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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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

MODERATORS
We all know Stalin had a personality cult develop (unwillingly) around him. And some correction was going to happen even without the revisionism of the nomenklatura taking it to extremes.
That doesn't mean we can or should discount Stalin as a leader or theorist, and it's bizzare to me that anyone does. Just because I disagree with Lenin or Mao or even Deng on some (the latter many) points doesn't mean that they aren't communists in good standing.
It's important to transition from the liberal challenge of "identifying one's enemies correctly" to the constructive "identifying one's allies correctly" which is actually useful to building a socialist culture around you.
