Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

The sub sidebar has Mao in it lmao what the fuck even is their stance

Anyway the fact that reddit-logo hasn't even quarantined them yet means they aren't a threat to the status quo, and if the status quo isn't afraid of them they're not very good communists.

That subreddit is an op. This is the top post (and the accompanying top comment on that post) right now:

EDIT:

I cannot find much info about Chuangcn.org but from their about page they sound Gonzaloist. Also their domain registrar is Godaddy so make of that what you will:

[–] olgas_husband@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

oh, i see, western marxist

[–] Kultronx@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 10 months ago

heavily western leftcom influenced for sure. they post anonymously but i wouldn't doubt that their class character is of privileged western educated rich expat petty bourgeoisie

I like how the comment asks whether China "will become" socialist not even bothering to ask whether they are proceeding from a false premise. No, China will not become socialist by 2050 because it already is socialist and has been since its liberation in 1949.

That subreddit is so aggressively incurious and so offended by the mere concept of learning something new which contradicts their preconceptions that i am starting to believe it cannot be anything other than an op. Maybe it didn't start out that way but it is one now.

Id take it a step farther and say that I wouldnt address the "socialistness" of an institution as a binary, but as a spectrum of characteristics (of which the PRC/CPC has many, but is lacking others)

[–] funky_tomatoe@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 10 months ago

Yes this was the post I replied to lol

I'm pretty sure that sub was celebrating Gonzalo and banning anyone who spoke against the Shining Path, so yeah.

[–] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 10 months ago

banning anyone who spoke against the Shining Path

Close but it was worse than this. They autobanned anyone who had ever posted in a subreddit they considered suspect like GenZedong.

[–] funky_tomatoe@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Got banned for saying that China isn't state capitalist. Tbf I didn't really say it just copy and pasted some great comment from the GenZhou archive and linked to lemmygrad, but they got mad at me.

r/communism is one of the many slogan leftist subs in Reddit that self-identifies as leftist and then help the Western European diaspora tank anyone that threatens Pax Americana authoritarianism in their hypocritical opposition towards their own tankiejerker slogan. One of the indicators of the impersonation is the refusal to accept any belief other than the lies by Pax Americana, Bretton Woods institutions, and Western European diaspora. Another indicator is their hostile reaction towards any evidence that prove that Communist countries has success of human rights or economic advancement. Another indicator is their use of redefinition of dictatorship to mean authoritarianism or totalitarianism to confuse people or their use of vaguely defined authoritarianism or totalitarianism as meaningless slurs.

It's a right of passage for many leftists, don't worry about it.

Seems like they should read some theory

Today, the bourgeoisie and the opportunists within the labor movement concur in this doctoring of Marxism. They omit, obscure, or distort the revolutionary side of this theory, its revolutionary soul. They push to the foreground and extol what is or seems acceptable to the bourgeoisie. All the social-chauvinists are now “Marxists” (don’t laugh!).
