Being a leftist requires one to oppose capitalism.

Leninism is a blatantly capitalist system that pretends otherwise.

Also, they don't oppose bigotry. Once someone from Hexbear said that Hexbear was more pro-trans than any trans space was, and their fellows seemed to agree with them. Paying lip service to anti-bigotry does not mean one is not an ignorant bigot to the core.

Edit: there are other problems with what you said, but frankly, I'm not going to waste my time addressing every part of the gish-Gallup.

Hexbear is anticapitalist. Like I already stated, they are Marxists and Anarchists, and oppose Capitalism.

Marxism-Leninism is not Capitalist. You don't have to agree with it being a good idea, or support it, but to pretend that advocating for a worker state and elimination of the bourgeois class is somehow Capitalist is anti-Marxist, not just anti-Lenin.

Hexbear does oppose bigotry. It's a bannable offense there. Some of the largest trans spaces on Lemmy are on Hexbear, so trans people agreeing that it is a good trans space doesn't somehow indicate that they are actually pro-bigotry, that's absurd.

Is it all just vibes from you?

Edit for your Edit: what problems are there with what I've said? Do you think a group of right-wingers are reading Marx and supporting trans people for shits and giggles?

What part of refusing to engage with a gish-gallop is difficult to understand?

Let's talk about one thing: MLs aren't socialists. And stalinists (the loudest part of Hexbear) definitely aren't socialists. Capitalism is defined by the employee-employer relationship. MLism enshrines this relationship, and turns the state into a universal employer. That makes MLism a capitalist ideology by definition.

Im with u, but the HBers apparently came out in force. Hexbear regularly has sided with russia over Ukraine, as well, AKA imperialism.

Cashless, classless, stateless does not align with with the ccp or russia who they continually defend and whose talking points they parrot. The gish gallop u called out is a fave of theirs. Just leaving this here so theres more traces of sanity against them.
