Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

  1. Where does hexbear oppose freedom of religion? And do you really want freedom of nazi speech?

  2. The individual rights hexbear opposes are landlording and bosses owning the means of production, not this weird shit you brought up in the rest of the bullet. I actually have no idea what you're talking about. Neither anarchists nor MLs want that.

  3. Cuba is pretty functional despite being heavily sanctioned — they developed their own COVID vaccines — but you're talking about actual communes. Despite the name, when people talk about "communism" they don't usually mean actual communes.

  4. "toeing the party line" — you guys literally do the same thing, shunning anyone who thinks like hexbear does.

  5. I'm not an anarchist, but anarchists don't want the wild west. Go read what serious anarchists actually want.

  6. Again, communist nations like Cuba are heavily sanctioned, that is why they are poor.

I think this comment is pretty illuminating, and I don't mean that in a bad way. A lot of you just fundamentally do not know what hexbears think or why, and you don't really share a common political language and set of concepts to talk in, and you end up filling in the gaps with assumptions.
