leftists in general, very common among conservatives, or you are frequently being called a Nazi. I don’t know, maybe that’s on you? 🤔

    end up being so “anti-racism” that they’re racists themselves and take all critics as personal attacks

    That’s so specific you should give at least one example of this. We have very strict moderation against any bigotry, so I challenge you to link any “racist” attitude or comment you have seen in Lemmygrad. I will give you 24 hours, and if you don’t reply with an example, I will edit this comment saying you chickened out.

    EDIT: They chickened out, as expected.

      And 24 hours have passed with no evidence! No sources! No citations! Typical unsubstantiated settler horseshit.

      Another repeating problem is the vast generalizations. Treating “the West” as if they’re all Bush Jr. or Reagan.

        If “the west” isn’t voting for Bush or Reagan then they’re hailing people like Obama, who destroyed Libya and brought back open air slave markets - or Clinton who destroyed Belgrade and undermined social protections for workers. To think you are somehow better because you support(ed?) Genocide Joe is just delusion.

          I’m not even American yet still in “the west”, and refuse to be identified by American subpar ways of determining people in power.

            Just as bad as Biden, Obama, Bush Jr., and both Clintons; deserving of the same International Criminal Court convictions as the five I just listed.

                I hadn’t done that much research into it, but I’d figured most of them were. Of course the ICC’s just a Western white body to keep the mother continent under the settlers’ thumb.

            Critical support to Donald Trump in his mission to undermine the amerikkkan state, bless him for not hiring people to the state department and congratulations for his negotiation of capitulation to the Taliban

        The West ≠ Western citizens

        North Atlantic imperialist countries is what we refer as “the West”. They have shared interests and in terms of foreign policy act almost in unison, so much so that a single term to describe North American and Western European countries is not a generalization, it’s quite appropriate actually.
