Is there a specifically anti-billionaire Lemmy community one could join?
I feel like this is most lemmy communities? What pro-billionaire lemmy communities are there?
Actually a more interesting question than you think. When asked "should billionaires exist?" Almost everyone on Lemmy would respond "no," I suspect, but when asked "should we be working towards Communism?" I suspect the answer is far more mixed. Depending on your personal views, someone can say they oppose billionaires but not support actual practical methods of reducing them, just saying "increase taxes" as though they would ever let that happen.
That is Lemmy!
Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml are the largest explicitly Leftist instances on Lemmy.
lol
What's funny?
Marxists and Anarchists are right-wingers? Is this a mirror reality?
Hexbear is made up of Marxists and Anarchists, and Lemmygrad is specifically Marxist-Leninist. You never really disuputed that, just called them "tankies," so presumably you think Marxism and Anarchism are "tankie" and therefore right-wing.
Do you dispute any of that?
What do you dispute? Showing hostility towards Marxism and Anarchism by calling them "tankies" usually gets removed, yes.
you're the one equating them. what I'm disputing is that they're Marxists or anarchists.
You haven't until this comment, actually. On what grounds do you say that? I'm a Marxist and consider them Marxists and Anarchists.
Probably on the grounds that, before joining Lemmy, they’d only ever encountered liberals who falsely claimed to be socialists, e.g. Bernie Sanders.
cool. you can check posts about both instances on others, there's been like a thousand threads about them, their mods and de-federation requests. I'm not going to do discovery for you like this is a court.
Gotcha, I've seen most of those and stand by my statement that they are Marxists and Anarchists, and you're just attacking Marxists and Anarchists. You can't seem to explain yourself or are unwilling to do so, despite me asking you to.
Lol, no they aren't.
What Leftist instance is larger?
Lemmygrad.ml is a Marxist-Leninist instance, I didn't say Lemmy.ml. Hexbear.net is a left unity instance with Marxists and Anarchists alike. Unless you're trying to say Marxism and Anarchism aren't Left, I really don't know what you mean here.
Instances, not community. Lemmy.ml for example?
Lemmy.ml, the admins have told me before, isn't a Leftist instance. It is moderated and admin'd by Leftists, but it's ultimately more of a testbench flagship instance, not a main instance. Hexbear is more active than Lemmy.ml as far as I know anyways.
Also, my original comment was about instances, I misspoke when I said Community.
Lemmygrad and Hexbear are technically anti-billionaire lol
