I struggle to understand lemmygrad. They advertise the instance as Marxist, but like you said they are reflexively pro-Russia and call you a western pig if you try to point out that Russia is also capitalist and not even remotely Marxist

Agreed. I found many users there unable to distinguish between capitalism itself as a system, authoritarian and corpocratic political systems, and individuals who live within those systems.

I think it's mostly kids from the US who realise their government is lying to them and has been for a long while, so they just flip the binary switch and see everything the exact opposite way.

Honestly I would like to see an example of that, because my experience there so far is so completely removed from this that I don’t understand where do people get these takes from

They literally have a tank in their banner.

A minute of searching lead me here. Just read the comments.

Edit: or this. Literally defending Stalin.
