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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

A user from another instance pointed out the “generate explanations” prompt is horrendous too
Didn't realise Ayn Rand dabbled in writing textbooks.
I have a certain morbid curiosity to see the rest of the chapter.
Capitalism is the dictatorship of the proletariat? Deez nuts are the means of production. Owned, Tongeez! Sluva Ukreenie!
FYI, you can cross post posts in different communities instead of reposting individually.
Oh, first time I see that, the app doesn’t give that option
It's on the web UI. I can't speak for the apps.
I guess that I’ll have to switch between the two to be able to do it. Thanks for letting me know!
Also you can post images without using imgur
Not OP, but this way, Lemmygrad servers don’t have to host the image
Ah okeeee
He looks great in that pic btw. Beard goals
I also heard Charles Mark last week say that in order for communism to succeed the means of production would have to be siezed by the booger-gee. Otherwise the proleterryate would end up with all the money. Then he went off and killed 67 gorbillion people with his bare hands and took my stuff.
It would be correct if it said bourgeoisie there, right?
I’m sort of wondering if it was a genuine mistake on the part of the textbook authors.
It could be a genuine mistake by the original writer, but I expect a textbook to have higher proofreading standards. Especially if this is a grade-school textbook (it looks like one), where you can't reasonably expect the student to reference other sources to verify the contents, then I would expect the textbook publisher to put a lot more effort in to catching this sort of thing. And I don't mean someone reading over it for typos, I mean someone who knows the field the book is written about, who can proofread for accuracy not just grammar. Genuine mistake or not, this is completely inexcusable.
Agreed
Yes and maybe? 🤷🏽♂️
They read the books. I can tell.
