I've been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

If a communist isn't hated by the capitalist establishment, he isn't a real communist. (I do not imply that being hated by the establishment alone qualifies you to be a communist)

And the remainder of lemmy is the capitalist establishment?

Nah, you're wannabes who will never hold enough capital to count, which is why we slag you when you dig in your heels in the first place. There's nothing more simultaneously sad or funny than 'temporarily embarrassed' capitalists with no capital; especially when you haven't even bothered scrubbing the Oxford polish off your lips before fixing them to talk to us. You are footsoldiers of chauvinist racism, colonial genocide, and climate apocalypse, and you will be the death of all of us.

With all that in mind, what makes you think you or yours are owed any respectful dialogue?
