CIA Moment.
It always supported anarchist viewpoints more than communist ones.
How is that anarchist? This is ignoring a nazi regime (very authoritative, nothing just about it’s heigharichal structure, and they’re racist af against Russians) to promote a nazi agenda. This has state spook or radlib all over it imo.
…I’ll admit, I wrote that comment when the screenshot’s origin were still unknown and people (well, Comrade lil_tank anyway) were guessing it was from DankLeft.
So uh, whoops. ^^’ My comment still applies regarding r/DankLeft though! As it’s mostly pro-anarchism at this point.
I can’t stand the anarchists that back the state narratives and imperialism…
Just plain old anti-communists, no matter what the rebrand themselves as.
Yeah sorry, I was away from internet all day after posting. Should have included it in the title. This was Late Stage Capitalism.
Anarchists are radlibs.
traditionally yes but the modern western ones are more like mini Marxists that identify as anarchists. If you talk to them (some of them) they seem more like leftists learning than traditional Bakuninites
Yeah, LSC has been a crap shoot for years now. https://www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/comments/ztomis/comment/j1fpuzg/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
The mods nuked everything in that thread…
Basically all of Reddit has gone to shit at this point, even SLS on there is modded by trots
Facts
Most Communist subreddits are bad, the only good ones are r/sendinthetanks and r/thedeprogram.
Dont forget r/sino, theres still some good ones left.

Quarantined ≠ banned
The quarantine happened exactly at the moment GenZedong finished the titanic struggle session about war in Ukraine with the correct conclusion unlike nearly every other supposedly communist sub.
Not sus at all, especially that no sub that posted proukrainian or centrist stance was quarantined.
I don’t remember the timeline. I thought the quarantine was someone going on r/againsthatesubreddits which is a subreddits that tries to get other subreddits banned.
Nah, some subs were yapping about GenZedong for ages, but the quarantine striked only when GZ refused to adopt westolefto stance about the war, which was also coupled with rapid subscribents growth. Mostly the former i think, maoist and succdems subs, even bigger ones, aren’t quarantined.

From what I’ve heard only one one subr*ddit has been un-quarantined

A non-political one
Sino is confusing as shit. A lot of the comments seem to be from white sinophiles and other comments seem to be pretty damn nationalist
Unfortunately the deprogram has mods that are too welcoming to anarchist trolls and allow them to degrade the sub.

Who’s the Raddle guy?
ziq
what’s even going on with hexbear?
It’s a site made by a few /r/ChapoTrapHouse mods (not all of them) after it got burned down by reddit. It’s somewhat lib just like the old subreddit was, maybe a touch less libbier now that they’ve only got themselves to be held accountable by.
💯
Wait does that include r/CommunismMemes too?
r/communismMemes and r/Shitliberalssay have NATO supporting fascists on their mod team. The head mod of the meme sub told me “US hegemony is better than multipolarity” and bans anyone mentioning Ukrainian Nazis.
how does SLS have mods that support NATO?
Most of reddit is run by neocons and warmongers.

Mostly, there’s good stuff here and there but they have bad takes on stuff like the SMO.
And they also think “both sides bad” in regards to the Ukkkraine conflict
“Two things can be bad at once” - Always said regarding a topic where this absolutely is not the case.
I actually think this way, but at the same time, I also believe that Ukkkraina is much, much worse than Russia due to its rampant Nazism and White Supremacism1.
I would’ve been a Russia stan at this point if they just - at the very least - left LGBT+ people alone and tackled the high domestic abuse cases.
1 - (que the time Ukrainian citizens were pushing Global Southerners from trains or even beating them up when everyone were fleeing from the war… And here I thought people were supposed to be more empathetic during the time of war… Oh well, I guess fascists will always be fascists)
It is the one thing that is so weird with Russia. Those weird moments of folding anti lgbt stuff into the superstructure conversation with the SMO just seemed like a vestigial waste of time.
Ive said it before. It’s probably better for a country to fold in their minority populations into a shared national project and give them common investment in it then to alienate them and give them reason to assist the enemy or consider subterfuge.
At the very least, it seems extremely weird that treating certain people as second class citizens in your country as part of one’s definition of victory or making the lgbt stuff even part of the conversation of war.
Unrelated but I like your profile picture
Thank you! An artist called Paxiti made it, apparently it’s supposed to be a character of hers (called Eleonore).
I found it while browsing through Safebooru and ended up liking it a lot, enough to use it as my pfp. Besides, you just don’t see many people using pride flags as their hair color, hehe.
The SMO?
Special military operation. The official term of the Russian government for the Ukraine war
…huh???
Why don’t just say the Russian Government instead? Makes it less confusing.
What? No, I mean that is the term used by the government
I didn’t mean that to you, I meant it to the people that used the term, SMO to mean the Russian Government.
But now I see that the Russian Government is calling themselves SMO in the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict…
Being curious about what the liberal doxa was about their claim that the USSR just invaded Ukraine, I checked wikipedia
An attempt to create an independent state, the left-leaning Ukrainian People’s Republic (UNR), was first announced by Mykhailo Hrushevsky, but the period was plagued by an extremely unstable political and military environment. It was first deposed in a coup d’état led by Pavlo Skoropadskyi, which yielded the Ukrainian State under the German protectorate, and the attempt to restore the UNR under the Directorate ultimately failed as the Ukrainian army was regularly overrun by other forces. The short-lived West Ukrainian People’s Republic and Hutsul Republic also failed to join the rest of Ukraine.[82]
The result of the conflict was a partial victory for the Second Polish Republic, which annexed the Western Ukrainian provinces, as well as a larger-scale victory for the pro-Soviet forces, which succeeded in dislodging the remaining factions and eventually established the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (Soviet Ukraine).
Sooooo, sympathy with the nazi coup I guess… I mean, it looks like the slavaukrani libs are deep in that direction
I also found this gem :
Meanwhile, the recently constituted Soviet Ukraine became one of the founding republics of the Soviet Union. During the 1920s,[90] under the Ukrainisation policy pursued by the national Communist leadership of Mykola Skrypnyk, Soviet leadership at first encouraged a national renaissance in Ukrainian culture and language. Ukrainisation was part of the Soviet-wide policy of Korenisation (literally indigenisation), which was intended to promote the advancement of native peoples, their language and culture into the governance of their respective republics
Literally genocide I guess
So yeah if they don’t bother reading the fucking Wikipedia articles before speaking I call that proof that unity between Marxists must not be mixed with unity with radlibs
to be fair, nobody should be reading Wikifedia for factual information
Yeah but when they are being more anti-communist than the wikifeds you know it’s just lost
true
Literal baby brain, smooth and empty
Some brains are just white boards with squiggly marks drawn on it.
Smooth and easy to wash.
It’s ok though, keep fiddling as it burns anglos. Keep fiddling.
what sub is this
I’m betting Dank Left
LateStageCapitalism maybe
Late stage capitalism
That looks like lemmy, not r*ddit
I’m using a third party app called Relay. The main reason is that it eliminates reddit ads masquerading as comments and posts, and it has a lot of RES functionalities. It also lets me download and share pictures/videos/gifs straight up without reddit mandatory linking the whole post.
I know there’s a multicolor reply bar setting in RES; but that does certainly look like lemmy crackery
What’s RES?
Reddit Enhancement Suite; I use it to flag insufferable redditors in case I run into them on other subs so I know to disregard their opinions.
I think at one point I had half of the whole site’s userbase under my “Dickhead” tag
This is an app called Relay. It eliminates reddit ads and looks much nicer than the Reddit app. It also has a lot of RES functionalities, like proper filtering.
