Apparently I got perma banned from asking a question about anti capitalist business. Cowards I say.

Reddit is a CIA run shitshow.

It truly is, I got my ban there in like the first 6 months I was a communist. Then I moved on to better communities.

Aw man, I guess my tankie credentials are revoked :(

r/shitliberalsay is a good socialist subreddit I frequent there, I recommend it more than any other socialist subreddits.
Does “informed tankie” sub count?

I’ve seen the term ultras on here, but I am rather new to this community. Would someone mind giving me a definition of what an ultra is in this context? Thanks!
An ultra is a communist who is obsessed with strict adherence to previous communist theory rather than considering what is the sensible thing to do in a given real-world economic circumstance. You may also know them as a “book worshipper” or “that one guy who legally isn’t allowed within 200 metres of a DnD party”
ah so like the bible thumpers of marxism?

Oh no I appreciate the details, and yeah that is kinda dumb. Isn’t one of the tentants of communism that (I just woke up and smoked a bowl so sorry if I’m mis remembering WHO said it exactly) I’m pretty sure Lenin himself talked on was that the communist movement, revolution, and following state will look different in every region as geography, culture, and the current and future evolving political climate all create different conditions that we would have to find new and working solutions too. I’m an advocate of “Yeah shit’s gunna get messy sometimes, so it’s best to accept that, but to try and experiment with different policies in different parts of the region to see what works best both for the people, and for staying stable and sustainable, and we should strive to TRY different things as communists so we can find the things, whether structure of labor or production to ecological protections, what WORKS best for everyone.” It seems wild to me that some people think we can just rely completely on theory. Yes its VERY important, but so is real world and practical experience, shit happens that no one expects and you gotta find solutions. That’s just life.
If you’re familiar with the MAGA (Make America Great Movement) movement in the USA, its kinda like that but with past Socialist/Communist countries as their base.
I suspect they’re run by feds
I got perma banned for telling someone who asked what they could do today, that they could organize unions or coops, as that is at least something you can do besides just read theory (they were already doing that).
You should obviously have told them to go live in the forest and terrorise the local populace

I got perma-banned today because someone asked what it would take to organize a communist revolution in the imperial core and I responded, “a lot of work and a good bit of luck.”
What the fuck answer were they expecting???
r/communism and r/communism101 are run by an ultra maoist western mod lol
only praxis western maoists are able to achieve
I am not a fan of the communist communities on Reddit. I got banned from one because I used Wikipedia to source dates and was told it’s too much of a liberal platform to cite.
The dogmatism is strong in this one.
I once posted a slightly lib article on how an idiot ancap CEO of Sears ran the company to the ground with dumb libertarian ideas and also some Chomsky’s critique of US imperialism. Got perma banned the next day…
I mean, I thought we should be intelligent enough to read lib sources if they offer some kind of valuable insight and just filter out useless lib opinions, bad takes ourselves…I guess I was wrong lol.

Not who you asked, but Step Back History has a good video on it on YouTube.

For anyone out of your instance
See, I kind of forgot about that. Been a somewhat busy couple of days. But yeah, it’s heartbreaking that they jump to that conclusion after one reasonable question.
The 101 communities should be a place where people can ask legit questions.
Communism101 when Communism102 walks in:
Maoists are cancer.
Regular maoists are fine. The maoists on the subreddits are ultras and cultists.
Maoists who dont shit on deng I can rock with, Maoists who think china is a neo-liberal country and ignore Chinas current prosperity I disavow.
Yes comrade, I agree with this.
got autobanned back when “Transcribers of Reddit” was running, got autobanned for transcribing a post in /r/engrish
who isn’t banned from communism101 the moment they step into that sub?
Reactionaries understand China better than ultras—pathetic!
