The particular “communists” in question on Lemmy are at worst naive idealists. They’re not calling for fundamental human rights being stripped away or genocide. They’re egalitarians – regardless of if you believe them to be misguided or not.

At their core the “communists” on here are for the most part far better human beings than the fascists. I’d rather deal with their talk of “class warfare”, “eating the rich”, and hatred of capitalism than hearing about how queer people should be killed.
