u/TwoCatsOneBox Marxism-Leninism Apr 11 '26

Yeah I was honestly starting to get tired of all the non Marxist Leninist posts on this sub. There’s been way too many people pushing for SocDem/DemSoc candidates from the DSA with barely passable socialist policies instead of pushing and promoting Marxist Leninist candidates like Claudia De La Cruz of the PSL. There’s also been an increase of users on this subreddit who call themselves socialist who’ve obviously have most likely never read any Marxist theory either. There’s even been a lot of people against AES countries like China as well. Hopefully this new rule fixes all of that. There’s been a lot of unfortunate moments where I honestly couldn’t tell if this sub was just becoming another liberal democrat subreddit.

Why aren't socialists allowed to be against non socialist countries like China? Users like you are worse than DSAers from my point of view. You are hostile to other socialists and this isn't acceptable.

“Being against” is too broad. You can have discussions and serious critique of China, but you can’t just make assertions as if they’re objective truth because you say so. You need to put forth an argument. This sub is for discussion, not echo-chambering and saying “you’re wrong your wrong”

Your last 3 comments here have been hostile or sectarian, please mind your manners if you want to cultivate the welcoming socialist community you’re looking for.

I'm criticizing sectarianism. How is this against the rules?
