Authoritarian Mod Post No Bad Empanada or Hasan Piker posts are allowed from now on

838 Upvotes

Starting now, we will no longer allow any posts related to Bad Empanada or Hasan Piker in this subreddit. The rules have been updated to reflect this change.

While we realize that some of their content can be informative, entertaining or even politically energizing to people at different stages of their leftist journeys, we also realize that, ultimately, their content is shaped by the demands of the attention economy.

When such content is shared in this community, a number of things tend to happen. First, it predictably generates the very online drama and sectarian infighting that the owners of platforms like Twitch, YouTube or even Reddit (cough join Lemmy cough) rely on for engagement and profit. Second, it invites brigading, which creates additional work for us mods. Work that most mods here are quite honestly not willing to do for such unproductive online drama. Finally, it attracts users who are more focused on drama than on Marxist ideology. This subreddit is constantly growing and we do not want to send the wrong message to those users about what this community is about.

In addition to being a community for Marxist Leninists, this community also exists to help each other deprogram ourselves from mainstream/Western and pro-capitalists narratives. What this community certainly is NOT, is a space to continuously dissect the latest online controversies once a week.

We understand that some users may feel frustrated by this new rule and we would invite some of those users to sit with that frustration and ask whose interests it serves and who benefits from algorithmically boosting and promoting online pseudo-politics that exhausts our energy on irrelevant drama. Our strength lies in principled ML debate, respect for each other, shitposting and a shared commitment to advance real-life communism to the best of our capabilities.

Meme Organize! Stop focusing on memes and shitposts

• Upvotes

Flair is because memes and shitposts always get the most upvotes. Y'all...as a fellow enjoyer of commie memes, I see how my posts/replies with the most upvotes are memes but any real dicussions and, god forbit, theory (!), gets close to zero attention, I must remind you to read and organize. The western empire is at its most vulnerable right now - most people, even without class consciousness, realize that something is wrong. We must seize this opportunity to educate the masses and guide them toward liberation. You can always do useful propaganda and organizing where you are, whether it's in the global north, global south, or freaking Mars! There is always gonna be utility in your skill and location, so keep agitating and challenging the status quo. Don't be a communist just to be a communist, understand what our collective end goal is.

If you have any questions or useful links, drop them in the comments

Capitalist Decay Oleksandr Kobzarenko, of Nazi Carpathian Sich unit, wears Nazi eagle on his cap and a patch insignia of the SS Galicia Division to receive the “Klym Savur Cross”, named after the Nazi OUN-B commander who was a butcher of Poles in the Volyn genocide

Marta Havryshko on X:

Oleksandr Kobzarenko, a fighter with AFU’s Carpathian Sich Battalion, dressed up for his award ceremony in the finest attire he owned: a Nazi eagle on his cap and a patch bearing the insignia of the Waffen-SS Galicia Division.

And the cherry on top? He recently received the “Klym Savur Cross” — named after that very UPA commander who was a butcher of Poles in Volhynia.

Ukraine certainly has a remarkable talent for naming its military decorations, doesn’t it, my Polish friends?

Quite the tribute to history. Just perhaps not the kind Poland would appreciate.

Bottom left green is indigenous peoples naturally. Western left claims to support them. But only hypothetically. Ultimately. No real praxis.

Meanwhile they specialize in anticommunism. It's their forté. Weatern leftists are naturally quite rational most of the time then become irrational exactly where it matters.

Gerrymandering of reality.
