I am also unhappy about what the main lemmy instance is doing.

    After all they have been the dominant leftist group for a long time and thus attracted some questionable people as well…

    You mean like Lenin? It’s not “some”, it’s the majority, and it’s their leaders.

      Yes for example Lenin (who was basically a counter-revolutionary as explained in Emma Goldman’s book on the topic). But today’s Marxist-Leninists are not all hardcore Lenin fanboys; it is a diverse group of people with different ideas and some misconceptions due to a long history of Soviet Union propaganda.

        And then most tankies when I call them tankies:

        Please call us something-Lenin. …but sure, Lenin isn’t among their masters. I don’t buy into this.
