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

I apparently skipped level ??? and went straight to believing the Black Book is fascist propaganda. I didn’t realize I was supposed to stan Pol Pot first!

I've seen Anarchists agree that Mao did the right thing with landlords

AC-AnarKitty violence against landlords doesn't require a state.

In fact, when Mao started that he wasn't even in charge of a state yet!

Most of the purges started when the ROC retreated and the peasants could do what they wanted without a capitalist state protecting their oppressors

The Communists actually regulated the violence. It would probably have been even worse if they didn't cannel it into trials. Even if those trials were show trials.

if you know an anarchist who doesn't, spoiler, they're probably not an anarchist lmao. Mao got the the thing with the landlords right is a left unity point.
