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.

Sounds idealistic from the jump. I'm sure I don't have to break down all of the climate fuckery happening to our planet in the year of our Miku 2023.
I think deathly times may lay ahead for many of us, and the West (particularly USA) will rot while the world prospers. But as for the fate of humankind and the planet as a whole, I have faith in our burgeoning scientific advancements, especially as the majority of the world frees themselves from resource drains like war and poverty. Already I have heard of many technologies and strategies meant to slow, stop, or reverse climate change that sounded promising, and they will only get better and better as something like superintelligent A.I. and a truly cooperative humanity are put to use.
That being said, things will get worse before they get better, and I'm sure for many people across the world, it will seem like apocalypse. Many of us may die terribly and avoidably, thinking civilization was collapsing alongside us.
To have any chance, we need to get rid of capitalism as a rule and stop the hate machine that flourishes on any social network
I thought the same thing at first, but her thesis is actually that shit is royally fucked and deteriorating rapidly, just that things won't be over for everyone all at once. The world as we know it is ending, but there are decades of struggle ahead of us.
Makes more sense in that context
