I get that that community is supposed to be dunking on capitalists, but let’s not pretend all the countries MLs glorify are/were actually socialist. When protecting dictators takes priority over anti-capitalism, that’s when we’re truly cooked.

      Rule 3 explicitly says anti-socialism, anti-communism and capitalist apologia. Stating MLs glorify authoritarian dictators isn’t anti-communism because those dictators weren’t communist.

      To add to that, the mod action comment did not mention any rules, it just claimed the removed comment was misinformation, which it wasn’t.

        Stating MLs glorify authoritarian dictators isn’t anti-communism because those dictators weren’t communist.

        This is quite literally anti-communism. Claiming that globally recognized communist movements were not communist is the quintessential definition of anti-communism. The fact that you disagree doesn’t make the mod a power tripping bastard, it makes you in violation of that community’s rules. It’s quite simple.

          Those famous communist states. Not an oxymoron at all.

          Note how MLs don’t have an answer for their own failures of applying Marxist teachings. Despite reading theory they can’t apply it.
