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 mean go to the cat thread. My parent had a pretty horrific upbringing and wants me to exhibit the same grit and gumption. But I'm a terrible actor, without reefer or alcohol, they were decent enough to get by until they found a resolution they can tolerate.
I'm on the genzdong magazine. No matrix, xmpp (which is what bugs me, I'd like to chat with some of you). And I'm thinking about the phone hard, I'd love it. I'd probably like the laptop too, and it's not that I feel unworthy, but that there are just as many worthy who may get longer use. But since I wrote my last post, maybe there are open source accessibility options. Sometimes I get so used to dead ends, I forget how to even think anymore.
Some good news! I spoke with someone today and hope I have a job lead for regular, plannable hours.
I cross my fingers for you. Having a tough day myself today.
Thanks so much! If you're comfortable sharing, what's up?
These things I mention are just every day annoyances. I shouldn't grumble when there is so much good going on. I'm fed, under a roof, clothed, and have enough living neighbors who seem willing to speak well of me. Small villages are weird, you'll be an interloper for a quarter century, then suddenly everyone "always knew you're a real one." No seriously, an elderly neighbor up the street said that to me yesterday, I almost fainted!
I appreciate you listening to me banging on, but now it's your turn -- if you feel like it.
Thanks again, for putting up with my 🐂 💩
