I got banned too. It was for posting in genzedong. Whenever I posted in /r/communism and /r/communism101 I practiced liberalism and only said things that would not offend their sensibilities but when Gonzalo died they went a bit insane.

I tried understanding why they upheld Gonzalo but there were never any clear answers to this question. There were a lot of [removed] comments and insinuations (sometimes claims) that whoever did not hold their line of thought was reactionary. I found one comment from an esteemed member which had links to Maoist blog posts defending Gonzalo but I wasn’t able to understand them. Either because of the English being too different or too difficult for me or the historical context, which as someone from Asia I knew very very little about, being taken for granted.

I understand that communist spaces are a bit prone to brigading but the subreddit seems completely dead especially if you look at the membership count. It is a bit nuts the main subreddit for communism, even if it is the main one just in name, has such a narrow and set-in-stone spectrum for the correct opinion despite most of the moderators belonging to the nexus of anti-communism at the heart of the imperial core. I am only assuming here that most of them are from the US, though I could be wrong so please don’t take this as a fact.
