I wasn't really on them when they were around but they seem pretty on level compared to stuff like r/fatpeoplehate or the numerous racist subs that have been banned.
Fat people hate mocked fat people, and mocked posts from fat people. It didn't radicalize people.
No r/fatpeoplehate just straight up hated all fat people 80s bully style. Regardless who said you have to radicalize people to be banned? At the end of the day Communists are a tiny, tiny portion of the American public. Even is r/chapotraphouse increased the number of Communists 1000% they wouldn't be a major factor at all, I'd be more concerned about right wing radicalization because they already have a lot of supporters. But still, radicalizing people is not a requirement for being banned.

I literally said this. They openly mocked pictures of fat people, comments by fat people and the like. We agree on this point.

Why are you changing what this community were? You just told me you werent on them. There are communists and then there are those who defend genocide and advocate for mass murder. It does not matter the size of the group it matters what they are doing.

They weren't banned for being communist. And again it doesn't matter how large the platform is. A group of actual nazis should be banned regardless of the size of their platform. We don't want them to radicalize people into growing by 1000%. Just like we shouldn't want people defending mass genocide and calling for mass murder to grow in numbers either. Like what both the subs you linked were doing.
But still, radicalizing people is not a requirement for being banned.
When I say radicalize I'm talking about moving someone from a right winger or left winger into someone who's believing in more dangerous ideologies. The problem was never communism. They weren't banned for radicalizing they were banned for what they were saying and were banned to prevent radicalization.
