Lemmy is by far mostly actual leftists and fake leftists like tankies.

I know I have a scary .ml handle, but please bear with me, because I genuinely want to understand.

Marxism-Leninism, whatever you think of the vicissitudes of its theoretical claims, has been the form of socialism which has seized power, more than any other.

Otherwise there are maoist insurgencies that dot south Asia, some anarchist projects throughout the world, and Trotskyists haven’t made Revolution anywhere.

If you ask me, those other tendencies are still my comrades, I support their struggles, and their histories are mine as well. But I don’t see them proliferating themselves much further than they already have.

What Socialist experiments would you consider “real”, and how are they more real than ML?
