i’m NOT even sure if this is the right community for me to post this on. that said, i got banned from hexbear (and now banned from posting stuff on !slop@hexbear.net from this lemmy instance) for “history of repeating us state department talking points, antisocialism and zionism” as well as possible “fedposting”.
i DON’T usually complain about hexbear, but part is me’s glad i got banned from hexbear - of course that site is mostly run by tankies.
of course you DON’T have to be a tankie to support marxism-leninism - i asked this question here, and some people said ‘you DON’T have to support stalin to support ml’.
i think that the ussr would’ve been better off today if the ussr continued to led by a troika after lenin’s death in 1924, but who am i to judge? i prefer lemmy.ml (another lemmy instance).
i apologize to any hexbear people reading this, and i’m sorry i called you tankies. seriously!


The USSR had prisons, sure. Some were worse, others were fairly progressive in their conditions for the time. The “mass imprisonment” is largely for traitors, fascists, and sabateurs, it wasn’t just random arrests. I reccomend reading Russian Justice.
