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.

MODERATORS
Depends really, my family relative in China don't really complain about a lot to the degree about toppling the government. A lot of stuff we perceive as unthinkable in the west (a functioning public transport, low cost of living, etc) are taking for granted.
They do have complains about the bureaucratic aspect of the government and also the healthcare system (especially important for my parent's and grand parent's gen as they get older).
There is also a lot of generational gap that influences opinions. My grand parent's generation are very mixed towards the party (from uncritical support to very negative) (my mother side were bandits prior 1949 and my dad's side are landlords). My parent's generation are more positive as they were the one benefitting the most of the reform and opening up. My generation is apathic as competition is very fierce to the point that some people don't see career advancement as something that is doable (less interested into the governance aspect of the country)
There is also a lot of gap in opinions depending of where you are from (ei. Urban vs countryside). Since my family moved to cities throughout the generations due to the five years plans I can't really comment on the countryside aspect of stuff
