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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Just ignore them and carry on not voting for fascists.
Evil is Evil. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degree is arbitary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one evil and another… I’d rather not choose at all.
- Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish (The Witcher, #0.5)
The lesser evil libs are already the "better" ones as there are also those who actually like brandon and isntreal
It's always funny when they try to play idpol and say you're hurting marginalized people by not voting and it's your fault if a right-winger takes away their rights. Most people I've known in the US who don't vote were marginalized people who know it's all bullshit and don't bother with voting. The ones more in the know will vote in local elections and sometimes state elections but hardly ever the presidential elections.
On the other hand, people browbeating others for not voting tend to be white or privileged
"Huh, so you want me to vote for the Joe Biden, who continues to give states federal dollars, even when they use them to send the police after drag shows and doctors who proscribe hormones?
Yeah no fuck off."
tell them you're voting for trump next time
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Four years from now they'll be scolding us for refusing to choose between the guy doing five genocides and the guy they insist would be doing eight.
