Yes; the same way we Communists can sniff out Nazis with their disingenuous arguements, Nazis are able to generally sniff out Communists with their inability to completely go along with racist rhetoric. Hexbear bans Nazis because of their repugnant ideology, ShitJustWorks bans Communists because of their "repugnant ideology".
I'm not even really a communist though? Like, don't get me wrong I sympathize pretty hard with communists, but I'm not reading all those books (seriously). I organize mostly with anarchists because I know a bunch of cool ones around here doing cool shit. It really seems like they just did not like any interruption to their brainwashing circlejerk.
Anything to the left of the state department is a tankie to a lot of people
Eh, from the perspective of communists it's which class you fight for the benefit of. They care about the benefit of the bourgeois class, you care about and work towards the benefit of the working class; thus by Lenin's system of classification you'd simply be a socialist of some stripe. So, yeah, you might not be a communist but we're working together so who gaf
Fair enough and I'll take it.

Congrats, in the eyes of right-wingers you're now a communist. They don't differentiate between left-wingers just like we don't really differentiate between "conservatives" and "fascists".
Someone who works and organizes for the benefit of the working class is infinitely more productive than someone who just sits around absorbing increasingly esoteric snippets of Marxist lore.
no more half measures walter
No one is simply born a communist shitposter. But as you live among us you will learn our ways until you, too, casually drop a "stalin shouldn't have stopped at berlin" joke at a family dinner.
Do better
Read all those books and I'll give you a comradely pat on the back and a red star.
