Wasn’t r/antiwork supposed to be the least bad one of all these wannabe labour subs when the whole moderator fiasco happened? And now they’re straight-up calling Xiaohongshu a far-right source.
The fiasco was the hard-end-full-stop-crib-death of antiwork's nascent class-consciousness. If it was ever something (and it felt like it was) It hasn't been anything since.
That sort of thing is why I'm a Marxist-Leninist. I can't help but think it could've been avoided if the sub staff were practicing democratic centralism and beholden to decisions like "no, don't half-ass an interview with hostile corporate media."
In a way it was good for me. I may be grasping at ways to be positive about it, but it was critically informative for me to see the lengths the caps will go to defend their message and crush solidarity to the point where they'll crush even small-barely-even-a-thing's like /r/antiwork. The knowledge of the ubiquitity of their (cap's) influence, how much they have and how fara reach was terrifying, but somehow also comforting... seeing how how afraid they actually are that people will wake up even a little bit kinna gives me hope that it is easier than i think it is to wake them
(It was never anything)
They were always dogshit libs, from day 0, and anyone denying it is not remembering clearly or was also a lib back then.
You always got banned and called a tankie Stalinist if you posted any Marxist verbiage or analysis
Oh, I know. I’ve always avoided that place. That’s why I said "least bad".
I just think it’s funny we have users here making up narratives about a hostile takeover of the mods when it was the original mods who were banning “tankies” and doing the embarrassing interviews. The community was in revolt and the Mandate of Heaven was gone, of course the mods would get replaced with less embarrassing ones
The chapo sub getting banned truly was the best thing that could have happened to us. I really don’t want to go back to
and their constant drama anymore.
Until then but after the fox interview the original anarchist mods were couped and replaced by libs who came out of nowhere. There's a thorough breakdown about this somewhere but i am too lazy to dig it up unfortunately.
The original mods were banning people for being tankies. It was never good
Stuff like this makes it really, really hard for me not to break Hexbear's anti-sectarianism rule.
we had one person in here saying this was a "W" against "superpowers" lmao
they're not beating the allegations
Anarchists and getting purged by liberals. Name a more iconic duo.
