Came here wondering the same. Saw Pluto's 2 month old crosspost in the modlog, deleted for "links to revisionist hellhole" and was like... "wait, they're calling hexbear revisionist? lol." I mean, weirdos raging at hexbear isn't new or surprising to me, but revisionism isn't an accusation I expected to see levied at the place.

It's been funny reading this thread and seeing some hexbears that are just now having the misfortune of being exposed to the cringe that is NAFO for the first time.

In the newsmega we've been coping with the agni-pain by dunking on them for 2 years now. gigachad-hd

I think it still has highest number of posts and comments per day or something? It's no longer the highest number in terms of users, but there is some basic metric of activity where hexbear still is quantifiably at the top. But anyway you're right about the quality, that's what's important.

Also, using encryption "as cover" makes all the difference here. It's massively consequential as this news story makes obvious. The person you're responding to is just being obtuse.

Also yes onus is on the Proletariat

Wait, are you joking? fry That is the opposite of what Pluto said...

It's been a fun while trying to figure out if I'm suffering from depression or just being understandably negative

Not at all mutually exclusive.

I was with you until the last paragraph. It is correct to say that state capitalism as defined by ultras is something that can exist, for as you said, if you switched the major corporations' boards of trustees with de facto heads of state (and did nothing else to change the relationship workers have to the means of production) then that's essentially what you would have: state capitalism. Given the revolving door that sees CEOs becoming politicians, that's not too far off from a lot of our so-called liberal democracies we actually have in the west, it's just that a pretense of a delineation between the two (as well as a pretense of public approval) is maintained.

But the key thing to understand here is the part about the worker's relationship to the means of production. As robin_IV already explained, the state is simply the tool that the ruling class uses to enforce its interests. It makes no sense to say that the state "should not be getting all that power over the workers" if it is the workers who are the ones wielding the state. And that is definitely desirable! It's what we desire as communists who recognize we can't achieve a classless society in one fell swoop.

I refuse to use the "real" version of that shit website and will only use nitter frontends even though they're mostly dead now and it can be a minor pain to find a working one. For what it's worth, nitter.no-logs.com just worked for me to view that thread though.

Zionists deserve much worse than "less interesting" matches.

The rare case where youtube comments are mostly good (and taking the dipshits in the video to task).
