    A label, in all honesty. Historically they’re not left nor right nor middle. They can have ideologies of many, but too long to get into here. I was being pedantic because it’s a slight bug of mine when they are labelled and boxed like that. For example Nikolai Bukharin and Alexei Rykov (Bukharinists) and others like Joseph Stalin were not considered left but were communist.

    I’m being a little pedantic here, but “far left (as in actually communist)” wasn’t a thing until these recent online debates and forming groups started putting labels on groups and putting them into boxes. Communists are not necessarily left, nor far left. It feels a bit weird to ‘put’ them anywhere. That said, I know nothing about hexbear or this little group on Lemmy and how they identify…


















  • So many ways to answer that without being facetious. It may be a bit of a gamble to take a stand, but it would show how strongly they feel about the genocide. Unless they are genuinely just worried about the anti-Semitic comments. Having others take a stand behind/beside them, may mean there is no fine to pay, or there will be enough support to help pay the fine. Unfortunately only one way to find out. My money would be that others would have taken a stance with Ireland. But as it is, nobody stood. The Irish team seen to have just taken offence to being called anti-semitic.
