Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
 

To the shame of the socialist movement, we have allowed “socialists” to join our ranks who do not care for the working class, who are obsessed with our transgender comrades, who seek to warp us into being oppressors, not liberators.

These “comrades” are easily spotted, often existing solely on the internet and in internal party meetings, never seen on pickets or in the community.

Again, we say look at America, the anti-trans movement there has led to oppression against all women.

Will our “comrades” hang their heads in shame as Britain takes the same path? Or will they continue to pathetically parrot anti-Marxist and transphobic lines?

Shwmae gymrodyr / hello comrades! I’m a member of Plaid Gomiwnyddol Cymru and the Welsh Underground Network (joined back when it was just Valleys Underground!).

Thanks for sharing our statement - it’s important that people know that transphobia isn’t baked into the Marxist-Leninist tradition, instead it’s something that’s emerged alongside opportunism, as seen in Britain but also in America with the new American “Communist” Party.

A comrade in y blaid (the party) suggested we could do a Q&A on here at some point if that’s of interest

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 28 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Absolutely we’d be interested! UK communism usually has the unfortunate association with CPGB-ML and I think exposing an alternative to this website would be fantastic

[–] Heddwchtirabara@hexbear.net 18 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I’ll get a bit more used to the site and then I’ll sort that out!

[–] Losurdo_Enjoyer@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

how'd you find this site, if you dont mind me asking?

[–] Heddwchtirabara@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It’s a terrible habit but whenever we make a ‘big’ statement, I’ll do a google searches for mentions about us in the last week. This thread/site came up.

Good you did! Hexbear and Lemmygrad are fine communities.

Smae! Theres a good chance i follow you on twitter or bluesky lol. Always been a big fan of yalls work, just a shame it all started up as I moved to Saesland 😮‍💨

Keep it up. Wales deserves a true vanguard and that can only be delivered through the powerful work on the ground being done with WUG/PGC.

[–] Heddwchtirabara@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

Yeah that happens - I was helping at a screening on a Cuban film recently and someone walked in and said “oh I heard about this because I follow X on BlueSky” (me). Bit embarrassing and surreal!

If you want to, you can pop us an email, we always try to find a way to involve communists who have left Wales in our movement, we've got a small network of diaspora we work with. Diolch cymrawd.

Oh now that's a neat thing to learn, welsh communists.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Never thought I would find something to be proud of the welsh part of my ancestry for lol

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 24 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

If I was welsh, id be proud of it anyways because fuck the English, Cymru am byth.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Welsh orthography isn't THAT hard...

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)
