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

805 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.

Discussion PSL discourse is legit so confusing

92 Upvotes

If you look up information on the PSL you will see the the organization described as all of the following:

-a party that does a lot

-a party that doesn't actually do a lot

-the best party leftists in the states have available

-a dogshit trotskyist party you shouldn't join

-a healthy community of leftists with flaws

- a straight up cult with rampant abuse that is covered up

You will see former members saying it was fine, and you will see former members saying it was dreadful and that they wish they would have left earlier.

Its so confusing to try and figure out what's going on. Socialism 4 All HATES the PSL for instance. (I think because he is so hardcore anti-revisionist)

Capitalist Decay Stop loudly playing music from speakers and assuming your coworkers like it

Upvotes

I don't like hearing music when I'm at work. Sometimes my coworkers loudly play music in the production floor and break room. I hate it.

Any song I hear at work is ruined for weeks/months because I mentally associate it with my job.

Hyper-individualism

The hyper-individualism of the USA makes it so people don't care if their actions affect other people.

The bourgeoisie wants you to only care about yourself. People are less likely to organize if they only care about themselves.

Shit Liberals Say I'm so tired of hearing about Trump's stupid ballroom.

28 Upvotes

It seems like social media and news outlets can't stop frothing at the mouth about how Trump's ballroom is desecrating "the people's house" and how he has no right to make those type of renovations and "erase history". The project is 100% a gaudy, likely illegal, idiotic pursuit that we are used to from Trump, but the way so many liberals latch onto and focus on this specific issue with all the other atrocities this country commits on a daily basis is just peak performative outrage over meaningless shit. Let him desecrate that genocidal slaver house! Fuck it, throw in a KFC/Taco Bell combo while you're at it! I honestly just find the whole situation hilarious.
