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.

From what I can tell it's the same trick the state used on Redneck Revolt - a bunch of insiders accuse the leadership of sexual-based offenses, nothing is proven but it stokes enough controversy that the party implodes, and these "whistleblowers" lead a walk out to start a new party that never goes anywhere and really just exists to be a thorn in the side of the original party.
A few years back the state tried this tactic on them when they had "other comrades" accuse Comrade Helali of sexual-based offenses. Comrade FinBol has also received such accusations. Seeing a pattern here?
I don't believe these accusations personally. The state has used that play far too many times in recent years. I would also not associate with this council of Bolsheviks either. As usual, this is my opinion, one should do their own research.
Idk anything about whoever Helali is but that FinBol stuff was legit and the screenshots were pretty bad.
Christopher Helali, he's a high-ranking member of PCUSA. When they attempted to bring politics to the masses they ran him for congress in 2020 I believe and the mainstream media tried this tactic on him. Suddenly anarchistic adventurists and imperialist soldiers who worked with him in the past (he "served" in the US in northern Syria) came out of the woodwork to call him everything from an asshole to a rapist when he wanted to platform Marxist politics in the US.
I wasn't aware FinBol's had screenshots. Do you happen to have any links? FinBol's case doesn't match the same pattern as the other 2 as there were no group of "insiders" with him, I simply threw him in there because he too is a leftist who was accused of sexual-based crimes and as from what I understood he was innocent.
