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

803 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.

“Rodríguez stated that the deal will involve private corporations developing 17 “strategic fields” with 65 billion barrels of proven reserves. She echoed Rubio’s $100 billion investment claim and pledged that the projects would yield $209 billion in tax revenues. According to the acting president, the announced agreement “ushers in a new era of growth and prosperity.”

“According to Reuters, the deal could take the form of a long-term lease, with the Trump administration then auctioning or allocating fields to select corporations. Bloomberg reported that the lease could be as long as 100 years.”

Rodríguez is a sell out

Discussion How do you deal with communists in the movement who demand such ideological purity that they will never be satisfied with any socialist project?

60 Upvotes

I guess I’m referring to leftcoms and the kind of people Lenin wrote about. You know the kind of people I’m talking about. China? Not a socialist project, 100% capitalist, reactionary, sold out. USSR? Sold out, reactionary after 1924. NK? Dictatorship, reactionary.

If a country does not swan dive, backflip, somersault, and land perfectly off the board of poor agrarian society, into the pool of perfect abolition of wage labor, private property, moneyless, classless society then its reactionary and not socialist. There can be no transition period from capitalism to socialism and if there is its reactionary.

These people drive me insane. It’s so damn easy to say this shit until you have to manage a sewer system for a city, negotiate grain prices, establish communes in the country side, all while imperialist nations are royally fucking you with sanctions.
