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?

This is the most perfect example of lemmygrad trying to find smart but making absolutely stupid conclusions. The Korean War was a genocide.... and a "successful" one. okay.... I got some good news for you

I encourage you to consider why war crimes and genocide are considered different things

Yeah, its a 'war crime' when America does it, 'genocide' when its someone else; I read you loud and clear.

Feel free to explain how the free fire zones/agent orange attacks didnt qualify as an attempt at genocide either.
