While I don't agree with Lemmygrad politically, they are civil, respect community rules and don't spam. It's not like they are calling for violence or posting CP or unmarked gore. If you don't want to see socialists in your feed, just block them.

gasp! not a ... hang on, let me adjust my glasses ... not a blurry outline of something resembling a tank! 😱
Marxist Leninist/Stalinist viewpoints are violent by default. It's completely part of their theory that violent revolution is required to overthrow the status quo to implement the Vanguard State (more violence, though through the guise of conformity) and without that there is no ability to transition to communist society.
All ideologies are violent by default. It's just whether that violence is intended to enforce the current order and property claims or used to overthrow that order.
Most ideologies don't literally advocate for violence as part of reaching it's goals. While people who enact those ideologies might use violence to enforce them it's not a core tenet like how it is for ML.
