    Is there a specifically anti-billionaire Lemmy community one could join?

        Actually a more interesting question than you think. When asked “should billionaires exist?” Almost everyone on Lemmy would respond “no,” I suspect, but when asked “should we be working towards Communism?” I suspect the answer is far more mixed. Depending on your personal views, someone can say they oppose billionaires but not support actual practical methods of reducing them, just saying “increase taxes” as though they would ever let that happen.

            .ml is a pretty general instance, hexbear is a tankie instance. Neither of them are specifically a leftist instance.

              Lemmygrad.ml is a Marxist-Leninist instance, I didn’t say Lemmy.ml. Hexbear.net is a left unity instance with Marxists and Anarchists alike. Unless you’re trying to say Marxism and Anarchism aren’t Left, I really don’t know what you mean here.

              Lemmy.ml, the admins have told me before, isn’t a Leftist instance. It is moderated and admin’d by Leftists, but it’s ultimately more of a testbench flagship instance, not a main instance. Hexbear is more active than Lemmy.ml as far as I know anyways.

              Also, my original comment was about instances, I misspoke when I said Community.

                I said tankies. the fact that you wanted to change to what tankies are definitely not that is conceit enough. gj to the coward who deleted my comment btw

                  Hexbear is made up of Marxists and Anarchists, and Lemmygrad is specifically Marxist-Leninist. You never really disuputed that, just called them “tankies,” so presumably you think Marxism and Anarchism are “tankie” and therefore right-wing.

                  Do you dispute any of that?

                    yes. the fact that I couldn’t make a comment on tankies on .ml without it getting removed is proof enough.
