IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)
On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!
Do you love transgenders?
Do you love communism?
Do you love queer romance?
Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?
Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?
Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?
All of the answers should be: YES I DO or else I WILL BAN YOU
Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY
The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists 
, Zionists 
(they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) 
in Bosporus, and the monarchs 
of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.
On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union 
is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain 
)that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human 
, Shimmi 
(Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran 
(a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.
First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist 
leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home 
, but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light. 
As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...
And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.
Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands
All are Communists 
All serve the Union 
All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism 
but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt
Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
i dont think its all cool, i definitely think they need better representation in the fact that even though they are sometimes enemies, the left CAN and DOES unify to fight the true greater evils. Anarchists commonly work with communists to bash the fash. the left unity struggles during fascist occupations are examples of this. Left Unity is real and anarchists can be our comrades.
But at the same time they can be our enemies. The Spanish civil war had the anarchists split from the communists and condemning the spanish left to doom. The Anarchists in that one part of ukraine, and the constant fighting between the black and red armies. Every instance of anarchist revolution and socialist revolution usually has them both fighting each other.
I think the author could definitely try to represent both sides of the interactions between anarchists and communists, left unity and left infighting, instead of just left infighting. That is what the United Front negotiations are touching on at the moment. It also represents the Marxists as very overzealous in their fighting with anarchists and is actually represented as very childish. why are you arguing with anarchists over minute differences when you're trying to literally unite to fight actual fucking nazis???
The existence of the sectarianism rules does kind of provide a bubble in hexbear. We must dull the edges of our ideology that are inherently antagonistic to each other, and the long long bad history between us. These arguments flare up around hexbear and must be put down to keep it all together. This causes a sort of ideological mish mash where people think this is normal and usual, even though i have been unable to find any other such left unity on the entire internet. I come from Lemmygrad, and Lemmygrad literally bans anarchists of all stripes. As such there is no necessary discussion of compromising whos demands to fit whos agenda and whatnot. Although it is very effective and I myself really like left unity since I see it as far more useful to ally ourselves with anarchists than fight them.
I did think of Banderites when this came up. And that's interesting about the United Front stuff, if I ever pick it up again I will try to @ you about it. I gotta say this is a way less disagreeable take than I'd expect from you, guess the rule is doing its job. Looking outside, it seems like unifying to fight true greater evils would be a pretty good idea, I agree.
I know the rule, spent a lot of time reading the Lemmygrad rules, I have an account. Definitely a certified Lemmygrad Moment, of which there are several.
It's also not lost on me that this stuff in Unjust Depths (very probably) comes from the author's experiences, which does give me pause, I dunno. I do not hate Madiha for that, 'cause fuck, I dunno. If I ever read more I'll post about it though.
