Lemmy has some very aggressive communists.

I’ve been lucky enough to dodge the crazy right wingers though.

From what I see, it's full of wannabe rebel communists, who claim to be communist because they like the idea of revolution. The type of people that think that wallstreetbets is communist because "they fight the system".

Marx and gramsci are turning in their grave reading some lemmy post

Some are well read and others maintain nonsense because they don't know what anything means. Many seem to not have any understanding of how things work IRL. Fir example someone claimed China was a democracy and did not understand that the central party's ability to determine who could oppose them meant that they are in fact not a functioning democracy.

Complicated issues are complicated. Neither Reddit, lemmy, Twitter (x?), nor any social media platform is particularly well suited towards discussing complex decisive topics.
