Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

It’s lemmygrad, we’re the spectre. I’d bet at least half of the other instances out there block us, there’s only like 300 dedicated users on this instance, and they still can’t stop complaining about lemmygrad/tankies

Most of them unironically think that we are worse than Nazis!

I’m old, I’m not even sure that Marxist Leninism is the correct course. But it’s framework can/should be used for what is needed. That’s why I don’t discount “tankies.” We need every leftist for change. The people yelling tankie are scared. I grew up during the Cold War. I was pumped with red scare propaganda from birth. That’s difficult to counter. They know capitalism is failing, but there scared for what comes after. They think they want social democracy. Our job is to explain coherently why that won’t work long term. Keep seeking your truth, their arguments are frail and fearful. Don’t engage with individuals. Speak to the group in the thread instead. Btw: Does anyone have any good YouTube channels that discuss dialectic materialism in a fun way?

Depends on what is fun of course, but Second Thought has some nice and easily digestible videos. Hakim is also a good option I think. There could be one or two from HasanAbi that deal with the subject, but his content varies a lot regarding topics.
