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 [email protected]
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

Anticommunism aside, since when were MLs pushing for left unity?
Since the establishment of hexbear.net
There used to be big tedious threads on /r/chapotraphouse basically along the lines of the thread we're dunking on (including plenty directed by MLs against anarchists). After enough of that shit and petty name-calling, most people were really sick of the infighting and it was decided that cth would be a left unity space.
While the subreddit was alive, the ratio of Anarchists to MLs waxed and waned but there was always a reasonably big contingent of both and other types of leftists to boot. I think more of the MLs made it over to Hexbear, but the left unity rule remains in place because fuck infighting.
Personally I'm all for left unity because I've learned a lot from Anarchist comrades and it's nice not see so much mud slinging.
Fair enough, although I find the image's implication that Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Krushchev were pushing left unity to be baffling.
Just goes to show how they know shit about theory if they don't know that Stalin wrote "anarchism or socialism". Similar with the rest.

Standards of evidence is 1984, vibes-based analyses are good enough and if you say otherwise you’re basically Hitler oppressing them with concepts such as “you need to know what you’re talking about before you open your mouth”
