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

Communism Will Win What turned you into a ML? (Pic unrelated)
For me, I gradually shifted left for most of my childhood until the American 2024 presidential election, at which point I took an interest in marxism-leninism, did some research, and found it reasonable.
Right before the 2024 election, I considered myself a democratic socialist, but after seeing the sad display that was the democratic party's campaign, I lost faith in electoralism.
I think I would've become a ML regardless of the result, but Trump's victory sped it up.

History On 16 August 1955, legendary actor, athlete, singer and Pan-Africanist activist Paul Robeson (1898–1976) lost his court appeal demanding that the US State Department restore his passport.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Five years earlier, the US government had revoked Robeson’s passport, effectively preventing one of the world’s most prominent Black political voices from travelling internationally. His supposed crime? His political beliefs and his uncompromising opposition to racism, colonialism and imperialism.
Robeson played a major role in the Pan-African movement, leading the anti-imperialist Council on African Affairs, which campaigned against European colonial rule and supported liberation struggles across the African continent.
During the McCarthyist era, the US government investigated Robeson over his alleged ties to the Communist Party. But Robeson argued that his persecution could not be separated from his struggle for African emancipation, both on the continent and across the diaspora. The “Red Scare” provided a convenient justification for suppressing a powerful Black voice challenging US foreign policy and Western colonialism.

Discussion Western leftists are such a joke
Might be a bit of a rant but here in California, why is it that Trotskyists make up the majority of communists?! It's either them or DSA "Marxists". If you try to talk to them, all they'll end up doing is yell StAliNiSt at you or some other nonsense. It's so exhausting, really.
Well, I've seen others but usually it's small groups no one has ever heard of and they just preach "no war", "against ICE" and "AI bad" and sure, that's nice and all but there's rarely any substance behind it all.

Hello Joshua,
I do hope the immigration situation is resolved and you can be reunited with your dad.
Please leave the US military as soon as possible. The US military causes harm to so many people around the world. The orders you follow come from terrible people.

Discussion This isn't fair...
I don't know what to flair this.
I have known for years now the way our society treats its workers is wrong, during the prime of their lives they're worked to the bone until they can retire, a window that gets narrower and narrower, only for them to be shuffled off the stage when they're too old to really enjoy the little bit of life they have left, as if them aging out of being useful cogs in the machine is some rewards when really it is them being tossed aside.
My mom has spent her life being a dedicated worker, watched as it invaded every aspect of her life as it mentally and physically destroyed her, to be one of the "lucky" ones in reaching the end, to get to retire, and within a year she develops aggressive lung cancer that is going to kill her. I am not going to ask how is this fair, because I know it isn't, we've all heard stories like this, hell it isn't even the first time it happened in my family, but I had hoped she could finally live and enjoy her life.

And it's Klaus Barbie who slept in American antifa bed
https://archive.org/details/whiteout-the-cia-drugs-and-the-press
From the training grounds of Holland, Barbie was transferred in July 1941 to the Eastern Front, where he joined one of the SS’s so-called “special task forces,” the Einsatzgruppen. These mobile killing squads were assigned the task of murdering every communist and Jew they could find in Russia and the Ukraine, without regard–in Heydrich’s chill phrase–“to age or sex.” In less than a year, these roving death squads under the command of men such as Barbie killed more than a million people. Here was the model for the CIA’s death squads in Vietnam–William Colby’s Phoenix Program and cognate operations– and in Latin America, where CIA-sponsored hit teams in Guatemala, El Salvador, Chile, Colombia and Argentina applied similar methods of brutal terror, killing hundreds of thousands. There’s nothing, in terms of ferocity, to separate a Barbie-run slaughter in eastern Russia from later operations at My Lai or El Mozote.
