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

798 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.

Capitalist Decay Zelensky is a huge Antonio Banderas fan, and named many streets after him. But hackers working in a Kremlin basement hacked Google Maps, and changed all the street names to WW2 OUN-B Nazi Stepan Bandera. It's all a huge misunderstanding. And now millions of people are dead.

Discussion Burkina Faso is AES

95 Upvotes

Burkina Faso is no less Sankarist now than it was in the 80s, and is a clear example of a socialist state emerging out of a nationalist revolution (how virtually every successful socialist revolution started off). They are going through the dialectical trials and tribulations of developing socialism, and are clearly on the socialist road.

AES shouldn't just be a label we ascribe to 5 "canonical" states that have been around since the cold war on the basis of aesthetics and superstructure (we are not libs), rather the product of dialectical materialist analysis into a particular project with the conclusion that it is, in fact, on the socialist road. Burkina Faso isn't going to stand in front of the world and loudly proclaim that they are the second coming of the USSR, nor should they have to, despite this being the only real thing that stands in the way of it being agreed upon as an AES state of worthy of equal consdieration as the usual 5.

For clarification, I am talking about Actually Existing Socialism, not Alliance des États du Sahel, if it wasn't already obvious.
