Reminder: This is not a communist subreddit

DanglyW · 2日前

So, again, this is not a sub to discuss economic theory. Take your slap fights regarding economic theory elsewhere. I'm locking this thread for now, and you can all resume these conversations in subs more appropriate for arguing the pros/cons of different economic schools of thought elsewhere.

EDIT: OH lawd this is still going on. To be clear - we are not a sub for discussing economic theory. If you want to discuss economic theory, continue doing so in the various subs dedicated to it.

And you know what especially won't fly? Calls to violence, against anyone. Period. End of fucking discussion. Post a call to violence in this sub, you will get banned, and I don't care who you call an ally.

obligatory plug for /r/enoughcommiespam

Why would you plug a subreddit that routinely gets linked to /r/badpolitics for constantly being bad at politics?

This "friendly advice" is somewhat hollow coming from you.

There is no such thing as a peaceful ideology. Tolerating bigotry is no different than promoting bigotry.

Edit 2: So after getting removed and replaced the sticky post no longer plugs his commie-hating subreddit but does now contain this little gem:

you need to keep your communist rhetoric out of the sub.

Care to elaborate on that, commie hater? Is there any sort of socialist rhetoric allowed here or is it only calls to violence that you're cracking down on?

Edit 4: So as of now this sticky is hovering at ~50% upvotes with over 400 votes in total. I think it's safe to say that a good portion of this sub's users:

Have a problem with this new policy.
Require detailed clarification of just what "keep your communist rhetoric out of the sub" actually means in this context.

Are we going to be banned for espousing communist points of view? Are our perspectives no longer welcome here if they are overtly socialist? At what point does this new policy become a satire? (Ok that last one is obviously not serious but hopefully goes some way towards communicating my utter incredulity at the content of the sticky.)

[Original Comment] Wow, way to plug your trash subreddit in a completely contrived and pathetically self-interested fashion.

What a terrible waste of a sticky. I had such a deep respect for this sub and the way it was moderated.

HAD.

Edit: I feel I have to point out that equating hatred of minorities with hatred of fascists is fucking ridiculous. Nobody chooses to be trans, a POC, disabled or anything else like that. Every fascist makes a choice every day to be what they are, to believe the foul things that fill their minds. This false equivalency is a massive black hole in the liberal mindset, sort it the fuck out.

[Edit 3] Sometimes I can't spell.

What the hell is "communist rhetoric" supposed to mean? Should we not discuss the class antagonisms related to hateful subreddits? Is liberal ideology the only acceptable lens through which we analyze them?

I had no clue "bash the fash" was a call to violence, any more than a political defeat was a defeat in combat. I thought it was more of a rallying call against fascism rather than a call to physically attack those vile people. I've never used it, though I will not deny I have upvoted it.

That being said, I think we could do with some leftist political discussion (though not as the sub's main purpose; that will always be to be against subreddits for hate) given that the vast majority of subreddits we look at are far-right. I may not agree with revolutionary or any communism as an ideology (sweats nervously) but hey, they could help keep the Alt-Right hordes from invading the sub.

If you have any questions or concern leave them in the thread

Why would you say that if you're just deleting comments as soon as they're posted?

Is Socialist subreddit, comrade?

Thank you!

It's absurd that people come here posting about the violent, hateful content on the site, while themselves pushing violent, hateful rhetoric.

I have a thing to say about this. Feel free to downvote me to hell. I am a frequenter in this subreddit and love this community. I also am leftist, I have socialist sentiments. But I was always irritated by "bash the fash" rhetoric. Once I said that "you debate ideas, not smash them" replying to a comment saying "you smash fascism, don't debate it" and was downvoted to hell. I was repeatedly told by this community that fascism manifests killing other ideologies, and therefore you cannot debate with it and it deserves only to be smashed. I pointed out that this is such an arbitrary distinction. You either have freedom of speech -- in which case fascists have their rights to state whatever asshole opinion they have -- or you don't have freedom of speech -- in which case almost every single opinion will have some tendency to kill other opinions. This is simply hate against hate. Neither it is our purpose to spread hatred against fascism, nor is this a useful strategy to fight against fascism.

Anyway, after that incident I never brought that up again, but today, seeing this thread makes me very happy. I think it's better for our community to be more neutral in this way. I see that some of you are unhappy but consider that this sub has a very important mission to criticize reddit's rhetoric for being hateful. We should not be "that communist sub" but be the sub where people discuss reddit's rhetoric.

I like how the commies are proving your point perfectly

Simple Questions	Simple Answers
What is this subreddit?	This subreddit is a place to both mock and refute the ideas of subreddits that exist solely to propagate bigotry towards a certain race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and the like. A fuller definition of both hate subreddits and our purpose, as well as a list of notable hate groups on Reddit, can be found here. More information about our purpose can be found in our FAQ. Troll subreddits and subreddits whose purpose is not explicit hatred will not be considered hate subreddits and links to both will be removed.
Why are you doing this?	Part of our mission is to get moderators to step up, because it is ultimately them who decide if their community is going to be a hate community or not. If this has no hope of happening, as is often the case with smaller subs, we want to pressure the admins to act. Obviously they aren't going to quarantine or ban a default sub and since it's not our primary goal anyways, we regularly make an exception for defaults, when hateful comments are up-voted and left there by the mods.
What if I'm banned?	Modmail us if you're banned and you believe the ban was unjustified. Please do remember that hurling slurs at the moderators will not improve your chances of getting unbanned. Spamming mod mail is not a good way to get on our good side.
What if I'm from a hate subreddit?	People from hate subreddits can post here, but there are enforced limitations on what you are allowed do in such a case. See here for more information. Be civil.

Simple Rules	Those Rules Explained
Follow the Reddit rules, NP links	We enforce the global Reddit rules here in AHS; any doxxing or spamming in particular will be met with immediate ban. Given that brigading is against the rules of Reddit, we enforce NP for all links to other places on Reddit, and additionally, if you are found to be commenting in a linked post after it was made, you will be banned from further participation in this sub. Non-NP Reddit links will be automatically removed. To NP a link, simply change the "www" to "np" (http://www.reddit.com to http://np.reddit.com) It goes without saying that calls to violence or doxxing will not be tolerated.
No slurs	Racial, ethnic, religious, transphobic, homophobic, misogynist, and other slurs will not be accepted - because we automatically remove them, we recommend that you avoid direct quoting of slurs. Depending on the context and severity, users throwing around slurs will be met with a ban or a warning.
No deleting comments	Seriously. It's embarrassing to lose an argument, but deleting comments in a conversation serves nothing but giving you a free one-way ticket to being banned indefinitely.
No ban evasion	This will lead to your alt being banned, and to you being reported to the admins. Ban evasion is a shadowban-worthy violation of the Reddit rules.
No calls to violence	Seriously, none. This is strictly enforced. Strictly. We aren't kidding.
No shitposting	This is purely subjective. No slap fights. We may choose to warn you. We may not.
