Why is Lemmygrad hated in the wider space of Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

I've been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

Between them and all the goons over at Hexbear…. They’re basically the r/the_donald of the left.

I’m convinced that it began as a big troll/joke amongst them, and that we’re just about at the point where all the dumbasses begin to take it seriously.

Far-left echo chamber that from my experience really hates Jews.

Well it's because they are Marxist.
In the Lemmy culture Marxism has a very bad name because almost religious overtones of its adherents.

Which is of ironically very much what Marx was warning against. But that's how it works right now.

I pretty much enjoy most of what I see from hexbear, but I have blocked a bunch of stuff from lemmygrad.
