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.

Ban socialists from entering what? His tree fort?

Since 2016-17 he promoted a law stating that communists from another countries cannot enter the USA, risking being arrested/deported (and whatnot).

That's my main reason for not wanting to visit the US, despite everyone on my family wanting to go there on a trip to Disney.

I personally don't care that if I can't get into the USA, I've never wanted to visit. What am I gonna see? Roads? Walmarts?

There are so many countries with beautiful cities and historic landmarks to visit, I would rather go there.

Not only that, but it's "Chinese communism" that later fascists will run with. It's the West's new "Judeo-Bolshevism."

If that's the case, every Asian-American should seriously start considering what their escape plan will be.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Or at the very least Asian-Americans should start arming themselves. Escaping America is not always an option.

They’re already targeting Jews as well

Trump says a lot of things which he has no plans of doing. The “We will remove [Insert ‘bad and scary’ word] from our country” is a classic

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I agree it's a lot of talk when in comes from Trump, but then on the other hand it does seem like we're not too many steps away from removing transgender people from the country. And as a trans person that freaks me the fuck out.
