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.

This image is only a joke. It is an inside joke among communists.
Sure I get it but jokes mean stuff and can shape some ways of thinking specially to newer members people still learning, so I like to be on the cautionary side and leave my two cents here.
I love lemmygrad because we have the stupid memes seasoned with straight unfun reasoning.
Just to acknowledge the fun, not removing it, but also highlighting the possible issues.
My point precisely, I didn't dislike the intent of the picture, it is fun but I like to temper it with reasonable criticism, all about contradictions
It doesnt even have to be a joke and we can lean into it completely seriously without having to justify ourselves. I disagree with the premsises comrade bear puts forward. Pasolini managed to straddle this line perfectly well as a communist.
Jesus was a revolutionary, remember; he freed his people from slavery. He didnt implement communism afterwards, of course; but we can see him for the progressive he actually was removed from the mythos of him. Thats Pasolini's point, and I think its a good one to internalize as it allows us to communicate on better ground with less radical religous people.
