About /r/FULLCOMMUNISM (self.socialism)

GohteRed Flag が 投稿

For those who care, just getting my word out while I have time between classes.

A few weeks ago we added ComIntelligence to the mod team at I believe FreakingTea's request. We all liked him so we said sure, why not.

As part of an effort to clean up bullshit and shitposts, we started talking some in mod mail about setting quality standards and obviously there was a public effort to define what the subreddit was supposed to be about. Throughout my time as mod I had worked to build it around the idea of a general chill out hub for socialists on Reddit to get away from the bullshit. Tendency didn't matter as long as they were socialists. It contributed to the shitpost problem because the atmosphere was pretty relaxed, but it was generally working and helped build the community that we loved.

About a week or so ago, ComIntel started getting active, being really harsh on bans even for my standards. In response to questions in mod mail, he was talking as if he was LARPing some NKVD officer, in other words taking shit way too seriously. He would ban active and well liked users, even going so far as to ban a user for talking shit about Boris fucking Yeltsin under FT's new adaptation of the motherland rule.

The other mods were upset, including me, because FreakingTea was talking about banning users just for not being ML(M). After another well liked member was banned and virtually everyone wanted the two overzealous mods to calm the fuck down, we were all demodded and I know I was banned.

Tl;dr freakingtea and comintel are turning FULLCOMMUNISM into shit. I'm salty so you should stop going there.

I haven't been active lately, but I'm the founder of /r/FULLCOMMUNISM. I want to fix this. Help me make it right, because I enjoyed the direction the sub was taking.

EDIT: I have an essay to complete for class. For the time being, I am now the only moderator of /r/FULLCOMMUNISM. I intend on posting a standalone thread on this issue later tonight. Be at peace, comrades.

[–]lovelybone93Castro 77ポイント78ポイント  (19子コメント)

Please remove Tea along with ComIntelligence, reinstate the mods removed and have some more chill comrades modding.

Even if you are, who the fuck cares? As it was stated above "regardless of tendency".

[–]lovelybone93Castro 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yeah, but FreakingTea and ComIntelligence thought they were the reincarnations of Stalin and Yezhov respectively and tried LARPing on FULLCOMMUNISM. IDK, hopefully StarkRicochet isn't too occupied with things.

[–]patkasperLibertarian Socialism 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I gathered that much from the other comments. These are the type of dudes we definitely don't want in power, even as fellow comrades.

If you're going to abuse such infinitesimal mod powers, you're going to abuse people with more power.

    The founder of fullcommunism is a democratic socialist? That's pretty amusing given most of that sub's hatred of the ideology.

    [–]TreyJ 4ポイント5ポイント  (3子コメント)

    I'm pretty sure most of the hate is directed towards Social democracy, which is capitalism with a band-aid on it. This is what Bernie Sanders is. Democratic socialism is just democratic socialism.

    [–]TerantQExtremely disorderly cynical human being 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Socialism is democratic socialism. "Democratic socialism" as an ideology is capturing the state to achieve a socialist society through the use of liberal parliaments/congresses.

    [–]TreyJ 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Ah, thanks for clearing that up. Still though, democratic socialists actually want socialism, unlike social democrats.

    [–]TerantQExtremely disorderly cynical human being 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Yeah, that's correct. However it has to get more confusing because, at least in America, the majority of those who call themselves democratic socialists publicly (The Democratic Socialists of America, Bernie Sanders, etc.) are all actually social democrats.

    Bjorn was just turning the circlejerk up to 11. When I saw what he was doing, I was about to send him a PM like "WTF are you doing yo?" but then it dawned on me.

    [–]NicolasBroaddusTrot-United Left 5ポイント6ポイント  (5子コメント)

    It was still hurtful to those who were banned. This whole fiasco kicked off with one of the "temporarily" banned members asking what was going on.

    There are better ways to make a point, ones that don't involve innocent bystanders.

    [–]Triplanetary 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

    This whole fiasco kicked off with one of the "temporarily" banned members asking what was going on.

    No, the fiasco kicked off with lovelybone93's ban, which was not done by Bjorn, and was not intended to be temporary. The rest of us mods stood up for lovelybone because lovelybone is a damn good comrade.

    Look, I was just demodded and banned from FULLCOMMUNISM and even I wasn't that upset about it. The circlejerk giveth and the circlejerk taketh away.

    [–]BjornIronsideGulags are for liberals 8ポイント9ポイント  (3子コメント)

    I only banned abisiden after I knew we were going to get removed. I didnt want it to be a silent purge so I made it loud by banning a power user for breaking the new rules. Dont get me wrong, according to the new rules FT created, my ban was entirely legitimate.

    [–]Marxism_MemeismEl Che 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

      Really? That's shitty. I'm pretty active in SandersForPresident not because I think what he's proposing is really socialism but because he's as left as mainstream discourse in the US has been in a century.

        The worst part about this is that the sub was supposed to be a safe place for Comrades of all tendencies to post dank left wing maymays, and now it's become a prison of enforced restriction because the authoritarian values of the mods interfered with how they decided to run the sub.

        It was supposed to be a circlejerk for all, not a gated community for M-L, I'm an M-L and this move is just extreme authoritarianism getting in the way of what should be a Lefist, yet safe, circlejerk.

          It's been a really fun community, and I hope it stays that way

            You can disagree with something on certain points and still sympathize with it. I'm a Trot with strong Stalin sympathies, despite my disagreements with the man I still support a lot of what he and the USSR accomplished before his death. Nuanced views are a thing.

            [–]GohteRed Flag[S] 9ポイント10ポイント  (1子コメント)

            What did you expect? Freakingtea and Comintelligence are two of the biggest DPRK stooges around reddit. You really think they would be anything other than authoritarian megalomaniacs? Anyone who defends the degenerate Kim regime absolutely are closer to fascists leanings than anything socialist.

            I am glad the mods on here weren't stupid enough to make Comintel a mod here when there were modship openings.

              Sorry.

              I mean, technically, interpreting the new rules literally, I was correct in banning you.

              Not that I agree with the rules but hey.

              Sorry again.

              Agreed. Stalinists surprised that other Stalinists are acting like Stalinists is hilarious.

              The only thing that upsets me is that /r/fullcommunism was like daycare for Stalinists. Now that it has been fucked up there are children running all over my yard!

              I understand why /r/communism is modded and run the way that it is. I support it, actually, it has been a great sub at times. I just personally feel that running a circlejerk/joke sub with the same attitude as r/communism is stupid, and that seems to be the direction it is heading.

              I don't. There are branches of Communism other than Marxism-Leninism. I like /r/Communism but it could be a lot better.

              True, but the sub is one of the only safe spaces for MLs and MLMs to have discussion on the internet without being bombarded with distracting, ignorant questions. I think that sub's moderation policy is a great fit for what that sub is meant to be for.

              True, but the sub is one of the only safe spaces for MLs and MLMs to have discussion on the internet without being bombarded with distracting, ignorant questions.

              Banning quotes by Stalin on Trotsky in a thread talking about Trotsky's honesty, or quoting Trotsky on the Finnish invasion in a conversation about why the USSR invaded isn't just banning distracting and ignorant questions, it's suppressing material history in order to defend an ideology- the opposite of Marxism.

              [–]SheepwithShovels 22ポイント23ポイント  (2子コメント)

              I'm just saying that if MLs want a place to discuss ML stuff explicitly and not have to worry about "Stalin literally killed 400 billion people" comments, they can do that in /r/MarxismLenninism. I think /r/Communism should represent Communism as a whole.

              [–]pseudojewboyBolshevik-Leninist 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

              Yeah, that has been the most common complaint I've heard about /r/communism. Unfortunately, that's how reddit works, they got the name and they run it for a specific purpose, nothing anyone can do about it. Not that I think anything should be done, I've learned a ton from /r/communism and its users which is one of the reasons I'm currently upset about the events today. I thought we were all friends.

                I was looking at some older posts on /r/FULLCOMMUNISM lately and I'd noticed that a lot of people who seemed to be legit socialists had been since banned. I was going to ask about that, but I guess this answers my question for me.

                Hope this all gets resolved soon!

                It was taken as a break of the rule "never take not sides with the motherland". It's common among people, who don't know much about the matter. I know russian nationalists that like both Stalin and Nicholas II. they don't care about what these people stood for.

                [–]Triplanetary 8ポイント9ポイント  (5子コメント)

                Because ComIntelligence decided that the Motherland rule somehow extended to supporting a crony capitalist shit like Yeltsin.

                But it says taking sides against the motherland just refers to socialist states. Yeltsin never claimed to be socialist. I am so confused

                    As ridiculous as it sounds, this shows why we in the left are unable to get any real momentum. People identify as either Marxist-Leninist or Stalinist or Maoist or Trotskyist etc etc etc.. Then we all go into our own small groups of socialist/communists and stay by ourselves.

                    This surprises you? FreakingTea and ComIntelligence are some of the biggest idiots masquerading as Marxists on this website. Everything they touch turns to shit because they are incapable of receiving criticism or carrying on debate with proper tact.

                    I didn't realise that until today. I'd spoken with them personally at times and thought they were pretty chill, FT especially.

                    FT hasn't really said much throughout this whole thing and ComIntel has been pretending to be Yezhov this whole time so I have trouble taking him seriously with how he types. I can say I don't like either of them anymore though.

                    Couple of larpers. What I find hilarious is that FreakingTea (a supporter of the Chinese Communist Party, their revisionist line, and their "productive forces" theory) and ComIntelligence (a supporter of Juche, Songun, and all things DPRK) ban users and label them revisionists and counter-revolutionaries. The irony is stunning.
