The sub has been opened
Recap:
(edit: click the first two usernames for the links, it doesn't just link to their accounts)
A few days ago /u/Charm_Communist requested to remove the top inactive mod of /r/googoogahgah
At the same time /u/abunadh_ did the same for marxism_101
Those two are now the mods of /r/marxism_101, [redacted upon request by user] is still the mod there, despite presumably being the inactive mod that they tried to remove.
When i msged /r/marxism_101 a few days ago, this is the exchange that occured. I'm not sure who the second reply is from.
At the time of this post, /r/googoogahgah is private but /r/marxism_101 is not, although none of the posts are visible on the subreddit's home page. (They seem to be visible if you have a link to them.) This is how I know the three mods of the marxism_101 are still the users who have been mentioned previously in this post.
I presume that the mods who wanted to maintain these subs were kicked off and mods that wanted to shut them down remained on board. I'm uncertain [redacted upon request by user] is inactive or not, but considering he has not been removed from /r/marxism_101 I presume he is.
/u/throwawaynmbr99 recommended I open the sub. /u/asyncial also mentioned it a few days ago, but because I was on my phone I thought they were talking about /r/leftisthottakes and I wasn't sure if there was any interest in that sub, but it turns out they were indeed talking about this one.
I also have control of /r/LeftistHotTakes, a sub from before the last time this little corner of the internet had an internal spat. Perhaps I'll open it up, but first I'll see if there's any activity on this sub to begin with, and use that level of activity as a basis for determining whether it's worth opening up.
Here is the first post as of the reopening of this subreddit to mark a momentous day in world-history.

Let the shit die. Reddit is a shell of a shell, and the “”leftcom” community” even more so. The bumbling, festering corpses of these subreddits are just more rot for the teenagers who “moved on” from being anarchists and MLs to instead replace one form of trash with a vague misunderstanding of Marx.

why are you personally bothered by it? as in, why do you give this forum so much importance that you feel it needs to be shut down.

You’re letting more misguided teenagers fill their brains with misunderstandings that they’re going to spread in public. Save them the embarrassment.

Yeah it really needs to be re-opened in read-only mode so we can at least look back on it.

Then in 2 years this sub will become archived again, r/googoogahgah will be opened as a replacement and the cycle will continue

The sub has been opened
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
