Ngl, I think Hexbear/Lemmygrad moderators/admins should consier making a left-unity instance inspired on Lemmy-world, I think that is needed for sure. But I don’t know how to convince the left on Lemmy to doing so. I even let the idea of a hypothetical instance like LemmyLeft or LeftLemmy, I dunno which name to use. But still, I think they should consider making a left-unity instance for go against Lemmy-world and try to get the most amount of leftists, socialists, communists, tankies, Anarchists, etc as possible.
I don’t think it is sectarianism, it is more like “unitedfrontism” for do not say otherwise. We need to do unite ourselves and do actual opposition to the Lemmy-world, because that is what class struggle is about, or better, a digital class struggle. But keep in mind I am not saying for brigading nor anything like that, but rather a “Lemmy Cold War” between Lemmy-World and a hypothetical LemmyLeft/LeftLemmy.
TLDR: Basically the moderators of Hexbear/Lemmygrad should consider making a Left-Unity United Front instance for deal with the far-rightism from Lemmy-world.
I hope this kind of post is allowed here, but plz, mods, take it as a suggestion, plz.
The United Front is a strategy employed by organizations which subordinate class struggle towards a specific goal–typically this is war goal: anti-Japan united front, anti-fascist united front, etc. It must temper itself to follow the revolutionary line, to know when to enter into alliances, and when the break them–“to fall back the better to leap forward;” to avoid the errors of opportunism, and outright capitulation… That’s all good & obvious, but it leads to the corollary: why are we talking about an internet forum as if it were the Communist Party? It’s not and can never be! You’re just confusing terms here, ‘digital class struggle’ is an absurd concept, and whatever concrete truth this was amalgamated from has no bearing whatsoever on running an internet forum. Its like our organizing is so anemic, our practice so non-existent, that out of sheer desperation many would rather invent phantasms than to confront the daunting task of starting anew.
