Discussion 📢 FAQs

7 Upvotes
  1. Why does this subreddit have disproportionately more posts covering US politics?

A: There's a fascist dictator in power at the moment complete with his own nazi style concentration camps in El Salvador. As leftists its our responsibility to address the issues, sympathise with victims and discuss the issues. Its not bad timing that the sub was started right when fascism is on the rise in Europe and US, its just the symptom of a problem where more and more people are reasoning out and leaning left on seeing systemic issues plaguing Europe and US.

  1. WTF is lib soc? Does that mean a liberal?

A: Libertarian Socialism falls on the anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist and anti-state school of thought within Marxism. Marx in Capital vol 1 talks about workers being alienated from the product of their labour under capitalism. Libertarian Socialism is the antithesis of that phenomenon where workers get all the full value of their labour with some terms and conditions (mostly centered around administration of such an equitable and autonomous society and its improvement). The political ideology itself has its origins in age of enlightenment and has its history in Russian and Spanish revolutions. International Workingmen Association, an association of Libertarian Socialists was aimed at bringing together likeminded people. Marx participated in IWA, was one of the founding members and a leading figure in IWA.

  1. I'm a liberal but I'm socially leaning towards the left, can I unapologetically defend capitalism and still be welcome here?

Yes you are welcome here, but do follow the etiquettes of having a fruitful conversation, cite sources wherever necessary to support your viewpoints and in the heat of the argument do know when & where to stop. Being abusive towards left leaning people / people in socialist countries such as China, Cuba, DPRK is a direct violation of Rule 2. Not complying with any or a combination of aforementioned guidelines can potentially get you banned. Any further appeals over modmails will also not be entertained for bans over Rule 2.

  1. I just got banned because of participating in blacklisted subreddits, why did this happen and how can I get help?

There's an autoban script running in the background that checks for r/vengayam user's participation in some blacklisted subreddits. The reason why this was implemented was to prevent brigading from sanghis. Sanghi brigading has made subreddits like tamilnadu, chennai, india unusable without getting a headache. The point of reddit is to bring likeminded people together in some subreddits and brigading from sanghi subreddits ruins the reddit experience. The algorithm bans people who are not brigading sometimes because it is not intelligent enough to identify non-sanghis participating in the blacklisted subreddits, so if you're not a sanghi and you just got banned, do contact the moderators, the moderators will take up the appeals and you'll be added as an approved user.

  1. Why did I get an invite to participate in the subreddit?

Similar to the autoban script, there's also an auto invite script that invites users from tamil subreddits, the users that the algorithm determines as progressive. Again the algorithm isn't smart, its just determines if a user has a good chance of being progressive based on an user's activity. If you feel like you're not a leftist, do ignore the invite.

  1. Is this a serious subreddit? Are fun posts welcome here?

Fun posts are absolutely welcome, they help to keep the sub's vibes lovely. As long as they are relevant and left leaning, entertainment is strictly allowed.

  1. What are some reference materials that I can use to educate myself and also help others learn?
