I believe there's one called Matapacos, but I can't seem to find it. Grad used to have an akkoma instance too.
Oh, thanks! I tried both matopacos.dog and matopacos.toots, didn't think to do toots.matapacos.dog 🤦
what do you use?
Lemmy, haha. I never had a twitter account so I never felt the need to replace it.
just checked your profile and dayumm you're based
Thanks, comrade! As @Edie@lemmy.ml corrected me, toots.matapacos.dog should be what you want!
Ml is nice, people are nice, mods do their job well. Most people here are leftists, but i wish they were even more
The Grad has some good users but mods are incapable of responding to an argument with something else other than a ban, and that can ruin a lot of the debating thing that marxists are supposed to do.
Hexbear is fun, but identitarism runs in their blood and some topics cant be even discussed.
There are various anarchist-leaning places, they have good memes but think you can take down capitalism with vandalism.
them anarchs need to watch one piece's War against World Government arc man
Is "watch anime" the new "read theory"?
I was on matapacos for a year. It just felt ... dead. I moved to mastodon.social and I feel fine there as an ML.
I felt the same about lemmygrad. I'd rather have a little bit more popular instance than finding one that specifically caters to my tendency. Overall the fediverse is still lefty af.
how long did it take for your application to get accepted by matapacos.dog?
Less than 24 hours if I remember.
is a non-marxist even a leftist at all? (like those whose politics based purely on feelings)
Unfortunately they tend to oppose Marxists, so OP wanting a more Grad-style instance than anarchist disqualifies Kolektiva.social.
That's true. Although I wouldn't say Marxist but more Leninist/stalinist/maoist tendencies.
I didn't know what the word grad-style meant until now.
The overwhelming majority of Marxists agree with Lenin's advancements on Marxism, be they Marxist-Leninists or Maoists (not to be confused with the ideology of the CPC, which is ML). At that point, can they really be considered Marxist friendly?
I tend to understand marxism as a much broader philosophy. Ive been heavily influenced by Marxist anarchist and Marxist feminist writers that don't fall into much conversation with Leninism or maoism. So I guess my lived experience has shown otherwise to your assessment. But I also am interested in learning more.
I'm not sure what you mean by Marxist anarchists, as Marxism and anarchism have dramatically different frames of analysis, but in communist parties Marxism-Leninism is the most common tendency globally. Are you specifically referring to authors? If so, then you may be closer to the truth if we only consider English, but if we consider non-English languages Marxism-Leninism becomes more common.
OP wants one that isn't heavily defederated.
Radical left = communism or socialism?
Like in Cuba for example? Or Argentina (before the Milei experiment). Just wondering how a radical left society would look like.
OP used Lemmygrad.ml as an example of good politics, so yes, that would include actually existing socialism like Cuba, PRC, DPRK, Laos, Vietnam, former USSR, and countries like Venezuela that are trying to establish socialism.
the deprogram community on lemmygrad is based man, didn't really interact with the rest of the stuff on the instance though
You should check out the instance itself, the deprogram crowd is pretty new to Lemmygrad, and mostly came after the subreddit ban. Grad has some great posts in other communities!
wanna chat on matrix or something?
Don't have a matrix, unfortunately... does it have to be private? Lemmy has dm functions, but it's not private. I can make a Matrix account if necessary though! Just might take a bit.
whatever you want man
Sounds good! Send a message whenever you want!
a society where economics don't matter, so yeah communism.
labour is automated and optimised so that people actually get enough time to develop into decent humans, skill goes where it is needed and not where it is better compensated.
the rest of Marx's opinions (like on family and religion) are shit imo
