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.

    literally on /r/communism right now is a post talking about how the shining path is actually the best example of communism ever conceived lol…

    how did /r/communism get captured by some of the most niche and shunned sects of communism?

      This happened after the “tankie purge”. I have seen it even in real life organizations for instance, “off putting” and “not a good look” ml’s get pushed aside for socdems or just one well liked leadership individual (who follows a specific label) manages to bully out those who oppose them.

      I would guess that by banning the ML subreddits and users like in GenZhou and GenZedong, the ones left are the MLMpMs and other ultraleftists.
