I've been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

      Liberals don't even really hate fascists, they just pretend to condemn them to keep up international appearances; as the past year's slippage, then shameless tearing-off of the mask has shown us. No one should be surprised by this, either-- the American way has always been clad in a pointy white robe, clutching a rifle in white-knuckled hands; if you peel back all the mythologizing.

        Its a country founded on genocide that deported as many communists as they could in the 50s then killed and arrested the rest that remained.

        Lets not forget the active genocides they carried out in vietnam or the middle east either, or the concentration camp they have open on cuba.

      It's nonsense statements like this that should provide the answer to OP's question. When push came to shove in WW2, liberalism in the US, UK, and elsewhere sided with communism against fascism.
