In light of user Wisconcom’s community Hoxhaism (created using an alternate account named Ouisconkom), and the anti-China/anti-Mao sectarianism that permeates the rhetoric of the community. It has come to our attention that some members of the community are unhappy with this sort of content being allowed.
In the past, we’ve removed other Ultra-leftists, such as Patriotic Socialists, for their sectarianism. And some of the admins feel this might be a time to do that again.
Lemmygrad’s success depends on transparency and communication between the user base and the admins, so we would like the Lemmygrad community to tell us how they feel about this possible issue.
So, because I don’t consider my self an expert on Hoxhaism, this comment will not be a criticism of the ideology.
But I feel like there’s a certain standard that everyone on here should consider regarding debate in the comments, and so far I’m not seeing that. Most criticism against the community seem to get countered by a comment on the level ‘no this is not true’ without any further explanation. If the people from the Hoxhaism community can come forward and have a meaningful debate in comments where their intentions and ideology get challenged, it’s fine in my opinion.
But if it stays on the level it currently is, what does it add? It’s not a meaningful addition if all criticism gets pushed aside by saying it’s not true, without ever going into details as to why it is not true. Other ideologies over here actually do these things.
I can’t say it’s in bad faith but it would be nice if it could spark some actual meaningful debate.
Screenshot of rule 3 in that community as at the time of this comment:
Pre-emptively shuts down any meaningful debate comparing Hoxhaism to any ideology that Hoxhaism considers to be social-imperialist or revisionist… which is a lot of them.
Their claims of being open to discussion completely lack substance.
Hmm… Perhaps that rule could be changed.
IMO, you should change all of the rules that mention “revisionism”, as they’re all a little too sectarian. My suggestion for you would be to find other people who follow Hoxhaist ideology and add them to your moderation team, so these kinds of issues can be resolved collaboratively, rather than it clearly being your personal biases putting your community in a tight spot.
I am presently waiting for other Hoxhaists to join my community who are active enough for community moderation.
A pleasant invitation to casual conversation in the free market place of people’s court of ideas
The Hoxhaist community is willing to converse with non-Hoxhaists with matters concerning our ideas, however, I did not think that the purpose of this post on the People’s Court was for debate on theory.
No but that doesn’t mean the debate can be at least meaningful, which in my opinion, it’s not with regards to comments in this thread.
That being said, if the Hoxhaist community welcomes more debate and is willing to, if necessary, concede in said debates, that’s fine by me. We’re all here to learn I hope, ML’s included.
Of course.
