    On what grounds? They read Marx and Lenin, discuss their works, and personally claim to be Marxist-Leninists. If you aren’t referring to Marxism-Leninism, then what are you referring to?

      To be honest, I don’t really think you’re engaging in good faith.

      I think being demonstrably pro-Russian anti-Ukraine is one such example. I think they coddled the Chinese government too much. The allies they have do not align with true communist values.

        I am engaging in good faith, you’ve been disengaging and dodging questions, which is frustrating.

        I understand that you don’t have much exposure to hexbear with a .world account, but I see them a lot. It isn’t sufficient to say “pro-russia” or “anti-ukraine,” it’s more accurate to say that they oppose NATO as the largest coalition of Imperialist states in the world, presently, following Lenin’s analysis of Imperialism.

        Same with China, China is currently the largest actually existing Socialist state, so they have critical support for what the CPC does. This is with the notion that people are driven by Material Conditions and Material Reality with respect to Mode of Production drives history.

        Hexbear is largely Marxist-Leninist, and you’ll find that Marxist-Leninists largely agree with Hexbear, regardless of where you find them.

        That’s why I am asking why you claim Hexbear is authoritarian, but Marx isn’t. Hexbear doesn’t simply support authoritarianism, but opposes Imperialist countries along Lenin’s analysis. Marx additionally wasn’t a Utopian, but a Scientific Socialist.

          I have ample experience with these people. That’s why I created an account here. They bullied me with mod supported targeted harassment because I wasn’t communist enough or something.

              Sure. I reported a death threat, the mods posted the report to dunktank, and the mobs came after me.

              The account has, understandably, been deleted. Weeks of harassment.

                I’m sorry to hear that. I still don’t see where that makes Hexbear authoritarian, though.

                  I thought you asked for examples of harassment…

                  No, their pro CCP and Kremlin takes are enough for the latter.

                  Particularly that they are pro Ukranian invasion. I could even buy an anti US imperialism stance. but they are instead pro Russian imperialism.

                    That was in response to me telling you how they operate and aren’t simply “authoritarian supporters”, to which you said you have “ample experience.”

                    Support for the CPC is still Marxist, and opposing NATO is also Marxist. Hexbear does not support the Kremlin from what I have seen. You say you’re a Marxist but disagree with this, which is why I am asking what you think Marx wanted that Hexbear doesn’t, or vice-versa.
