I took a quick look while it was up and it was just a user guide, similar to the lemmymigration subreddit

    Must be traumatic to have your worldview questioned for the first time. They’ve been fed anti-communists propaganda from birth and are now trying to avert their eyes, lol. Reminds me of evangelicals when they encounter “satanic” media.

      Are you suggesting that there are no valid criticisms of communism, and then removing the agency of anyone who suggests otherwise? I’m genuinely curious as a socdem who likes a lot of liberal ideas.

        I’m suggesting this is cult-like behavior, yes. People (especially communists) criticize various Marxist thinkers as well as the positions of communist parties all the time. Of course I don’t think every criticism is invalid. As far as I can tell, they’re barely even doing any criticizing in the linked thread, they’re just going “tankie warning!!! do not hang out with these people!!!”.

          I’m happy to say that wasn’t the response I was expecting, but now I’m not sure what to do with my tankie pitchfork.

      lol they’re going to reconsider their antipathy for reddit when they show up here and don’t have the entire reddit “policy” department putting their thumbs on the scales
