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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 isn't just the new McCarthyism this is what Nazis did to the communists in Germany. Hope everyone understands what this means cause shit is gonna get real wild
Communist party members have been barred from immigrating to the US since 1952. It's the same McCarthyism it never went away.
Trump says a lot of things which he has no plans of doing. The “We will remove [Insert ‘bad and scary’ word] from our country” is a classic
I agree it's a lot of talk when in comes from Trump, but then on the other hand it does seem like we're not too many steps away from removing transgender people from the country. And as a trans person that freaks me the fuck out.
I don't blame you. I'm straight but I worry for the safety of my LGBTQ+ friends and family. The current and ongoing success of reactionary forces undoing decades of small victories is horrifying.
Trump just parrots shit he hears in the Right-wingosphere, this is something Senator Rick Scott just posted on Twitter about Communists and Socialists not being welcome in Florida, which is just a dog whistle for Liberals/Democrats and any actual left wingers, and Governor Ron DeSantis has also been saying similar stuff.
The governor of South Carolina was taped saying that he "can't wait until the Democratic party is small enough that they can be hunted with dogs", and by Democrats you have to understand that he means any sort of perceived left winger.

Not only that, but it's "Chinese communism" that later fascists will run with. It's the West's new "Judeo-Bolshevism."
If that's the case, every Asian-American should seriously start considering what their escape plan will be.
Or at the very least Asian-Americans should start arming themselves. Escaping America is not always an option.
They’re already targeting Jews as well
Somebody should ask him about the "MAGA Communism" 😂
Ban socialists from entering what? His tree fort?
Probably from entering politics.
Since 2016-17 he promoted a law stating that communists from another countries cannot enter the USA, risking being arrested/deported (and whatnot).
That's my main reason for not wanting to visit the US, despite everyone on my family wanting to go there on a trip to Disney.
I personally don't care that if I can't get into the USA, I've never wanted to visit. What am I gonna see? Roads? Walmarts?
There are so many countries with beautiful cities and historic landmarks to visit, I would rather go there.
I’m shocked he can even string together coherent thoughts.
“Bing bing bong, beep beep”
-Trump 2016
Who said that he can?
Oh pretty please, send some aggressive capitalist sycophant class traitors to attempt to handle me.
🥶 🍑
I wonder if he'll start with his mail order bride.
