Don't cheer for Communism (or China) , means to be anti-leftist??

Since when?

Since the Paris Commune.

Lemmy.world directly opposes Marxism, and Marxist instances. That's an anti-Leftist stance. Liberalism is the status quo, which is Right-Wing.

I don't agree. Lemmy.world opposed (very)exaggerated extremisms of all the kind so far. One of the first post i've read on lemmy one year ago was about the defederation of some nazi instances. Nothing is perfect but calling lemmy.world anti-Leftist is a bit of a stretch.

Not if you have rigorous definitions of terms. You can't call yourself a leftist and be anti-communist. The desire to abolish capitalism and move to a communist society is the defining trait of the left. The only distinction between tendencies is the method they wish to pursue that goal.

The problem with debates like this is that the only people participating in it who actually know what they're talking about are the communists.

Lemmy.world is explicitly against Marxism, they defederated from Lemmygrad and Hexbear because of this, and sabre-rattle about defederating from even Lemmy.ml. This is anti-Marxism, plain and simple.
