You would have to be paranoid to the point of insanity to believe that socialists are secretly in the pay of China and Russia. Yet this is what will pass for acceptable centrism on lemmy.world, while socialist critiques are deemed extremist and too dangerous to allow.
This is what true projection is.

Hexbear is for left-unity and has users that range from all spectrums of the left. The clear message here is, if your on the left, lemmy.world is not the place for you. If you support the free exchange of ideas, lemmy.world is not the place for you. The mods couldn’t even be bothered to lie about which rules hexbear users were supposedly going to violate.
Where Marxists have free reign, they find converts. There is a reason you don’t find them on the television or in the newspaper. It is absolutely essential that they be shut out, and that myths about ‘Tankies’ supporting oligarchy, oppression, social conservatism and everything else they stand firmly against be spread. This is how propaganda works. It is also the extent of the ‘free speech’ that conservatives and liberals uphold as the highest of values. Free speech is permitted, so long as it doesn’t challenge the status quo. You can use your favourite slur, but you can’t criticise NATO.
Exactly. What if I, as a landlord, want to post about the tenants I am evicting because they can’t pay their rent. Just imagining the violent howling of the lower class hexbear mob makes my stomach sick. I support free speech but not when that speech is used against me.
