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.

If you researched enough, you would know that the organization responsible for that attack is the MPCP not the PCP, as mentioned in your own shared article.
🤓
The MPCP is a group that splintered from the PCP taking most of its members with itself, and the only reason it exists as such is because they saw the PCP agreeing on a ceasefire with the Peruvian state after Gonzalo's capture as an act of treason from his part. On everything but in name, they are the PCP. Nonetheless, that still doesn't take away the fact that the PCP prior to its split had consistently committed massacres against LGBT peoples through most of its history.
Also, why are you reviving a dead thread?
It is evident that your only knowledge about the group is surface level Wikipedia reading because this is just a blatant lie you took word by word from Wikipedia. The MPCP consists of ex-PAF and that is also written in there if you bothered to read it carefully.
The ceasefire was a fabrication by the Peruvian Fascist State. Guzman proved it in his call to arms while being displayed inside a cage to the media.
This shows that you do not know anything about the PCP General Political Line or even its history. This is evident by you comparing a proletarian vanguard which waged a People's War and almost brought the Peruvian State to its knees to a Government Propped up Drug Trafficking Organization. I find it baffling as to what equation you are trying to draw here by just saying the opposite in the previous part. "They splintered off because they had a major disagreement, but they are the same party now because yeah." Is this not a false analogy and strawman of Maoists? No Maoist upholds the MPCP.
There is no evidence for this. While in fact, the PCP clearly said that they never targetted LGBTQ individuals/groups just because of their identity as such.
This shows your disinterest and unseriousness in Proletarian Politics and in developing an anti-revisionist knowledge of history. You are treating this as something like a game. Yes, it has been an inactive thread for 3 weeks but you are posting misinformation that will permanently be here. Sorry, but my conscience cannot let you do that.
Yea.
The fate of the proletariat's liberation rests on the outcome of a thread on a reddit copycat.
Have a nice day you too, dear random maoist.
