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.

So what we expected finally happened.

Reddit quarantined (and might soon ban) the most active communist subreddit, and one of the very few non-western-supremacist ones left.

We've gotten dozens of new applications, and are approving them as quickly as we can.

Here are a few Lemmy mobile apps for Android and iOS, if you prefer using those over the web app.

If you have any questions, or if there's anything we can help with, new ideas or communities, or anything that can make the transition away from stormfront easier, let us on the mod team know.

Reddit, Silicon valley, surveillance capitalism, bourgeois media, down with them!

Another welcome post describing Lemmy.

I am so glad to be here and accepted in this community. As long as we're together, it doesn't matter where we are! And people will look back and wonder why some of us stayed on 'reddit' or any other top major platform owned by a huge corporation. I love all of you and I am so relieved that we have active spaces for us.

So this is Lemmygrad, huh? Nice. Where's the bathrooms?

Hope so, those early days right after GenZedong got quarantined and everyone moved to lemmygrad seemed to be the most active.

So glad to be here. We will stand strong.

The West will fall, looking forward to engaging in the dialectics of it all with my comrades.

Down with the American Empire!
