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?

Political views aside, the way they promote their political views is unappealing.

Look through any of their popular threads. Everyone piles on any comment which doesn't align perfectly with the agreed perspective.

Sounds like every popular community on Lemmy. The only difference is the "agreed perspective".

Not really.

In most communities you can at least entice some robust discussion, hexbear just seems sp aggressively intolerant of alternative views.

That's basically every political sub I've come across browsing in my instance

It's a question of degree.
