So here it is uploaded:

Smells like stankies, am I right.

Unfortunately it is in fact not.

Show me someone claiming modern day Russia is communist. I usually do not actually see this.

They didn’t cause the civil war, they attacked them during it.

The problem here is your understanding of socialism. European countries such as Denmark, Sweden, and Norway (etc.) have not had socialism. They have had social democracy, capitalism with social safety nets.

“Objective fact”^[1]. Also there are site wide (lemmy.ml) rules, which I assume is the one you are in violation of:

[rule 1] No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.

  We are sometimes inclined, I think unwisely, to treat democracy and dictatorship as two mutually exclusive terms, when in actual fact they may often represent two aspects of the same system of government. For example, if we turn to the Encyclopedia Britannica, to the article dealing with “Democracy,” we read: “Democracy is that form of government in which the people rules itself, either directly, as in the small city-states of Greece, or through representatives.”
  But the same writer goes on to say this: “All the people in the city-state did not have the right to participate in government, but only those who were citizens, in the legal and original sense. Outside this charmed circle of the privileged were the slaves, who had no voice whatever in the making of the laws under which they toiled. They had no political and hardly any civil rights; they were not ‘people.’ Thus the democracy of the Greek city-state was in the strict sense no democracy at all.”
  The Greek city-state has been cited time and again by historians as the birthplace of democracy. And yet, on reading the Encyclopedia Britannica, we find that in fact this was a democracy only for a “charmed circle of the privileged,” while the slaves, who did the work of the community, “had no voice whatever in the making of the laws under which they toiled.”
  The classical example of democracy was, then, a democracy only for certain people. For others, for those who did the hard work of the community, it was a dictatorship. At the very birthplace of democracy itself we find that democracy and dictatorship went hand in hand as two aspects of the same political system. To refer to the “democracy” of the Greek city-state without saying for whom this democracy existed is misleading. To describe the democracy of the Greek city-state without pointing out that it could only exist as a result of the toil of the slaves who “had no political and hardly any civil rights” falsifies the real history of the origin of democracy.
  Democracy, then, from its origin, has not precluded the simultaneous existence of dictatorship. The essential question which must be asked, when social systems appear to include elements both of democracy and dictatorship, is, “for whom is there democracy?” and “over whom is there a dictatorship?”

—Pat Sloan, in the Introduction to Soviet Democracy

Is this a bit where you try and be nonsensical? Because this makes no sense.

I tried giving you an out on the bolding thing by restating it differently. I made the mistake of seeing “IMF” and “NATO” in Cowbees and locking on to the second bullet point where “IMF” and “NATO” also is, but upon closer inspection realized that it was in fact the third one. If you made a similar mistake you could just have said that.

“It is in the Left’s interest for these organizations to be demolished” is bolded. That is the line Cowbee is referring to, “these organizations” are “organizations such as NATO, the IMF, and the World Bank” as written in the previous bullet point.

The rhetoric and goal of Hexbar are clear based on their announcement: to “dismantle western propaganda” and "demolish organizations such as NATO” shows that Hexbar has no intention of "respecting the rules of the community instance in which they are posting/commenting.” It’s to push their beliefs and ideology.

This is quoting the anti-imperialist parts, not the part where they tell them not to brigade or other such things, and saying that those mean hexbear has no intention of respecting the rules!

And if they really had a problem with this, then people that did the same on their instance would not be as Cowbee has pointed out:

Lemmy.world does not care about “idelogical warfare” itself as bad, as there are constant drama farms and prominent users and comms on Lemmy.world that directly state their intent is to push anti-communist views, yet these users are protected, made moderators, etc. Logically, therefore, it’s the views that matter, not the idea of “protecting against brigading.”

The problem is the beliefs and ideology (again why are they highlighting the anti-imperialist, i.e. communist, parts?) not the “pushing” part

End the sealioning already. Surely you have better things to use your time on.

It’s not about being “extreme” (and liberalism is plenty extreme, see books like The Jakarta Method, Killing Hope, and Liberalism: A Counter-History), it’s about liberalism being pro-capitalism and therefore Liberals not leftists.

why was there a newspaper to each workplace in which workers could write their complaints and their ideas

In which more than just airing complaints, something would be done
