It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I go to a local trot group. I go to a couple of other local leftist groups too when the mood strikes me. I try to interact with a variety of spaces so I can be exposed to different positions and see how I feel about them.
I guess I'm a trot? I hardly think Russia or China are shining examples of communism, and also aren't great for LGBT rights. Only one way to find out though - it's a pipe dream but I'd like to travel to China at some point to experience what it's like over there. (Yes, I know it's a big country and there are a lot of different parts of China, blah blah blah.) At my core I believe millionaires shouldn't exist and then I expand my politics from there in any compatible way.
I'm not commenting here to debate my politics, I'm just letting you know that I exist and I continue to love all the comrades of Hexbear whether they be tankies or something else. And you've all definitely opened my mind to a brand of leftism that doesn't see any local representation!
I may be a trot or I may be the ultimate left unity enthusiast. So yay! Love you all.
I spent three weeks in China (Beijing area) about ten years ago on a school trip. Loved every minute of it and part of me wishes I could uproot everything and teach ESL over there or something, but I keep telling myself I need to actually learn mandarin first.
