I'm old enough to remember the click-click-click of my classmate walking down the hallway in her polio leg brace. I also got my measles, whooping cough, and chickenpox immunity by getting measles, whooping cough, and chickenpox. Anti-vaxers are wildly misinformed and child abusers. Politician who espouse anti-vax propaganda are criminals.

What the poster is saying isnt accurate either. People arent refusing to vaccinate their kids out of decadence. Theyre doing it because the powers that be have dismantled the education system. And run constant misinformation campaigns on everything.

Some men are so weak that they are threatened by equality and overall comfort in life that they decide that nobody should be able to have comfort. Their brains are rotting away as we speak from all the hateful content they consume.

My dad grew up poor with six siblings. There was never any money to do fun things like have a holiday or something. His holidays were a picnic at the park or maybe if he was lucky go camping at the next town over. He had to quit school at a young age to start working to provide for himself and his family. Had to give away part of his wage to his father. Nothing fun about that. Nothing romantic about that.

He worked his ass off for over 30 years now to make sure his kids don't have to live life like that. And you know what? He is happy that they can live life like they want to. Me with my quirkiness and whatever 'soft men shit' I'm dealing with. Because he knows what it's like to have nothing and not a single cell in his body worships that shit.

Bunch of LARP'ers pretending to be real men from the comfort of their couch. They would fold the second life gives them shit and not go their way like they are used to.

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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.
