I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of ‘hitlerites’

I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?

    It’s a reference to horseshoe theory with the addition of the left wing where it’s actually democratic as opposed to communism authoritarianism which can resemble fascist authoritarianism in a war economy.

        For some reason they are more pro Russian suppression state, Chinese one-party censorship state and even apologise for DPRK. It’s pretty tall order to call any of those democratic. Then from my discussion with tankies they often advocate for an armed revolution which are very undemocratic in their nature and often lead to one-party states or a military junta government.

        Marxist-Leninism is a democratic ideology but the way tankies talk doesn’t sound very democratic to me.
