Yesterday, I created my account on Lemmy.ml because I want to become mod on [email protected]. And I posted this comic on [email protected] It’s SDV game cutscene where Shane a NPC go watch Sports game with you kiss you accidentily but It was part of that event also player kiss Shane(NPC) back. Here’s video for more context. And someone claimed it have SA(Sexual Assualt) From Hexbear Ofcourse. So, I should delete it. I said it was a part of game cutscene. And If main player doesn’t love the Shane(NPC) then they don’t need to complete this event. And Just as a sarcasm I added Yeah we shoule delete this entire community because this game is Woke like Woke Detector Steam Group said. That user think I am some anti-woke dickhead something like that IDK. And tell me to Kill My Self. What I do now? I wanted on become mod on .ml because community was already well established. I message dessaline but I am sure he will not unbanned me. :(
Did I really did something wrong? I don’t know If I really did something wrong.
Link for that comic if embed doesn’t work.

The question is, can an anarchist which doesn’t accept any AES remain a member of hexbear for long, or do they get eventually punted for “sectarianism”? In fact, just how many anarchists who don’t accept AES states do you actually have in good standing? How many who don’t believe in left-unity?
You can be critical of AES when not on a Hexbear account. “Left-Unity” doesn’t mean “all leftist ideas are valid,” rather, it’s about coalition building. Again, understanding Lenin’s analysis of Imperialism is helpful, as both the Marxists and Anarchists on Hexbear see what Lenin outlines as “Imperialism” as the greatest enemy of all Leftist movements.
Unsure, I’m not a mod nor an admin. I think it’s self-evident when identifying as an Anarchist that AES isn’t your ideal, Hexbear’s Anarchists usually just see it as a dramatic improvement on Capitalism.
Not many, I imagine, otherwise they would be on a different instance most likely.
Hm, from what I’m hearing the “left unity” of anarchists and marxists-leninists only works if said anarchists actually accept the marxist-leninist theory instead of, you know, anarchist one.
Isn’t that supposed to be true for MLs as well?
I am honestly struggling to understand how does one distinguish between hexbear anarchists and hexbear MLs when they both accept Leninist theory. We all know (most) anarchists and MLs want the same theoretical end-goal of communism, but differ in praxis. Do hexbear anarchists actually agree with hexbear MLs on praxis?
Isn’t that kinda circular? Hexbear proves left unity works because it has anarchists who already believe in left unity.
Lenin’s analysis of Imperialism is in no way incompatible with Anarchist theory. I’m not telling you that Anarchists are supporting forming vanguard parties, or gradually transitioning to a world Socialist republic through revolution, I am specifically citing Lenin’s analysis of Imperialism, which I see as the uniting factor on Hexbear.
Anarchism isn’t my ideal, no. That doesn’t mean Anarchists do bad work or that they aren’t good comrades, especially if we are aligned on Imperialism.
Lenin’s analysis of Imperialism is hugely significant but not the entirety of Marxism-Leninism. Additionally, Anarchists and Marxists don’t have the same idea of Communism. The Anarchist theory of what is considered stateless is a hierarchy-less network similar to a spiderweb, while Marxists have no issue at all with hierarchy, but with classes. Anarchists have similar goals and are anticapitalist, but Marxists and Anarchists do not want the same thing. Marxism vs Anarchism is a good article from the perspective of a Marxist debunking someone’s claims that Marx was “basically an Anarchist,” which again I don’t expect you to agree with, but should better understand the position Marxists actually take, which is important given your present familiarity with Anarchism.
Note: I am not trying to “convince you.” I am trying to highlight differences and explain where Anarchists on Hexbear are coming from.
Yes? I never said it wasn’t. Grad has Marxists that don’t agree with Left-Unity and dunks on Anarchist takes regularly, Hexbear is unique in that it unites both.
How though? Just internet words? That means practically less than nothing. In practice you would be at opposing ends if as you say, your ideal society would include a hierarchical state as the anarchist define it, which is basically anathema.
I don’t see how it does. All I see is people writing and interacting in a very peculiar way. Anarchists I’ve interacted from hexbear say practically the same things as hexbear MLs.
Even if these two factions somehow managed to put the irreconcilable differences of praxis aside in order to discuss some issues like trans-rights, or genocide and whatnot, it doesn’t seem much of a “unity” at all to me as that requires common action. From what I’m seeing, it’s more of a common culture than any sort of actual left unity. And common cultute is nothing new either. There’s common culture between channers in /r/pol and /leftypol. Common culture with libleft and authright in /r/politicalcompassmemes. Doesn’t make them united in any reasonable sense.
Most people are flexible, and if in the event there was mass success along Marxist lines or Anarchist lines, would join the successful movement.
And I am telling you that you can understand this “peculiarity” by reading Imperialism.
This is the most correct thing you’ve said. Hexbear isn’t an org, it was described by one user as “not the Communist meeting room, but the bar they hang out at after the meeting.” There are members of various orgs like PSL, FRSO, Food Not Bombs, etc. on Hexbear alike.
A movement is only successful through unity of praxis. How would one succeed when MLs and Anarchists are pulling into two different directions?
(I’m going to put aside for now the many things I have to say about historical lessons anarchists have learned and why to avoid this)
I doubt Lenin had much to say about the peculiar way leftist nerds spam emojis in an online forum :D
That doesn’t describe unity. It describes people who are OK with suppressing themselves in order to hang out in a common space to talk about other matters. I hung out in plenty of ML parties in my days. I was still never united with them.
I literally just stated that if either movement started to truly pick up steam, most would join the one picking up steam.
You should talk to the Anarchists on Hexbear about what they think of with respect to this topic, obviously I am biased but it’s worth noting that what I said previously, most would join the successful movement, has historical basis.
I thought we were speaking about geopolitical positions, not just site culture. Lemmygradders don’t speak the same as Hexbear either, Hexbear has a unique site culture, that’s true
Again, I suggest asking Hexbear users directly.
First of all, that’s ahistorical. Bolsheviks infamously denied a revolution was happening and tried to wait for better material conditions, while a revolution was happening. This kind of things happens all the time.
Anyway, you just rephrased yourself. How would a movement “pick up steam” with two factions pulling in different directions? Or do you claim that MLs would join a purely anarchist movement? If so, that’s not an example of left unity. It’s an argument for entryism or something. And we already know what happened when anarchists joined ML movements picking up steam…
No I’m talking about the site culture. I think that’s the primary reason people put aside their core differences to hang out, either that, or LARPing as the other faction to give credence to “left unity” 🤷
If any non-toxic anarchists venture out of Hexbear, sure I can ask them. [email protected] is right there but I never see any hexbear anarchists commenting (except for the times they brigaded)
