I generally agree with the idea that some Lemmy Leftists are picky and choosy with Lenin. I do find that understanding how they view Imperialism makes a lot of their takes make sense from their perspective. however. It brings me to my largest (probable) disagreement with you, however.
I do not expect you to agree with this, but I believe where you and I differ is our stance on Lemmy's population. It is my belief that on Lemmy, there are relatively few bad actors, and therefore the sheer amount of Leftist infighting causes more overall harm than good. There are relatively extremely few accelerationists, PatSocs, MAGA Communists, or otherwise bad-faith "leftists" on Lemmy, the majority from what I have seen have at least read theory and can be reasoned with.
Again, I don't expect you to agree with that, but I do want to hear your POV on that.
As for calling me a fascist, you did so here, which I snapped back on. That's what gave me the initial impression that you are just looking to pick fights with Leftists, rather than have a conversation. We are having one now, so that's much better than I originally thought, so I'll take the L on that.
