    I saw the Hammer and Sickle on lemmy.ml and that was enough for me to know that they were probably Campists and Stalinists lol.

    I guess it’s good Lemmy has the different instances(?) even tho it’s a bit annoying.

      There’s going to be Marxists on Lemmy, the lead developers of the software are Marxist-Leninists and some of the largest instances are explicitly Socialist-aligned.

              The hammer and sickle is a symbol of Marxism-Leninism, though, the hammer being for the proletariat and sickle for the peasantry. This is just kinda silly

                But it’s associated in my experience with uncritical support of the USSR in the Stalinist period.

                  The overwhelming majority of Marxist-Leninists support the USSR, but don’t feel that it was a paradise nor free from mistake, including in the era of Stalin. The hammer and sickle is associated with Marxism-Leninism, and the various Marxist-Leninist parties, groups, and countries around the world.
