Should we allow the newly created "politics unfiltered" community to continue posting reactionary electoralist nonsense from clickbait tabloids, or should we show them the door? (lemmygrad.ml)

You might have been able to infer this from the title, but I don't believe this community is a good fit for Lemmygrad.

I'm more concerned about the new community dedicated to a Trotskyist party. The newly created c/socialist also just seems redundant and you could use c/socialism or c/communism instead.

If you can provide me with evidence that the [email protected] community is linked to Trotskyism, I'll go ahead and remove it. I would do the google myself, but I'm a little too busy at the moment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(United_States)

The Socialist Workers Party (SWP) is a communist party in the United States. The SWP began as a group which, because it supported Leon Trotsky over Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, was expelled from the Communist Party USA.

Until the collapse of the Soviet Union, the SWP was the largest Trotskyist organization in the United States.

During the 2020s, the SWP has defended "Israel's right to exist" and "right to defend itself", especially during the Israel–Hamas war. This contrasts with other U.S. socialist organizations, which take an anti-Zionist position and defend Palestinian nationalism.
