      Seriously, why all the hate on Stalin?

      We already lost “a lot of support” anyways for being communists… what good would denying the good he did for the USSR and the world be?

          Horrible shit like checks notes defeating the nazis, radidly industrializing what was once an incredibly poor region in only 2 decades, and ending the famines that had been wracking the region for centuries. What a monster.

          My very first real post here was this. I made the argument that even if all the insane crap that Stalin is accused of doing were true, it pales in comparison to what the US actually did. Why is it okay to ignore all that murder and villainy, and instead focus on Stalin, who was actually trying to make things better for the working people, instead of enriching the rich?

                  Anything of quality would be nice, and just like a school teacher: no, Wikipedia is not a good source.

                  And if you won’t care at all about quality, why should we?

      Yet nobody’s been flocking over to the left communists, anarchists, or Trotskyists last time I checked. Funny that.

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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.
