This is truly atrocious behavior.

The above is the Twitter link with the person who is complaining about it.

I know that /r/communism has been run by Maoist mods for a long time, and I know that u/smokeuptheweed has absolute bonkers takes.

I wish we had an alternative to /r/communism on Reddit, but I guess we have to grow that here.

This may not even be Maoist moderators. A comment like that is little too obviously horrible. What I think happened is that fascists have appropriated a political sub-Reddit in order to smear that political movement. Something similar happened to the "/r/Feminism" sub-Reddit. I suspect Reddit's CEO Jack Dorsey, who is a racist and fascist, deliberately hands control of any sub-Reddit he hates over to provocateur moderators.

Or maybe this just always ends up happening to leftist sub-Reddits for some other reason.

Seems like it.

r/communism and r/communism_101 are overrun with Gonzaloite ultraleftists. Ever since Reddit banned r/Chapotraphouse, r/GenZedong, etc, and the mod teams of r/communism and r/communism_101 replaced with glorified terrorist supporters, they have been consistently reactionary.

Lemmygrad.ml, Lemmy.ml, Hexbear.net, etc have recieved the bulk of the redditors impacted by the major Reddit bans and subreddit bans.

Marxism that does not support the neurodiverse is deeply reactionary, just like Patriotic Socialism that erases the struggle against imperialism.

Yeah, jokers to our right deviationism and clowns to our left deviationism.
