As someone who is far, far left, I just want to say that Lemmygrad doesn't represent us all. The libertarian left is very different.
Lemmygrad in general represents a pretty narrow band of Marxist-Leninists that was chased off of Reddit. There’s no effective representation of 1: Marxist-Leninist-Maoists (formulated in the RIM in the 1990s) and 2: Anarchists (who as much as I disagree with make up a pretty large contingent of folks developing a class consciousness without an understanding of dialectical materialism.)
I guess this is the fediverse though. Nothings stopping me from making my own server or community. (Besides being called a westoid baizuo by some guy with a stalin pfp :P)
Yeah it'd definitely be nice to get a bit more diversity in leftist viewpoints on here. For all my disagreements with them I don't generally mind anarchists or even some of the more traditional MLs or Maoists, but I do have kind of a hard time with all the Deng fans.
Ditto. I'd call myself a socialist, but they're so far "left" they're far right again, imo. Pro-dictators and forceful subjugation and whatnot. Tankies. Not really sure what makes them left at all, really, except by virtue of the word communism and the fact that everyone seems to have agreed they are.
At least, assuming this crowd is the same as similar crowds I am familiar with - I'll admit I have not explored lemmygrad much, and I don't particularly intend to.
To my understanding- the real divider here is agreement on weather or not Deng’s capitalist roading/economic reforms were revisionist or pragmatic. People who agree with the former aren’t represented to much of any degree, on here and Reddit. The latter are on Lemmygrad. Not much discussion on the Mass Line or Concentric Construction or Marxism as a science in general which I think can alienate interested parties like anarchists and progressives into seeing these guys as really really online
Tankies are just right-wingers who simp for different countries.
yeah they're tankies alright. Most of them came when r/genzedong was quarantined.
