Communism
Discussion Community for fellow Marxist-Leninists and other Marxists.
Rules for /c/communism
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
- No non-marxists
This subreddit is here to facilitate discussion between marxists.
There are other communities aimed at helping along new communists. This community isn't here to convert naysayers to marxism.
If you are a member of the police, armed forces, or any other part of the repressive state apparatus of capitalist nations, you will be banned.
- No oppressive language
Do not attempt to justify your use of oppressive language.
Doing this will almost assuredly result in a ban. Accept the criticism in a principled manner, edit your post or comment accordingly, and move on, learning from your mistake.
We believe that speech, like everything else, has a class character, and that some speech can be oppressive. This is why speech that is patriarchal, white supremacist, cissupremacist, homophobic, ableist, or otherwise oppressive is banned.
TERF is not a slur.
- No low quality or off-topic posts
Posts that are low-effort or otherwise irrelevant will be removed.
This is not a place to engage in meta-drama or discuss random reactionaries on lemmy or anywhere else.
This includes memes and circlejerking.
This includes most images, such as random books or memorabilia you found.
We ask that amerikan posters refrain from posting about US bourgeois politics. The rest of the world really doesn’t care that much.
- No basic questions about marxism
Posts asking entry-level questions will be removed.
Questions like “What is Maoism?” or “Why do Stalinists believe what they do?” will be removed, as they are not the focus on this forum.
- No sectarianism
Marxists of all tendencies are welcome here.
Refrain from sectarianism, defined here as unprincipled criticism. Posts trash-talking a certain tendency or marxist figure will be removed. Circlejerking, throwing insults around, and other pettiness is unacceptable.
If criticisms must be made, make them in a principled manner, applying Marxist analysis.
The goal of this subreddit is the accretion of theory and knowledge and the promotion of quality discussion and criticism.

Is it that odd to like the first one and not the second? I played the entirety of the second one waiting for some interesting choices, the few interactions I enjoyed were with the evil-aligned companions (which is not really enough to warrant a full playthrough). The whole premise of the adventure path is underwhelming, really. Instead of doing something interesting like dethroning the monarchy, you get to fight demons for a feckless leader.
Some of the mechanics were improved, and I did like the mythic paths, but it felt like there was only one interesting chapter (the one where you travel to the demon city), even if it was annoying to navigate.
That's true, I guess I've just played enough similar games where I could say "oh, this feels like an important choice, I better do it." And then my character became a lich.
But I can definitely see where you're coming from for a certain other path where there are quite a lot of hoops to go through.
And I think the game is supposed to have replayability though those paths... but then they put all the content with the paths they think players will be drawn to. Not necessarily the most fun to play. Like, I picked Lich to resurrect certain dead characters, but there's no interaction with them beyond "go home" and "come with me".
Talking about the second game makes me want to replay Kingmaker. I actually liked the party members in that game.
