Please tell me which subs you go to find extremist leftists

They’re all over the place, but I suppose I encounter them most in the news and politics forums.

I mean iunno about subs but for instances hexbear is largely known as the tankie instance. For the other kind of extreme leftists, the anarchists seem much more spread out even than they were back on reddit
