  • This potentially could be a bad opinion for this place, I’m not sure. I’ve talked online with Russian communists in Russia and they were risking arrest to organise against conscription in their own country. My feeling (God I could be wrong) is that this a correct and noble thing for them to be doing as Russians in Russia.

    All the anti Putin arguments made in the West just can the flames of imperialist war here. It seems like we’re rehashing all the mistakes of the socdems during WW1 by rallying around our national bourgeoisie instead of calling for revolutionary defeatism.






  • I empathise. I’ve spend many hours stressing and feeling depressed with how unfair reddit and wikipedia are. I can’t stress enough, though, that we are living in a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Your boss and your landlord hold the power of death over you, and the political/ideological systems are controlled by that class. Sometimes we can pretend for a bit that we have some power, but as the contradictions in Western capitalism become bigger, we’ll be given less of a voice to criticise them, including social media.

    to self-censor everything and live in an imaginary dream world where every thought is percieved as the most perfect, morally superior, and everything that slightly deviates from that is wrong and needs to be removed.

    I really do empathise. It’s shit. I’m guessing that I’m much much older than you. I want to say that you’ll see this trend almost everywhere, at work, in media, with family, at social settings, etc. It’s absolute dogshit and I’m sorry.


  • I’ve felt this before I left reddit-logo over a year ago. A lot of my stuff was removed just for being not reactionary, not even just tankie shit.

    I’m not sure if you remember, but when the chapo sub got banned, those of us with a history of posting there had our upvotes and downvotes removed. Like we’d upvote something, log-off, and the upvotes disappeared.

    IMO, a lot is in play here. Reddit tends to ban overly hostile mods, and people with lots of free time (i.e. people with material resources) are gonna be mods. But there’s no reason that a huge social media company isn’t going to try to crack down on subversive thought. Anti left behaviour is as old as capitalism itself.

    Zionists aren’t going to tolerate even the most civil conversation with the other side. You’re not wrong to be upset, but I’m not at all surprised.
