I've been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

tankies are not bastions of logical and rational thought

Apparently you aren't either, since you mindlessly use the term "tankie" when it doesn't mean anything. You've been conditioned to have an aversion to "tankies" when you aren't even able to accurately represent what this group defends, I'm sure.

When you're ready to think for yourself or if you feel like a "bastion of logical and rational thought", try to engage with us on Lemmygrad and see if you can point out the flaws of our "irrational and illogical" views. I'm pretty sure you'd be easily crushed in any debate. ๐Ÿ˜‰

We communists base our views on facts, on historical phenomena, not our feelings or wants.
