Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

He asked me at some point "Don't you want to read news that challenges your world view?"

The funny thing is, we actually post more articles from mainstream media sources here, both liberal and conservative, than we do communist ones.

We have a clear ideological orientation, but the news sources we draw from are incredibly varied. You see articles from American mainstream media, British, German, French MSM, Russian media, Chinese media, and that's on top of whatever "alternative" media we also look at.

I don't think we reject any source as long as there is something of value to be gained from reading it, even if it's just to see how our ideological enemies think.

Right that's very true! The Economist, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, all mixed in amongst the other sources. Even still, many of the 'alternative' sources are synthesizing those sources to paint a broader picture not being discussed by the individual publications. Geopolitical Economic Report is a prime example here. You almost have to in order to see the parts being left out.
