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.

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)
It is historical. Many Anarchists joined the Bolsheviks to support the mass movement, and the Bolsheviks also supported the Anarchists in Spain for a time. Disagreements are allowed to happen as well, my point is that the division isn’t black and white.
You call it “entryism,” I call it left-unity. Even then, coalitions have their place as well. Secondly, many Anarchists joined the ML movements, the ones who did not were the ones too opposed to work with them. That doesn’t mean the Marxists were innocent, of course, just that it isn’t black and white. Many Anarchists joined the ranks of the Bolsheviks.
The former is more of a point than the latter, there are clearly Anarchists on Hexbear and Anarchist theory is often talked about and encouraged.
Hexbear’s Anarchists aren’t likely to participate in an Anarchist community that fundamentally disagrees on analysis of AES.
My point is that the division is very much black and white. The anarchists which joined the Bolsheviks got disillusioned, purged or killed. The anarchists of Spain learned similar lessons. Disagreements are allowed to happen in anarchist revolutions, sure, sometimes too much for their own good. But we’ve seen that in ML ones, persistent anarchist disagreement is an eventual path towards the front of a firing squad for being “counter-revolutionary”.
No, when you join an succesful Anarchist movement and don’t act like an anarchist, it’s entryism. When you act as an anarchist, it’s just anarchism.
Again, it’s all about the praxis. How one larps on a web forum is irrelevant.
Sure, if all you’re doing is playing reformism…
So long as it anarchist theory which suppresses the largest anarchist lessons learned painfully in the 20th century, which is that left unity doesn’t exist 🤷
Starting to sound like a cult here, buddy…
At what point does dissent become counter-revolutionary? Never? Or is there a point where it makes sense to enforce unity?
So if I ideologically think the movement is flawed but materially support it I am considered by you an Anarchist? I disagree, to an extent. If a movement gains traction, it is more important to effectively support that movement, however it manifests, to the best of your abilities.
If a Marxist believes in Democratic Centralism and therefore joins the Anarchists in a united movement, rather than fracturing it, despite their disagreements, they are a Marxist.
That’s your opinion, of course, and Hexbear’s Anarchists clearly disagree. I suggest talking to them about it.
I don’t see that at all. If dbzer0 as an instance is generally hostile to support of AES, it isn’t always useful nor fun to engage if you do support AES. I don’t think it’s “cult-like,” neither instance is truly neutral ground.
No. It never makes sense to “enforce unity”. Dissent doesn’t become counter-revolutionary unless there’s counter-revolutionary praxis involved. Since you’re all about “left unity”, you should be perfectly happy to let anarchists practice anarchist prefiguration inside a ML society, no?
No, but it means you’re doing anarchism. I.e. it’s not “left unity”. It’s just anarchism.
Again, a movement doesn’t gain traction on its own. Its unity of praxis that makes it so, which is explicitly what your “left unity” is not doing, since it waits and see if someone else has traction to join it. It’s nonsense!
Sure, tell them to come over to /c/anarchism!
dbzer0 is not hexbear. We don’t ban people who are misguided about “AES”, like hexbear would. Not do we dogpile them for wrongthink. As such, there’s not problem in coming over to talk to us.
However I would be raising quite an eyebrow to any anarchist who avoids talking to other anarchists who don’t accept state capitalism is a form of socialism.
For clarity, does this extend to Capitalists? Fascists?
I’m gonna disagree on the semantics there.
On the contrary, it supports leftists to do what they believe is most effective and learn from other tendencies.
Why don’t you make a thread inviting them? I’m not wanting to get accused of “brigading” like Hexbear always is.
I’ve run into issues with dbzer0 as an instance regarding this, your rules surrounding MLs are deliberately written in a manner that limits discussion. If you change the rules to be more free-speech then I’ll consider it, I used to do so until it became clear that I had to watch what I said, while takes like “Lenin wasn’t a Marxist” stay up and even get postively upvoted.
