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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

There is no such thing as "North Korea" and "South Korea". There is only one Korea, but the South region of Korea is still occupied by US military bases and troops.
Korea was invaded over 75 years ago by the United States and protected by the Soviet Union.
And the US side is the one constantly doing absurd military demonstrations at the border. But trust me, we're the good guys!!!
those demos are legit invasion drills. they are in NO WAY for self-defense.
I read the account of a US soldier in Korea on Reddit. He was posted near the DMZ. They have artillery pointed at the DPRK ready to fire at any time. His job was being posted there, so it's a 24/7 thing.
No self-awareness in that soldier.
There is even a US military base in the middle of Seoul. And military police walks around (presumably to prevent their soldiers from being too violent against civilians). Also lots of night clubs in Seoul have signs that US soldiers are not allowed to enter.
presumably to prevent their soldiers from being too violent against civilians
If they are, they're doing a shit job at it. American soldiers abroad are known to commit a shit ton of rape.
The unification of Korea is economic. The emancipation of the Korean people is political.
Long live People's Korea!
Long live the Korean people!
This is why we all need to support the DPRK critically at the very least against US imperialism
