I would have messaged the mods on the subreddit but it said that messages won’t get through for 72 hours so I made an account here (I have been lurking in the communist subreddits and on this site for a while but didn’t ever comment as I haven’t read enough theory yet)
The comment was deleted by the auto mod but you can see it on my profile https://www.reddit.com/user/ErohaTamaki
The comment was this:
"I am new to communism so I might be a bit wrong, someone correct me if I am wrong
Communism doesn’t mean that entertainment like surfing would disappear, it would actually be the complete opposite. Workers would have more free time as and that means that people would be able to explore hobbies like surfing that they haven’t had the time to explore. There would also be more people willing to do things like surfing as they won’t be scared of getting injured and then being unemployed and left to die"
The first message I got was:

The third message:

I would like the ban to be removed or at the very least have the ban explained, also does anyone have any recommendations of things to read? I am currently half-way through reading The State and Revolution (I haven’t read anything else)
Update: I got unbanned :)
I got autobanned from both communism and communism101 for posting an article from Tribune of the People. I think it was just because I was an MTC or CTH poster
That’s interesting. I sort of understand banning CTH posters, but I’m surprised you think MTC would flag a user as reactionary. I think I would only ban nazi or neoliberal posters, I’m saying this as somebody who has never been a mod on a large sub though.
It didn’t give a reason so I assumed that was it
