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

MODERATORS
I mean, the problem is their access to power. If these dudes were working class they'd have never killed 6 children. Their bodies aren't irredeemable, only their relationship to capital. We don't need to destroy the body, only the relationship.
If you take everything from a capitalist short of their life, you have created a fascist radical. People are not just their mechanical body and current social standing but also a psychology built upon past experiences
China is not in a position to be threatened by a couple of former capitalists, especially if they're willing to put as much money into monitoring and rehabilitating them as they would have been incarcerating and eventually executing them. This is not civil war era russia we're talking about
but the existing capitalists deserve nothing more than death
And this fundamental disagreement in values is why I'm an anarchist and not an ML
How is this controversial? We'd put them on trial first!
Should we also just not shoot the fascists? Not gulag the reactionaries? Revolutions are not clean things, not in the slightest.
Because when anarchists say we're abolitionists we mean it
China is not in a revolution. They've very deliberately called truce with the capitalists.
Okay nope this is sectarian territory, bye
