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.

I am convinced communism would have won already if that damn word was easier to spell. Everyone can spell doodoo heads, we should just call the people that control capital doodoo heads
Marx betrayed the revolution by using ugh french.
AHHHHHHH! The Frenchhhhhhhhampagneeee
Has always been celebrated
FOR ITS EXCELLENCE!
Are we allowed to shitpost here or is that discouraged
you can make shitposts but only if they involve Orson Welles
Ditch barbarous French "bourgoieisie", embrace the superior Spanish/Portuguese "burguesía." They get the wall independent of language though.
To remember it better you need to understand basic fr*nch writing, in french to make the sound "oo" like in "food" you write "ou" and whenever you want to make a "ge" as in "George" sound before the voyels "a-o-u" you put an "e" between them because otherwise it becomes a "g" as in gay... Instead of just using j for some reason... Another thing is that in french the letters "oi" together make a "wa" sound, last thing is that almost everytime the last few consonant of the word is not pronounced, so bourgeois sounds like boorjwa, the "ie" thing idk about it and idc about it, it's probably like a "bourgeoism" if it was english.
I feel attacked.
just use "bougie" lol
Fidel nationalized his family's farms
The only bourgeoisie we truly trust are those proletarian-allied class traitors,
who've given up their privileges to mass capital accumulation and ownership, along with profit,
to not only give their knowledge but full devotion to the socialist cause.
That includes Engels, of course...
I like Wilde. Can't speak for all Marxists, of course.
I think Robert Owen was pretty cool for his times.
what about my boy lenin?
