In their first comment too. I mean I know Reddit is a cesspool and I know r/communism is Gonzalo Central, but damn, it’s infected far. I went back on the platform to promote my articles because despite the malding, it drives a lot of traffic lol. Otherwise I would never touch that website (though the TrueAnon subreddit loves them and it creates interesting discussions, I’m not gonna lump them in with the rest of Reddit like that).

I forced that person in a struggle session over their take and they moved the goalposts until they decided to disengage lol. But it’s okay, they know what they said.

    A large part of the reason I prefer discussions on Lemmy over Reddit is that people will actually engage with you rationally on this site. How is it enjoyable to engage with patronising people who only pretend to address your arguments? If a Lib wandered over to Lemmygrad they’d be told why they’re wrong instead of just being immediately banned by mods or told to formally fuck off or some shit.

    Geopolitics replaces class struggle with the struggle between nations, which is obviously reactionary to everyone who understands Marxism

    Who actually sits and types that nobody is allowed to analyze any relationship between nations or else they’re a fascist? That’s clearly class reductionism to me.
