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?

    Yeah, they have a very alternative interpretation of geopolitics and they’re loud about it. If there was a flat earth instance with users that spammed every physics thread there would be some grumbling just the same.

      An liberal idealist who compares “geopolitics” to an exact science, and materialist Marxism to a belief in a flat earth, is like an religious obscurantist who attacks a nuclear physicist for lack of science. Do me a favor. Read some actual scholarly literature on politics, (liberal subreddits and CNN don’t count), before you open your mouth. You’re embarrassing yourself.

        Cool story. You’re right, it’s not an exact science, so why are you so sure about your perspective on it either? I think the answer is “identity”.

        As for my reading list, I’ve probably gotten further into Das Capital than you have, and it belongs on the side of electrification that it was written on.

          Apparently not far enough to be able to spell the German title correctly.
