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?

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.

What are these alternate views? Not supporting Palestine? Claiming there was Uyghur genocide? Ukraine good Russia bad? USA good China bad? voooooote to solve your problems? Any country that NATO hates is a genocidal totalitarian dictatorship? White man great everyone else is subhuman horde?

Ukraine good Russia bad?

Sorry I don't side with imperialism.

Ukraine wants to not be invaded by it's neighbor, and Russia did so to conquer it in direct contradiction to a treaty it signed when Ukraine gave it's nukes to Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. On multiple occasions.

Russia is not conquering Ukraine though. Has Russia done this in the course of over one year? On the other hand, Blackrock is selling and buying Ukrainian land for some mysterious reason. Somehow, a private USA company is conquering Ukraine's land.

I call bullshit on your claims and credibility.

Did Russia not invade Ukraine's sovereign territory?

That's a pretty big rock you've been living under to miss that.

Your claim, not mine. Do not change goalposts.

If Ukraine wasn't offered vast assistance they would have likely been swallowed by Russia by now.

Russia invaded. Russia was the aggressor, with some eye rolling cliché reasoning to boot.

Never play chess with pigeons. History is cliché for clowns.
