Communism
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.

So you have history on Reddit and admit it. Like, yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Also, yeah, I'm anti-Maoism. I follow Mao Zedong Thought, not Maoism.
I'm BIPOC, not a settler. Go away if you're going to be chauvinistic and rude toward me.
You really do love deflection like the rest of your party that you claim "like-mindedness" over. Multiple times I explained to you my own experiences while not denying anyone elses, provided sources and other experiences similar to mine from a thread entirely dedicated to your party's bullshit and in response you kick and scream like a toddler claiming Prolewiki, Reddit, this website and "third-pillars" convenient to your own generalizations while decrying false Marxists. No wonder your party is seen as a joke; you must be the jester?
I found this community on my own. Was banned from Reddit over two years ago before I knew what "chapo", hexbear or lemmygrad even was. So, in a GENERALIZATION, yes, I'm from Reddit. The crazy thing though, I was a communist before I discovered Reddit. Weird how that works. Bit different now, eh?
Also, chauvinism isn't anything you don't like.
Fucking pathetic. Shapiro would be proud at your demonstration of facts and logic against the false internet Marxists.
There is no justification for condemning resistance to genocide.
