What's a hex bear?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 53 minutes ago

Hexbear, along with .ml and grad, are Tankie instances. Known as the Tankie Triad (well soon to be Tankie Dyad anyways lol)

Communists (internet troll-ish)

As opposed to Communists (just-- communists) from lemmy.ml and Communists (Spicy Communists) from lemmygrad.ml

None of them are communists, they're Tankies, tankies = authoritarians

[–] [email protected] 1 points 50 minutes ago (3 children)

I think saying Tankies aren't Communists is a bit like saying Sword Art Online isn't an anime.

Just because they suck doesn't remove them from the category. In fact acknowledging the sucky parts of a is part of being grown up about that thing.

Communism is stateless and classless. How are STATES with authoritarian unanswerable leaders/classes in any way communist?

Well they're more like Authoritarian "Communists", the theory of communism doesn't require human rights violations and restrictions of freedoms.

But the only examples of communism in practice, and the only ones they praise and defend fervently, are places with authoritarian regimes like China.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberal and right‐wing factions as well.

the theory of communism doesn’t require human rights violations and restrictions of freedoms

Communism is a political ideology predicated on murdering a group of political enemies in the name of a pseudoscientific economic theory which is given the same reverence that Catholics do to church dogma. Communism is, and always has been, a cult.

Well yea but what is it in this specific context? I have no idea what this is

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

A far-left Lemmy instance, one of the so-called "Tankie Triad" (along with lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml). Compared to other instances of the Triad, focuses more on inclusivity and minority rights.

As with all instances of the Triad, Hexbear is commonly hated on other instances due to conflicts stemming from the difference of political perspectives with the majority of people on other instances.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 26 minutes ago

They're not "far-left" they're authoritarian "communists" and by "difference of political perspectives" you mean denial of human rights abuses and suppression of freedom by authoritarian regimes (even denying they are authoritarian regimes) like China or even that Russia was totally justified attacking a country unprovoked.
