Any Leftist that’s done any real organizing has likely worked with Anarchists. Those guys hate all states, and aren’t afraid to tell your classic Marxists about how some of those very left states did them realllllly bad. I don’t think any leftist whos operating in good faith has a problem with real critisizm. I think they have problems with state department propaganda lines that they have to hear and refute like every time they try to talk about any kind of Leftism.
Especially since those lines are the some of the most detracting arguements there are (probably on purpose) so most times it does nothing but obfuscate the original point and move the topic of discussion away from that point.
I’m confused. You asked if you would be fine to criticize the left here without getting banned and I replied to that comment answering, and now you’re telling me that wasn’t the subject? Why do you assume I was only talking about the users?
Because the admins and several major mods have a history of censoring disagreement. Especially when it’s criticism of “those very left states.” Often just for saying those states are left… or aren’t.
So I should be perfectly safe to mention any awful shit that allegedly leftist states did… right?
No possibility this comment gets removed for saying leftist states can also fuck up, or implying any of them are only allegedly leftist.

‘They’d be bad if they did this.’
‘They do.’
‘Asshole.’
“I get banned for no reason”
Lol yea I can see that
I am literally agreeing with something this user said and quoting the insult they lobbed at me.
“i feel like you’re being combative, you’re not engaging with what I’m saying. Makes me think you’re just here to be an asshole”
[Doesn’t engage the content, lobs insults, ‘he did it first’]
“I can see why you might have been banned”
“What do you mean I’m being totally reasonable?!”
There’s something about this format that just feels good, ya know? Like I’m invisible to criticism. I wonder why more people don’t use it
Didn’t.

‘This site’s mods and admins censor dry criticism.’
‘We the users handle criticism just fine.’
That was not the subject.

Yes, self-criticism is A-Okay and is encouraged.
Look upon our Self-crits, ye Mighty, and despair 😆
