Why is Lemmygrad hated in the wider space of Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

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?

I pretty much enjoy most of what I see from hexbear, but I have blocked a bunch of stuff from lemmygrad.

A lot of it is McCarthyism, though i've personally had my problems with hexbear and you should probably stay away from them.

There’s a lot of anger at communism as a result of all the lives it’s taken over the last century.

Far-left echo chamber that from my experience really hates Jews.

Hating the settler colonial, apartheid State of Israel, which has been ethnically cleansing for three generations and is committing genocide as we speak, is not antisemitism.

Not just Jews. They also hate any LGBT+ people they deem not queer or marginalized enough.

Strange question. Nothing's wrong with them? Nobody's hating on them. Just people...

Karl Marx had some great ideas. It's too bad everyone who identifies as a Marxist has such a twisted worldview.

Please don't speak of Marxism without understanding it

Some people are to hypothetical conversation what a boulder is to the wind.
