I agree. We must have a more principled stance on Marxism. This is not to mean that Left Unity is not possible, rather that it is limited. Anarchism and Marxism are fundamentally incompatible with each other, hence we should not even bother to consider uniting together. This should be served as a safe space for marxists.
What with the hordes of unswayable liberal-dom making their way to using 'left' as a descriptor for themselves, I'm with it. We don't do 'left' unity in my house, we save that shit for the Marxists and maybe the anarchists, but they can't be settlers even in that case.
Nah atleast in my house no anarchists get to join in the unity. Anarchists can go do their anarchism elsewhere
I personally agree, if we need a dedicated theory comunity we still have https://lemmygrad.ml/c/genzhou
This feels like unnesisarily ceeding ground, with hexbear being the spot for generic left unity, and a potential federation on its way, lets leave the left unity there, and leave here dedicated to Marxist unity.
I would make the case that the main, pertinent criticism is that this community wants to be an exception to instance-wide policy, and with its 3rd rule contain that exceptional behaviour within that community. Under those circumstances it just makes sense for it to exist elsewhere; being here is going to create unnecessary work for both the community's mods and the instance's admins for no benefit at all.
For it to exist on a different instance is objectively better for all involved. That said, if it existed on an instance that practiced left-unity, it would be totally redundant. In which case, does it have a reason to exist at all? Any discussion started there can just as easily be started on existing communities on left-unity friendly instances we're already federated with.
And in consideration of all of the above, it just makes the reason for creating this community at all really rather suss. (edit: and it's created by a new user, a day after the user account was created... they either don't know this instance community at all, or they're hiding behind an alt).
I would be worried because I know some folks on hexbear have talked about wanting us to become hexbear 2, and with that low turn arround time I would be worried,
Maoists are not MLs or are at least revisionist; we shouldn't allow them in.
I don't think that it should be as there isn't really a dedicated theory community on lemmygrad that I know of (other than GenZhouArchive, but that's an archive). Analytical Unity is the closest I have found so far. I don't think it should be banned until a better alternative is made.
Also, are posts lost when a community is deleted on Lemmy?
No we have a dedicated theory community, It just has not been super active as we have used other comunities to spread theory in but here is GenZhou https://lemmygrad.ml/c/genzhou

i think they remain in the OP's account, but i have no idea.
like, communities are an empty shell with the individual posts, kinda.
i am new on lemmy, but i feel that, as long as they are on that sub, that is not a problem. like, it will be the little /c/ where anarchists will be allowed to talk and debate.
if they go to other /c/ will be a problem, but as long as it is contained, it can be a good ideia.
just put in the rules "This is the only community in the whole instance where anarchist ideology, in good faith, is allowed"
Anarchists are theoreticly allowed to talk anywhere, if they ask questions in good faith we will educate them, talk with them engage with them, but this instince isn't ment for anarchists, its a Marxist instance. This would be even more notable if hexbear federates, as they are all left unity and have the no unnecessary sectarianism, I dont personally see the need for the community here, and I agree with the original poster that it isn't appropriate here
People's Court
This is a community for Lemmygrad users and admins to discuss administrative issues in a more transparent manner
