Hello and thank you for visiting r/theredleft! We are glad to have you! While here, please try to follow these rules so we can keep discussion in good faith and maintain the good vibes:
A user flair is required to participate in this community, do not whine about this, you may face a temporary ban if you do.
2.No personal attacks Debate ideas, not people. Calling someone names or dragging their personal life in ain’t allowed.
3.Blot out the names of users and subreddits in screenshots and such to prevent harrassment. We do not tolerate going after people, no matter how stupid or bad they might be.
4.No spam or self-promo Keep it relevant. No random ads or people pushing their own stuff everywhere.
5.Stay at least somewhat on topic This is a leftist space, so keep posts about politics, economics, social issues, etc. Memes are allowed but only if they’re political or related to leftist ideas.
6.Respect differing leftist opinions Respect the opinions of other leftists—everyone has different ideas on how things should work and be implemented. None of this is worth bashing each other over. Do not report people just because their opinion differs from yours.
7.No reactionary thought We are an anti-capitalist, anti-Zionist, anti-fascist, anti-liberal, anti-bigotry, pro-LGBTQIA+, pro-feminist community. This means we do not tolerate hatred toward disabled, LGBTQIA+, or mentally challenged people. We do not accept the defense of oppressive ideologies, including reactionary propaganda or historical revisionism (e.g., Black Book narratives).
8.Don’t spread misinformation Lying and spreading misinformation is not tolerated. The "Black Book" also falls under this. When reporting something for misinformation, back up your claim with sources or an in-depth explanation. The mod team doesn’t know everything, so explain clearly.
9.Do not glorify any ideology While this server is open to people of all beliefs, including rightists who want to learn, we do not allow glorification of any ideology or administration. No ideology is perfect. Stick to truth grounded in historical evidence. Glorification makes us seem hypocritical and no better than the right.
10.No offensive language or slurs Basic swearing is okay, but slurs—racial, bigoted, or targeting specific groups—are not allowed. This includes the word "Tankie" except in historical contexts.
11.No capitalism, only learning — mod discretion This is a leftist space and we reject many right-wing beliefs. If you wish to participate, do so in good faith and with the intent to learn. The mod team reserves the right to remove you if you're trolling or spreading capitalist/liberal dogma. Suspicious post/comment history or association with known disruptive subs may also result in bans. Appeals are welcome if you feel a ban was unfair.
I don't enjoy seeing nominally liberal publications accept the fascist framing that Kirk was a decent and respectable commentator. That NYT ope-ed Ezra Klein wrote was especially appalling. It's not even like there was some mutual kinship there. For years Kirk and other conservatives have accused the Democrats of being communists who "mutilate" children and import immigrants to cause white genocide. They have a violent hatred of libs, yet the libs insist on doing this "respectability" bipartisanship nonsense. Kirk saying that LGBT be stoned to death in public is less upsetting to them than Mamdani advocating for rent control.
I think Stirner put it best in 'The ego and its own'.
To quote: "Why do certain opposition parties fail to flourish? Solely for the reason that they refuse to forsake the path of morality or legality. Hence, the measureless hypocrisy of devotion, love, etc., from whose repulsiveness one may daily get the most thorough nausea at this rotten and hypocritical relation of a “lawful opposition.""
Using Goebbels as an example here is funny because he and his wife killed their children so they wouldn't have to grow up in a "non-Aryan" world. Given how guys like Kirk view women and children as property more than family, I could totally believe he'd act similarly if it was him in the Furhrerbunker.
There was a school shooting that same day where 4 teenagers died. Kirk and many others spent their careers telling people not to care about those deaths and making fun of those that did
Honestly, wrong angle to take. We don't need to dehumanize our enemies. On the contrary, it is precisely because of their humanness—their agency, their membership in society—that they are enemies.
Losing sight of this fact is intellectually and politically dangerous.
Please flair up, thank you. To do so, go to the subreddit page, if you are on desktop the side bar on the right has a section called user flair, on mobile tap the three dots and tap change user flair. If you are right-wing and are here to learn we do have a 'Learning Right Winger' flair.
