I’ve not been here long, but I’m curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.

    I have never once met a person who talks like this who has also made a good faith effort to under Marxist thought. Why are you so confident? We’ve been around for hundreds of years, we have a lively and robust intellectual landscape, and calling us red fash without even making an attempt to hear us out hurts you more than it hurts us.

      Communism is decent, tankies rarely are. Zealots in general are awful, in my opinion, but especially political zealots.

      Try going to any “scientific socialist” community and tell them you don’t believe what Trotsky said about the Kronstadt sailors.

      Watch criticism of party structures and leaders get flattened into base-anticommunism.

      I’ve read and listened to plenty of Marxists, enough for me to trust in their analysis, and not their ability to talk to people who don’t know how, or don’t want to learn how to walk on your eggshells.

      Dissent = ban happens either way. I’m already banned from Lemmygrad for "anticommunism ".
