SUBREDDIT RULES

1. No non-Marxists or trolls. This is a sub for MLs and other sympathetic Marxists. Liberals, reactionaries, and trolls will be banned. Anarchists, "libertarian socialists", and the like can make posts or comments against capitalism, but attempting to debate against the immortal science of Marxism-Leninism from an anarchist or libsoc point-of-view can get you banned. Debates between Marxists are generally allowed (subject to other rules).

2. No brocialists. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or other oppressive attitudes toward marginalized groups. No slurs ("TERF" and "boomer" are not slurs). No diminishing the struggles that marginalized groups face as unimportant relative to class struggle. Criticisms of liberal idpol are allowed (e.g. "More female camp guards").

3. Questions about Marxism are allowed only at moderator discretion. This is a community for Marxists, and most of us don't want to field the same basic questions about Marxism repeatedly. If you have a question about Marxism, we recommend taking your question to r/communism101 (and preferably using the search bar there to see whether your question has been answered). That being said, we do not have a blanket "No questions" policy. It is at our discretion what questions are allowed and what questions are not allowed.

4. No Russian/Capitalist Nationalism. Russia, and other nations, have a right to resist NATO/imperialist aggression. Russia is also not socialist, and the conflict in Ukraine does not contribute to restoring power to the working class in Russia/the former Soviet Bloc. Therefore: no uncritical posting of Russian soldiers acting tough or gloating about their nice equipment. No rave crab videos because Bakhmut fell. No childish sycophancy for the Russian military or government.

5. No War Sycophancy. We support liberation struggles. War footage videos edited with flashy cuts, obsequious titles, and Western music is incredibly cringe. People are fighting and dying for their freedom, their liberation struggle is not your AMV or a meme. Keep war reporting professional and informative.
