So you know the Lemmy instance Lemmy.world? Well, there is another instance called hexbear... Which is full of hardcore, Stalinist communist. And every user of every other instance hates them

    Why do people always put labels on them as if that's the reason they are idiots. It's not. There just a bunch of obnoxious trolls that have made it their mission to annoy other instances.

    Fearful that a high-level national hero might be killed, Soviet officials banned Gagarin from participating in further spaceflights. After completing training at the Zhukovsky Air Force Engineering Academy in February 1968, he was again allowed to fly regular aircraft. However, Gagarin died five weeks later, when the MiG-15 that he was piloting with flight instructor Vladimir Seryogin crashed near the town of Kirzhach

    Commies smh

    There's nothing inherently wrong with Marxism though (not that you said there was, I just get the impression some people are calling them socialists as if it's inherently an evil thing), they're entitled to their opinions on an alternative to capitalism, it doesn't make them bad or weird people.

    I gather from what I've read here that people mostly don't get along with them because they are awful, terrible people (and honestly may not even be proper Marxists but maybe just posers, using it as a perfunctory label, idk).

    I'd gladly be friends with a Marxist, but friends with an authoritarian, or a xenophobe, etc? Absolutely not. Regardless of their other political or economic opinions.

    I'm an anarchist myself, so marxists are my brothers and sisters. So far, I've only seen displays of great inclusiveness from them (apart from telling me to fuck off, lol). However there's a lot of different types over on hexbear, some of them definitely being angry edgy teenagers. Still, definitely not a xenophobic bunch. I feel the general sentiment isn't warranted.

    Similar experience. Great experiences until saying something that gets misconstrued due to lack of context and pitchforks come out. Then, some continue positive interactions and mods step in to curb unwarranted hostility. Still, despite getting singed a bit, it's overall been incredibly inclusive.
