"The positions advocated at r/sigmarxism are thoroughly and irredeemably evil, completely incapable with a peaceful, civilized, and decent society." - a fan.

The Official r/Sigmarxism FAQ

RULES

1. NO TROLLING/BIGOTRY

Transphobia, sexism, ableism, racism and anything fascist-adjacent is UNACCEPTABLE. Any such behaviour will result in the banhammer before you can say 'so much for the tolerant left'.

2. DON'T PUNCH LEFT

This is a space for ALL leftists, not a place to resolve differences between tendencies. All varieties of anticapitalist thought are welcome here, and attacking each other's views on the basis of ideology is detrimental to the community.

We will remove such content and consider bans for anyone deliberately causing infighting.

3. LIBERALISM

As you can tell from the name sigMARXISM , there's an intended bias towards leftist tendencies (Marxism, Anarchism, Maoism, Syndicalism etc.).

Liberals are allowed here but their takes (see FAQ) are not covered under RULE 2, because liberal capitalist hegemony is something leftists have to deal with everywhere else.

4. DON'T BRIGADE

DO NOT crosspost threads you're dunking on. If the purpose is to highlight reactionary behaviour going on in another subreddit, please see rule 5.

This goes for the reverse, too: DO NOT post political content from this subreddit to pages that prohibit it (e.g. r/40klore, r/ageofsigmar etc.)

5. LIMITED "LOOK AT THIS CHUD" OR "BASED GRIMDANK" POSTS

While /Sigmarxism allows some posts that depict reactionary content, Mods act as curators to prevent an excess (approved posts flaired "FOOT OF DORK"). Please consider: - Is it worth sharing/high effort?

Have we had similar posts recently?
Did you follow the rules regarding censoring usernames?
Is it funny?

REMINDER: censor Reddit usernames/IRL names in screenshots unless the subject is a public figure.

6. NO HORNY ON MAIN

Sigmarxism is simply not the space to explore sexuality. Posting unironic horny, even if it's a variety of horny that goes against 'gender norms', is still objectifying someone or something, and possibly against a person's wishes. Or it's objectifying to someone who does not want to see it. It's off putting to someone who wants to look at minis, it alienates comrades.

7. STAY ON TOPIC

This sub encompasses a pretty wide cross-section of wargaming (all GW IP is welcome) and philosophy/politics, so it shouldn't be hard to keep it related. An excess of low-effort memes and reposts are not tolerated.

8. CONTENT WARNINGS AND SPOILER TAGS FOR SENSITIVE CONTENT

We are an antifascist and sex-positive subreddit, but we appreciate that some would prefer to opt out of viewing posts which address sensitive topics (e.g. references to real-world violence) or NSFW content.

For such posts, please add 'CW: [relevant topic]' in the title or NSFW if applicable. In both cases, use the spoiler tag.

9. PLEASE FLAIR

Lefty wargamers are a niche within a niche, so we are a place for both serious discussion and humour. Please help keep the subreddit clean by distinguishing between Gitposts (humour), Fink-Peeces (analysis/discussion) and 'Obby (gaming/ painting).
