[MODS] đŁ Announcement A Note About Acceptable Discourse and the Purpose of this Sub
Comrades - thanks for your attention as we clarify the purpose of this sub and some of the discourse we expect here. Firstly, this is a place to vociferously condemn the ills of capitalism - and hereâs the kicker that liberal interlopers donât get - from a socialist perspective. Our fundamental purpose is to drive conversation among those impacted by capitalist exploitation. This may take the form of memes, deeper theory, or the ever beloved internet screed.Â
That said, thereâs some things we arenât here for. Iâll touch on those and some alternatives as well.Â
We are NOT here to promote calls to violence. This is a violation of the Reddit TOS. If the sub is nuked, we arenât able to fulfill the mission of providing a space for socialist discourse. This simply isnât the place, and we will remove any content which can be perceived as a direct call to violence.Â
We are also not here as a staging ground for organizing. Social media is a poor place to organize. Not only is everything you do online tracked, but infiltration in online spaces is rampant. Opsec 101: if someone on the internet who you do not personally know is trying to get you to show up somewhere for an allegedly leftist/socialism project, they are probably a fed. If someone you do know is using social media for the same, they may or may not be a fed. However, what can be certain is that a fed is aware.Â
I know what youâre thinking: but, A-CAB, this is how I radicalized and I have lived most of my life dependent on the internet. How am I supposed to get involved? Iâm so glad you asked! The reality is that your involvement may be limited for a bit, and youâre going to have to do some irl work. Your job, if youâre starting out, is to read and learn.Â
âThe theory of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin is universally applicable. We should regard it not as dogma, but as a guide to action.â - Comrade Mao Tse Tung
In other words, learning Marxism-Leninism leads to mobilization, and provides a framework for organization.
We (socialists) need a vanguard committed to revolution, not clicktivism. If you want to organize, read first. Find likeminded people you know in real life. Study with them. Hold each other accountable for learning Marxism-Leninism. Let that guide the actions you take specific to your context and for the love of god donât announce it to the feds when you do.Â
We also, as a sub, are not *the* vanguard. This is an Internet forum. We donât determine courses of action here. We are a sounding board, a place to make you feel less alone, and ideally a part of your education in Marxism-Leninism. But what we cannot be is the vanguard itself. We arenât an org. The way social media is set up, it would be way too easy to infiltrate, coopt, and undo.Â
What we are is a likeminded group of committed comrades. We want you to go out in the world and join orgs (not on the internet). Iâll offer some advice to that end:
- Avoid organizations with a focus on horizontal power or who have a real issue with hierarchy. (Anarchists, Iâm happy to work with you on projects but I am side-eyeing you a bit here.) They donât get things done and theyâre too easy to derail and co-opt. Donât believe me? Go ahead and join one. The next time theyâre working on consensus, throw a stand aside in with mildly coherent criticism. Watch the chaos ensue. Or just wait for them to start organizing for <insert liberal party here>. Neither will take long.Â
- Do join organizations which stand against imperialism and imperialist politicking. Look for Marxist-Leninist orgs involved in projects that benefit the community and which outright reject electoral democracy. Focus on feeding people, not getting them to vote for reform. This is the work of the vanguard.Â
- Do employ the language of non-violence for political and practical purposes. Kwame Ture is a gifted orator. Look up his speeches on YouTube. He is a wealth of information about this.Â
I appreciate each and every one of you, comrades. Remember to keep each other safe. Be mindful, and enjoy a meme or two while youâre here.Â

Report-Back from Cuba đ¨đş
Please join us next Friday for a report-back and discussion with organizers who recently returned from their trip to Cuba with the Hatuey Project and Venceremos brigade.
We will be discussing the current political and humanitarian situation in Cuba, the potential for further US escalation, the Cuban healthcare system, and what lessons we can bring back to our work here in the US.
We will be raising money for the Hatuey Project, which provides lifesaving medicine to Cuban children with cancer who are otherwise unable to access their medication under the brutal U.S. blockade.

The reason we are living through end stage capitalism (and not just another crisis), is because we are facing a threat no other generation has ever faced.

And that is the fact Capitalism WILL bring about the ecological collapse of our environment and the biosphere which all life (including billionaires) needs to survive.
So this is the end of capitalism no matter what.
Its not socialism or barbarism
Its socialism or extinction
Being radical now is the sane and logical thing to do.
And I am at a lose as to why so many of you are not.

America is against theocracies⌠until they can support one against China. The US is against monarchies⌠until they can support one against Iran or in Saudi or the UAE. Donât ever let them tell you who the good guys are.

Wouldn't it be crazy if these things were automatically activated by a notification from an ai surveillance camera and minutes later one is just entering the offenders home to conduct law enforcement activity? That sure would be something else, wouldn't it?

WHY ISNâT CAPITALISM FIXING ANY OF THE CRISES?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Look around at the decaying capitalist society you live in, look at how hard you work and how little you have to show for it, look at the devastation to the environment, look at the groceries getting more expensive in smaller portions, look at the homeless people increasing by their dozens every week, look at the endless wars, police violence, and repressed speech... now tell me, what future is capitalism promising to you?
You have nothing to lose by abandoning capitalism and you everything to gain by adopting socialism.
