This is likely because it’s using the .ml TLD, because it’s a free domain name and therefore spam filters see it as suspicious. I don’t think Lemmygrad is big enough for the staff at Reddit to even know about.

Are you friends with any liberals or other non-leftists in real life?

I’m not sure if this question makes sense, but as someone fairly new to leftism, it seems a lot of time that far leftists and especially communists often don’t like non-leftists in any way and don’t want to interact with them, but that’s just what I’ve seen on the internet and I have no idea how it …

@AgreeableLandscapetoCommunism•What are your thoughts on the Amish?
3•1M

Just curious, do you consider the Amish a cult? I’ve heard a lot of arguments that they are because of their extreme religious views and how they disown anyone who leaves their commune.

What capitalist countries currently have strong communist or socialist movements?

What country whose government would not be considered socialist or communist, but many of its citizens have strong support for socialism or communism?..

Are the leaders of a worker-cooperative corporation considered union leaders?

What are your thoughts on the Amish?

The Amish live in communes where as far as I know they practice what could be considered a form of communism. They also live in ways that are self sufficient and sustainable. However, they have been criticized for their conservative religious views (which come with unpleasant things such as homophob…

Do you see the elected leaders of a worker co-op in a capitalist country also as workers, or are they still bourgeoisie?

@AgreeableLandscapetoCommunism•What's your opinion on George Orwell?
7•1M

Jeez, didn’t know that. Gross.

What's your opinion on George Orwell?

Apparently he was a socialist, but he was against “authoritarian socialism” like Stalinism. What are your opinions on him and/or his writings?..

Are managers of an organization in a communist society also workers?

Obviously managers in a communist society won’t be bourgeoisie, right? But I imagine an organization in a communist society still needs people to coordinate everything, even if it’s run like a complete worker cooperative. So will they be elected by the workers? In that case, are they still workers?..

If you want to say, where are you at?

I’m curious as to how many people here have aspirations of moving to a socialist country, and think that they can succeed. If so, which one would you move to? …

@AgreeableLandscapetoCommunism•Goro's List of (Mostly) Recent Works on China (containing 138 works on China)
2•1M

Interesting resource, but Google Docs? Ew. Anyway, here’s a mirror:

Goro’s List of (Mostly) Recent Works on China

Introduction

Hey, it’s Goro here. I decided to compile a list of all the English translations of Chinese literature that I found on the Internet for Bay Area415. I originally did this for him and gave him everything I had, at least at the time that I gave him the heads-up on these books, but I decided to also compile this list and put everything in one place after someone said that he’d like to see the books that I found. Now, to be clear: not everything here is an English translation and there are some things that I just threw together that had to do with China.

In addition: I haven’t read any of these. And from what I can tell: the views expressed in these tomes are of various views on China. Sometimes there are criticisms in the book descriptions. Sometimes there aren’t. Sometimes there are policy suggestions by Chinese professors and political officials. I guarantee that most of the non-Chinese people that wrote their own books have some sort of bias against China as a whole, or at least, that’s what I think. I included them here nonetheless because it seemed that they had valuable information to share.

So far, I’ve only started reading A New Study on the Judicial Administrative System with Chinese Characteristics but only just started. In addition, I’ve been recommended much of Zhang Yibing’s work, such as Back to Marx. Andre Vitchek’s work is also supposed to be good. Other than that, I got no other suggestions. This is pretty much uncharted territory… and part of the point is to chart that territory, to gather the information that we can from these books, despite the (literal) cost of them. I myself tried to get the 3-volume set An Ideological History of the Communist Party of China, but had to refund it on second thought because, aside from being lost in transit, the cost was just too steep.

Also, I’m hoping to post this on Twitter and other social media. If you’re reading this, please Retweet. I don’t care what happens with these works, whether people convert them into PDFs or not, but I do care that this information gets out there, or at least this list of books that I spent hours trying to find (and let me tell you: it took quite a while). I’m also hoping that figures like Daniel Dumbrill decide to at least Retweet and maybe mention this list in a video or something, but either way, it’s fine. I just hope that people spread this around as it’s meant to be spread around.

For the record, I’m a Marxist-Leninist but I went looking for these books not only with a Marxist perspective in mind, but also with a non-Marxist one as well. That is, I wanted to get all facets of China down as much as possible, such as:

Science

History

Marxism

Literature

Economics

Internal Debates

Criticisms and Praises

Achievements

Etc.

Thus, that would explain the variety of what I found here. However, if you wish to contact me and tell me what to add on to this list, you can find me on Discord through Makan#7791, though I usually go by the name GoroTheHappyWarrior. You can also see me on Twitter through the account with the current name Muhacir, or @Muhacir2020.

Lastly, for those that don’t know, I also work on the ProleWiki project, which you can find here:

https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/ProleWiki:Main_Page

It’s basically a “Wikipedia” like site, but for Marxists. If you’re a Marxist-Leninist and wish to help, please do so by creating an account on ProleWiki and joining our Telegram group. We also need help with translations into French, Portuguese, and Spanish. But really, if you can help out, that would be much appreciated. We also hang out on Lemmygrad, which you can find here:

https://lemmygrad.ml/

Really, spread this list to everyone as much as possible, even people that are knowledgeable on this subject, such as Ian Goodrum on Twitter (@isgoodrum) or Daniel Dumbrill (@DanielDumbrill), as they may find this of interest. You can also find Bay Area on Twitter through the handle @bayareas415.

Lastly, again, this is all so we can sift through all this info on China. Some of these have criticisms and some of them have praise. I’d say at least half of them have criticisms and policy suggestions for the CPC, even some of the books published by the CPC themselves. So let’s sift through it all. I myself will buy a couple to help with the ProleWiki project and maybe talk about them online through YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, etc. Anyways, have fun with this list as I worked on it for several hours.

Solidarity, comrades, and good luck to you and yours.

The list is in the reply due to the length limit for Lemmy comments

@AgreeableLandscapetoCommunism•What are your opinion of the death penalty in the context of communism?
10•1M

Personally, I’m against it, the biggest reason being that wrongful executions will always be a problem, and one that I think has too high a cost.

What are your opinion of the death penalty in the context of communism?

I saw a great amount of polarization on this subject on /r/DebateCommunism, where some leftists supported it while others didn’t. Some said it shouldn’t be used at all, others said it should be used only for the most serious of violent crimes, while some say it should be carried out for anyone oppos…

They should have starting enabling the death penalty for being a fascist right now.

Being a facist or causing vioence as a facist? There’s a big difference and I don’t see how one can justify the death penalty for a state of mind or an opinion, even if it’s the wrong one.

@AgreeableLandscapetoCommunism•Would apartments under socialism come with common area amenities like pools, fitness rooms, or meeting rooms?
2•1M

Are your house size units in feet or meters? I’m assuming meters because 60 square feet is extremely small, unless that’s what you mean.

What do you think should be done about the existing detached houses in North America if it were to go communist? I hate the suburbs as much as you do, but I’m not convinced that demolishing all of them ASAP is a good use of resources.

Would apartments under socialism come with common area amenities like pools, fitness rooms, or meeting rooms?

You see these a lot in newer apartment buildings in the capitalist world, and not just highest end ones for the elite, as they are convenient. I’m curious if these would be included in a new apartment under socialism or if these would exclusively be full publicly accessible facilities. Is the idea o…

I see ads for communist parties in around my university campus (though this was at the start of the year before the lockdown), in Canada, and I’m curious about attending one of their meetings even though I’m not really decided on which leftist ideology I formally subscribe to. I imagine it’s going t…
