Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about "I can't use muh slurs, this is awful."

"The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media." /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn't far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they're lying, they're too stupid to figure out lemmy.

Ditto. I'd call myself a socialist, but they're so far "left" they're far right again, imo. Pro-dictators and forceful subjugation and whatnot. Tankies. Not really sure what makes them left at all, really, except by virtue of the word communism and the fact that everyone seems to have agreed they are.

At least, assuming this crowd is the same as similar crowds I am familiar with - I'll admit I have not explored lemmygrad much, and I don't particularly intend to.

Tankies are just right-wingers who simp for different countries.

yeah they're tankies alright. Most of them came when r/genzedong was quarantined.

To my understanding- the real divider here is agreement on weather or not Deng’s capitalist roading/economic reforms were revisionist or pragmatic. People who agree with the former aren’t represented to much of any degree, on here and Reddit. The latter are on Lemmygrad. Not much discussion on the Mass Line or Concentric Construction or Marxism as a science in general which I think can alienate interested parties like anarchists and progressives into seeing these guys as really really online
