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.

My reply is that yes, it was a top-down mistake, government policy was a major factor compounding the famine (the CPC even admits it) and nothing like that has happened in the many decades since, demonstrating the ability of the government and the broader movement to learn from mistakes and avoid repeating them. As some other replies pointed out, their history of regular famines has stopped entirely since the Three Year Great Famine, so they have clearly learned, improved and overcome a major hunger issue in a country with huge food demands.
What about certain square? Will the government ever admit it?
Nisour square? I think the U$ is glad it happened.
Tiananmen Square.
Thanks for clarifying.
Can you share your source that China does not discuss the events surrounding the square?
I'd love to see your source on what happened there as well.
Funny how reddit libs will just downvote this comment asking for sources but not dare engage with it.
It's an intellectually honest question. Can anyone actually provide a source that China does not discuss the events surrounding the square? Or do they just assume it's true and have never actually looked to confirm that claim themselves?
Since they're banned we can't see the comments from inside the 'grad (and they can't see yours since you're apparently banned from .world). He edited in an encyclopedia article, with no sources:
Funny how they come out in droves to downvote in general. Always good for a laugh. They sometimes downvote the most neutral comments as well. Makes me wonder if they have a mccarthyite list of "known communists" or something and are instructed to downvote on sight.
BWA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
You're right, it's pretty funny to see you get banned
Fuck off, cracker
* You got banned so I can't respond to your comment asking for a source. It's pretty funny, though. My source is that you typed "bwahaha"
@brimnac, since you're banned from the 'grad (good), I can't interact with you. I can see your responses if I dip into lemmy.world.
An encyclopedia article is not a primary source.
An encyclopedia article without any actual links to sources or references may as well be a work of fiction.
That's not a fucking source and you're still a cracker.
