Like it's only so long until a user there posts a dumbass "Kick Tankies out of Lemmy" meme to try and start shit to get us defedded and hexbears take the bait immediately and pile on to tell them what a dumbass they are.

Like as dumb as the "death to NATO" being compared to "death to the people of NATO" stuff was, blahaj and hexbear are the largest queer instances and I quite like taking part in it and their trans communities, idk it's kinda nice to interact with people who don't have the same kind of hexbear brainrot where I see the words "pumpkin spice", "Maoist cult", "Soyfacing PMC radlib" or "rock stacking" and immediately start to go :sus: mentally, it feels refreshing to be able to talk to an incredibly queer positive community that doesn't have the same kind of internet poisoning as all of us. And it seems kind of assholy that some of the users here just don't give a shit and want to post and dunk until we get defedded by every instance, this isn't like lemmy.ca where they were all dicks that none of us liked anyway and were complaining about us doing hate speech against fucking landlords or lemm.ee where almost every time time a user from there pops their head into our threads here they say something racist or transphobic. iirc blahaj.zone was actually the second most requested instance to federate with in the pre federation discussions due to how good of a queer space it was.

Like their first defed thread was a complete embarrassment because there were a load of users there that actually had positive opinions towards us and then they saw the shitshow happening once from the post reaching active and changed to be way against us which tbh, fair enough.

      pit "we want to kill all Jews, black people, queers, romas, communists, unionists, disabled people, antifascists and Slavs"

      hexbear-logo "we want to suppress or kill Nazis so they can't do that"

      You: "I can't tell the difference between these two groups, they are exactly the same, if you punch a Nazi that makes you no better than them"

      I'm an anarchist myself, but if you try to approach their argument logically I think you'll have a better chance of understanding why people might come to different conclusions than you.

      If the bourgeois were left to their own devices, it stands to reason they'd be back on their shit as soon as they saw a chance. In that light, an oppression of the formerly oppressive minority for the benefit of the majority (literally everyone else) might seem like a necessity.

      Based on what theory I've read, that and protections from external capitalist pressures are the entire reason for implementing a 'dictatorship of the proletariat'.

      I'm not saying you're wrong here, just that some empathy might help some leftist unity along into helping more people see things our way.

        There is a second major reason:

        The bourgeoisie, by their nature as a class, inherently need a working class from which to extract profit. Therefore, if they are in charge of the state, they will seek to perpetuate the existence of a working class under them.

        The proletariat does not inherently need an owning class over them, because that owning class fundamentally serves as a middleman hampering production. There can be and currently is, however, a circumstantial need for them due to their cheap administrative labor (relative to the cost of state administrative labor). Because of this, a state controlled by the proletariat will remove the bourgeoisie as they stop being useful in various industries, and eventually should entirely destroy the class and therefore class itself.

      Reality isn’t a superhero movie, if you want to combat systems that oppress people you need to be practical and make sure that the people enforcing the oppressive systems can’t just undermine you and re-establish them, an outcome that has actually happened in places like Chile in the 1970s
