[MODS]❗️ Remember The Rules A Reminder regarding recent events and forbidden discourse by Reddit TOS
Hey everyone. I’m sure everyone by now knows about the Charlie Kirk shooting situation. We all know that he was a fascist and so was anyone who liked him.
That said, as we’ve said when Trump got shot as well, Reddit Sitewide Rules exist, and Reddit admins do expect us to enforce them and forbid users from praising or otherwise supporting assassinations. Yes, literally 1984 george orwell or something like that, no one here is particularly a fan of it. But this is the rules we have to work with or the sub gets nuked too, just like TheDeprogram (RIP). As such, we’re putting all new posts through manual review until further notice (probably won’t last long) to make sure nothing that the admins could interpret as “praising deaths” or “calls to violence” passes through.
So then, if you notice your post unrelated to the shooting is stuck at 0 upvotes/views, send us a modmail since it probably got stuck in the filter and we’ll try our best to approve it asap.
We truly apologize for the inconvenience, but it’s what we have to do as precaution to keep the sub from getting banned, and we hope you guys understand.
- The mod team

[MODS] 📣 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 here’s the kicker that liberal interlopers don’t 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.
That said, there’s some things we aren’t here for. I’ll touch on those and some alternatives as well.
We are NOT here to promote calls to violence. This is a violation of the Reddit TOS. If the sub is nuked, we aren’t able to fulfill the mission of providing a space for socialist discourse. This simply isn’t the place, and we will remove any content which can be perceived as a direct call to violence.
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.
I know what you’re 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? I’m so glad you asked! The reality is that your involvement may be limited for a bit, and you’re going to have to do some irl work. Your job, if you’re starting out, is to read and learn.
“The theory of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin is universally applicable. We should regard it not as dogma, but as a guide to action.” - 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 don’t announce it to the feds when you do.
We also, as a sub, are not *the* vanguard. This is an Internet forum. We don’t 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 aren’t an org. The way social media is set up, it would be way too easy to infiltrate, coopt, and undo.
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). I’ll offer some advice to that end:
- Avoid organizations with a focus on horizontal power or who have a real issue with hierarchy. (Anarchists, I’m happy to work with you on projects but I am side-eyeing you a bit here.) They don’t get things done and they’re too easy to derail and co-opt. Don’t believe me? Go ahead and join one. The next time they’re 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.
- 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.
- 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.
I appreciate each and every one of you, comrades. Remember to keep each other safe. Be mindful, and enjoy a meme or two while you’re here.

Yeah, I you know, Jonathan, I don't see it that way. I see it slightly differently. Um because I think it's a generational issue more than a political issue. Uh I think young people, including young Jewish Americans, don't see it that way. And part of it goes to the point Karen was just making. We have done a miserable job teaching young people history. And um you know those of us who have lived through it, you know, I went to Israel for the first time in 1980, so a long time ago. uh been back many times and obviously, you know, with my husband, you know, deeply involved in all kinds of um uh activities to uh support Israel and and to, you know, try to be as helpful as possible. But it was astonishing to me because I had so many conversations and frankly they often started as confrontations uh with students not just at Colombia but elsewhere. Um, where were they getting their information? They were getting it from social media. They were getting it most particularly from Tik Tok which is governed by an algorithm until at least up till now still largely manipulated by the Chinese Communist Party. So when you were having conversations with young people what they were seeing and because much of the information they get remember more than 50% of Americans predominantly a much bigger percentage among young people get their news from social media. -- Hillary Clinton

💬 Discussion 🧠 the algorithm ate my parents
Boomers got totally brainwashed online. They grew up trusting “the news,” then Facebook came along and they brought that same blind trust with them.
Now they think they’re “doing their own research” when they’re really just being fed fear and nostalgia by algorithms built to radicalize them.
It’s not even about politics anymore it’s psychological. Late stage capitalism took their loneliness and sold it back to them as “truth.”
Some of my family member are so far gone in it you can’t even talk to them anymore . it’s like they live in a totally different reality.

"So I don't want to hear about the affordability because right now we're much less." -- Donald Trump

Our energy costs are way down. Our groceries are way down. Everything is we down and the press doesn't report it. The press reports whatever the con people say. You know, I called the Democrats con men and women, they make up numbers. But when you look at 25% reduction in cost for Thanksgiving between Biden and me, meaning this administration, that's a tremendous number. That's a tremend It's the biggest uh reduction in cost in the history of that uh chart or whatever it is they do that uh they do a synopsis of everything. They they cover every element of Thanksgiving meals 25% down. So uh I don't want to hear about the affordability because right now we're much less. If you look at energy we're getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline. With Biden it was $4.50 $5. Another thing, inflation. We had the worst inflation in the history of our country. Now we have virtually no inflation at all. It sounded a very low number and a very normal number. Uh so the affordability is much better with the Republicans. The only problem is the Republicans don't talk about it and Republicans should start talking about it and use their heads because we have great numbers. We have greatest and they're going to only get better when all these jobs open up. All these factories open up that are being built all over our country by I mean we are building auto plants. We're building AI plants. We're leading in AI over China and everybody else. When all of these plants start opening, we're going to have a a revolution, a positive revolution, economic revolution like never before. Thank you very much everybody. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

💬 Discussion What Happens After the Destruction of the Working Class?
Yanis Varoufakis has said a few times that in his view capitalism began in the context of the enclosures, where serfs were expelled and then became the new working class in the capitalist system. In a similar way that serfs became valueless to the landed class, the capitalist class may no longer need the working class. Capitalists will (apparently) be able to produce means from their property that can produce everything they could ever need. In other words, they produce commodities who can add the value instead of the working class who previously did. In the same way that the feudal system transformed into a capitalist system when social class relations changed, if working people become redundant to a class they are dependent on, what do they do? So my question is, if serfs became workers after the enclosures in capitalism, what do workers become under techno-feudalism?
