"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

For some fucking reason, the head mod of the subreddit added an ACP dumbfuck to the mod team who in turn added another. The subreddit has been completely compromised. Proof is in the image and linked here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TankieTheDeprogram/s/ckVpg6FKGT

Just thought y'all should know too in case you ever went to check it. Thank fuck this place is safe.

You might want to explain to someone out of the loop what exactly is going on here.

Otherwise you do really make it seem like a kneejerk reaction to some petty squabbles. Why are people so quick to resort to moralizing and just assume others will believe them?

And don't try to paint me as an ACP apologist. I'm not saying Lenin would have sided with them, what I'm saying is that kind Vladimir Ilyich would have disqualified everyone in this room, including me obviously. If this is serious don't make multiple posts, make one mega thread and put all the relevant arguments there so people can sift through them easier and come to their own conclusions based on facts.

You're right, sorry if the post was a bit vague. Here's some more information: The largest surviving subreddit for TheDeprogram podcast, r/TankieTheDeprogram has been taken over by the ACP (LaRouchite nazbols). The head mod u/Alexitine, who appears to be affiliated with the ACP in some capacity has added a member of the ACP to the mod team (u/FamousPlan101). They are currently deleting all posts critical of the ACP and banning users for criticizing them (sort by new there and see for yourself). They are also posting pro-ACP content to the subreddit.

I've included more information below for anyone curious about why exactly the ACP is reactionary.

Here's a comment where one of the new ACP mod's is agreeing with a post stating that trans liberation is "degeneracy".

Here's a tweet from one of the leaders of the ACP

Thanks I appreciate it, like sincerely.

And I see why I don't know about them. I've never heard this haz guy mentioned by a single organization, probably because I never interact with nazbols outside of trying to get rid of their influence. So good job on getting rid of them. I feel bad for anyone who ends up getting trapped in the fart chamber with such people.

So there is nothing he can do about it? I'm kinda confused by his wording.

[–] communix@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think so. Since the head mod seems to be affiliated with the ACP and added these people, and since no one can remove the head mod, doesn't seem like anything can be done.

Damn, I will remain hopeful, but it seems like we fell into another three letter agency's trap. Shit sucks.
