Ive heard theres a lot of bigotry in ml spaces, particularly against women and lgbtq+. So i think sharing your experiences would allow us to learn from them. Im pretty sure this is a safe space, at least i hope so lol.
Edit: I apoligize for giving little to no profundization.(im not used to this reddit like social media, i only use discord)
I mostly asked this because i was thinking about joining Communist Party of Spain and i had heard concerning things about other communist poarties in the imperial core like the yankee one, and the british one. And i also saw this short https://www.youtube.com/shorts/poc6t6qO1VM and i was really worried about it.
Anyways thanks for answering and im glad the responses were so reassuring.
You shouldn’t believe everything you hear. I have not seen any of that here, and in general i find communist spaces are some of the most progressive spaces that exist, especially IRL. Of course people with reactionary views on some issues still exist because these views exist in any society and will be reflected to some degree in any group that arises out of that society, but as a percentage they are much, much less prevalent in communist spaces than they are pretty much anywhere else.
The notion that MLs in particular are somehow uniquely bigoted against this or that group is a pure propaganda narrative spread by the ideological enemies of communism and you shouldn’t fall for such cheap tricks.
Marxist-Leninists believe in the fundamental equality of all humans regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation, and the liberation and dignity of all oppressed people.
