Discussion Community for fellow Marxist-Leninists and other Marxists.

Rules for /c/communism

Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.

  1. No non-marxists

This subreddit is here to facilitate discussion between marxists.

There are other communities aimed at helping along new communists. This community isn't here to convert naysayers to marxism.

If you are a member of the police, armed forces, or any other part of the repressive state apparatus of capitalist nations, you will be banned.

  1. No oppressive language

Do not attempt to justify your use of oppressive language.

Doing this will almost assuredly result in a ban. Accept the criticism in a principled manner, edit your post or comment accordingly, and move on, learning from your mistake.

We believe that speech, like everything else, has a class character, and that some speech can be oppressive. This is why speech that is patriarchal, white supremacist, cissupremacist, homophobic, ableist, or otherwise oppressive is banned.

TERF is not a slur.

  1. No low quality or off-topic posts

Posts that are low-effort or otherwise irrelevant will be removed.

This is not a place to engage in meta-drama or discuss random reactionaries on lemmy or anywhere else.

This includes memes and circlejerking.

This includes most images, such as random books or memorabilia you found.

We ask that amerikan posters refrain from posting about US bourgeois politics. The rest of the world really doesn’t care that much.

  1. No basic questions about marxism

Posts asking entry-level questions will be removed.

Questions like “What is Maoism?” or “Why do Stalinists believe what they do?” will be removed, as they are not the focus on this forum.

  1. No sectarianism

Marxists of all tendencies are welcome here.

Refrain from sectarianism, defined here as unprincipled criticism. Posts trash-talking a certain tendency or marxist figure will be removed. Circlejerking, throwing insults around, and other pettiness is unacceptable.

If criticisms must be made, make them in a principled manner, applying Marxist analysis.

The goal of this subreddit is the accretion of theory and knowledge and the promotion of quality discussion and criticism.

what do you think of this page? it has pretty interesting info about the most classic epstein-like event: the dutroux affair, it has some weird antics like "bay of pigs was a planned failure" but anyways

capitalism.lemmy removed a comment where I used the word "sucks" so I want to see If this instance is just as lame. If so I will block it as I have no time for that nonsense.

[–] AdminBot@programming.dev 1 points 9 hours ago

Your comment was auto-removed for profanity, an admin will review it and undelete it soon if there has been an error. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I’m not familiar with it. https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Wikispooks:Site_Rationale

Party politics has evolved into an effective way of motivating passionate, distracting activity and dispute among citizens over trivia, while obscuring the reality that a large proportion of "leaders" of public organisations are in fact mere puppets, in thrall to hidden organisations with secret agendas - organs of what Peter Dale Scott has referred to as a supranational deep state. Wikispooks seeks to follow the strings of these puppet leaders and find out who is pulling them and why ...

They draw on the likes of Peter Dale Scott, Ola Tunander, Lance deHaven-Smith, and Aaron Good. They seem not to have great class analysis or imperialist analysis. I expect they’ll get some things right while having blind spots in other areas. For instance this entry is all over the place: https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Tiananmen, and this one is more skeptical of the Western narrative than Wikipedia https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Holodomor
