i got banned a while ago because I corrected someone on a comment the brazilian economy minister made. IIRC I just said his comment wasn’t as bad as portrayed and that marxist-leninists should strive to be factual as reality is own our side, so there’s no need to strawman or exaggerate what’s happening. never said he or the current administration were good or anything of the sort.

got banned for being a fascist sympathizer when a couple of clicks on my profile would’ve shown that’s not the case lmao

it should’ve been a wake-up call when non-ML meme subs were better at radicalizing people than /r/communism, but i guess they’d rather keep their little “academic” club.
though the sub really is a good learning index for people who are already MLs, i’ll give it that.

it’s honestly so weird that americans feel like they can call out other countries for cult of personalities when the founding fathers are a thing. even the term itself is so fucking weird as a foreigner.

if anything this means we can’t leave reddit. we have to compete for hearts and minds, we can’t just make our own little club here and forget where the masses are. lemmy is cool for memes that got banned from reddit and stuff, but we can’t simply abandon the mainstream social media platforms.

posting is part of agitprop now, we can never stop posting. we will never stop posting.
