Our community is growing larger and larger. Two weeks ago, we had finally passed the 1,000 users mark after years, and right now we are already at almost 2,000 users. Possible causes for this are the very recent US government censorship of Reddit. In the course of 3 weeks, Reddit banned the left-leaning r/chapotraphouse, r/MoreTankieChapo, and left the subsequent ideological refugees in r/MoreMoreTankieChapo also homeless.

Good news, we exist, and our community welcomes all revolutionaries, especially marxist-leninists. In this website, we uphold the past and current* socialist experences. We love hate speech, we are only against bourgeois ideology and reactionary language**.

We have been entering Reddit, albeit slowly, but we’re still trying to make our way to be known before the r/communism and r/communism101 are banned and loses all its subscribers and consequently awareness of our space. We shouldn’t worry about it, though, we can make an organized effort to bring comrades here later, also.

The thing is, we need a name, comrades. Most of the time I’ve seen the comrades share our community around was either saying “the communist Lemmy instance”, the “Communist Lemmy”, “communism.lemmy”, or something along those lines. These are not easy to remember.

Comrade @muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml suggested that we could do a public poll to decide a name, to be approved by both users and administrators.

Let’s keep in mind the most voted one shouldn’t necessarily be the chosen one, but would certainly influence admin decision. The reason for this is that while the majority may vote for simple and catchy names (which is good), it may actually be also useful to check for distinctive names that could make our community appear on top on search engines, for example.

What are you waiting for? Get going, comrade. We will need a name to begin our propaganda effort.

*Current socialist experiences include China, Cuba, Vietnam and People’s Korea.
**Reactionary language means any discrimination against historically oppressed peoples, like women, trans folk, non-white folk, etc. Racism, sexism, ableism, xenophobia, and LGBT discrimination should not be allowed, not even ironically.

      I am an anarcho-communist. Just because I disagree with your views does not make me anti-communist.

      This isn’t “my view”. If you wish to be a communist, it’s expected that you read the developers of communist theory and the scientific methodology of historical/dialectical materialism. If you do not subscribe to those contributions to the proletarian communist science, what is the point to call yourself a communist? You also gave no evidence in favour of the claims you made, you’re just spewing common CIA propaganda talking points.

      I stated my beliefs, even giving the courtesy of a bias warning. I am not invalidating the opinion of others, simply stating my own.

      History is not a matter of beliefs, it’s a matter of facts. It’s not your opinion, you’re just wrong, because you can’t even prove what you said. “Lenin became power-hungry and corrupted”. I mean, how can you tell? How can you prove Lenin’s “secret intentions” if you have no record of such a thing? Well, there’s something you can do. Read. Study the policies of USSR. Compare Lenin’s writings about the events and their results, study the Congresses of the CPSU, understand their historical conditions, etc… This methodology is basic Marxism. I can easily tell you haven’t learned enough with your overt idealism.

      This is my own account. If I am receiving upvotes and you are receiving downvotes then other users share my views.

      Yeah, right, 30 seconds after you comment, you have 7 upvotes. Fuck off, you’re either doing that yourself (which would be very sad) or you’re with your friends “trolling” people on the internet. Grow up.

      Saying someone isn’t a communist just because they don’t 100% agree with your views is infantile. Abusing your power by removing a comment just because you personally don’t agree with it is infantile.

      No, you’re not a communist, because you’re a lazy anarchist who doesn’t read anything and still think you know better than people. “Abusing my power”? I’m deleting your shit because we don’t have a marxist-leninist space to still spend our time disproving CIA propaganda like we do in the liberal surface of the internet. Most of the mods here are very pedagogical people and they’re very calm and patient with you liberals. I’m not, I’m sorry, I’m not your teacher.

      I acknowledge and support opinions that differ from my own. It saddens me to see you behave this way.

      You can have your opinions, I removed your comment because I don’t tolerate liberalism and falsehoods. As Marxists, we should make sure truth thrives over all bourgeois lies, some of which you’re already familiar with.

      This is the last reply I’m giving you. If you reply to this comment again, I’m banning you. Any mod can easily unban you and restore your comments, but that will be up to them. You have been warned.

          If you ban me for defending myself the modlog will show in perpetuity your abuses.

          I’m not banning you, I’m banning liberal influence in this communist instance. You just happen to be a part of it, whether you’re conscious of it or not. I hope you break free from your ego and admit your ignorance, which is clear to anyone who has actually studied Marxism.

          Again, this action can be undone, but it’s up to the other mods. You should have been banned in the first comment, in my opinion. Please, instead of a Marxist-Leninist space, go to Reddit. They welcome liberals there.
