It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
As someone who used to identify as one; calling yourself a "Libertarian Marxist" is the stupidest shit.
To label yourself a Marxist is to imply that you have adopted Marx's scientific method of socio-economic analysis, Historical Materialism.
If you believe that Marx was a Libertarian, the term "Libertarian Marxist" would be redundant.
If you believe that Marx was too "authoritarian", "Libertarian Marxist" would be an oxymoron.
The term is a contradiction, which is why the only people who call themselves Libertarian Marxists today are Liberals who wish to adopt the aesthetics of radicalism; but are unable to escape from Bourgeoise propaganda surrounding actually existing Marxist revolutions, and Marxist States.
Eh, there are legit Libertarian Marxists, De Leonists being the prime example. Of course they use Libertarian as meaning anarchy-adjacent rather the American usage of the word. They also resolve the contradiction you bring up by believing that Libertarian Marxism is the dialectical synthesis of Anarchist and Marxist thought.
