    Most Communist subreddits are bad, the only good ones are r/sendinthetanks and r/thedeprogram.

            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.

        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.

        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.

        Mostly, there’s good stuff here and there but they have bad takes on stuff like the SMO.

            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.

                  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…

                    That’s not at all what’s happening. I feel like you are trolling me right now
