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.

That's great! I think we should have regular study threads on every Communist/ML communities on lemmygrad.
One thing about Lemmy is that instances are more like subreddits, and communities are more like hashtags. Having one or two study threads per week is about the max an instance can realistically field while maintaining active discussion.
The chapotraphouse community on hexbear.net is like a proper subreddit. But on a second thought, it is kinda solo carrying the server. We need to strengthen lemmygrad by making the user base in multiple communities bigger and more active.
CTH is more like a general-purpose comm on Hexbear, the podcast isn't really discussed much, plus the megathreads are where a lot of the activity is. Since instances are relatively small, a lot of people scroll by new or active, meaning comms can go months without a post yet gain a ton of traction. It's like a sorting bucket more than an active community. For Hexbear, as an example, c/slop is pretty popular, and c/games is a nice community, it all depends on what people want to post.
The way to strengthen Lemmygrad is to use it, posting and commenting. It already does what it needs to do, and since there isn't a profit-motive, growth isn't the goal.
