This is truly atrocious behavior.

The above is the Twitter link with the person who is complaining about it.

I know that /r/communism has been run by Maoist mods for a long time, and I know that u/smokeuptheweed has absolute bonkers takes.

I wish we had an alternative to /r/communism on Reddit, but I guess we have to grow that here.

    They seem to be conflating autism with nazi science, this is some of the most stupid shit ive ever read in my entire life

    15 year old moderator team, feds, trots, wreckers or all of the above, you decide.

    From what I gather they seem to think Autism didnt exist before capitalism, I dunno what to say other than how much of an obvious falsehood that is - capitalism gave us structures of education more accessible to the masses and things like biopower, and study into psychology within that structure.

    Of course we would only start to understand these things with investigation, merely defining something through research doesnt mean that thing never existed before you observed it, its peak chauvinism to suggest otherwise.

    edit:

    Genuinally just stop using reddit comrade, no one of substance posts on it anymore - its firmly captured by the CIA and has direct ties to the american upper class, you’re being drip fed a steady stream of american propoganda, anti-communism and tolerable to the upper class leftism (because this is what it produces, alienation at the aboslute insane takes allowed to be posted on ‘communist’ spaces)

    I also guarentee 90% of any discussion on the frontpage is american chatbots programmed to be positive towards foreign policy objectives and hostile to far-left posters. It creates the illusion of consensus.
