    Look, we all know that Hexbear is questionable. There’s a reason we defederated from them. But let’s not go around throwing terms like “fascism” around like they don’t mean anything. We all know Hexbear is full of Marxist-Leninist trolls. We know.

      I mean, there’s also a reason that Marxism-Leninism and Stalinism was historically referred to as “red fascism”: Soviet ultra-nationalism, fetishization of violence, authoritarianism. They were very cosy with the Nazis when it came to carving up Poland between them.

      Yeah they’re internet trolls that picked up the mantle, it’s not like they’ve done the work do deal with their internal issues.
