I don’t get defederating unless you _want_an echo chamber. I like hearing from liberals, and conservatives, it makes me question my beliefs. I don’t want us all to think the same. That’s boring.
They call leftist spaces the "echo chambers," yet they are the ones rushing to shut up opinions they don't agree with by defederating. Kind of funny.
So when you guys say leftist, you mean communist right?
DemSoc (the people who think socialism can be voted in) is basically the least-radical tendency that it is site policy to treat at least somewhat respectfully. Other people can post, but the anti-sectarian rule doesn't apply to people who just want free healthcare and more bombs dropped on Somalia
Hexbear tries to be anti-sectarian, so I think the general definition of leftist here would be anti-capitalist.
The user base probably leans more ML/communist than anarchist, though.
We mean anyone who is fundamentally opposed to capitalism on the basis of its unequal and unjust distribution of wealth, and seeks a definitive break in favor of more democratic or representative control of the products and direction of society.
I want us all to think the same if the other options are libs/chuds
