    I'll take a wild stab and assume that the "aggressively homogeneous culture" they're referring to is China, with their 56 ethnicities who are all officially recognized and protected under the law. If that's not aggressive homogeneity, I don't know what is!

    How many native americans can go to school and be taught in their own language again? Oh that doesnt happen? Oh they actually have to take "normal" names so their teachers won't get embarrassed by getting them wrong? Oh. Okay.

      Probably but this is also a bit telling:

      the CORRECT aggressively homogeneous cultures.

      It's subtly framing anything outside of liberal democracy as homogenous and alluding to the same bullshit about homogenous society chuds use to discredit social democracy (as opposed to leftists critiques of social democracy)

      In conclusion that sub is full of fascists trying to radicalize libs by leveraging the subs rabid anti-communism

      Yes I know that describes almost all of :reddit-logo:

    to bully (especially for tankies) and to make outrage (for the fashys)

    "Tankies are bigger bullies than fascists, fascists just want to piss people off, btw I'm definitely not a fascist UwU."

      These people boast about how they'd rather work with fascists than "tankies", liberals than "authoritarians", NATO than China etc. but always come crying back when they get exactly what's coming to them after said fascists run them out of their circles for being slightly too progressive (or dark-skinned)(or queer)

      It's part of the reason why in person I just call myself a communist. We should just normalize that, discussing various forms of communism with American liberals is entirely pointless (unless you've already cultivated some sort of political discourse and find it productive).

        HOLY SHIT SHIT LMAO. That is fucking wild, "The Soviets were wrong for defending themselves against Nazis because murder is authoritarian" is not the take I expected but here we are.

        I will say some of those comments are pretty cringe though for GenZedong and a couple of them demonstrate a clear lack of understanding of anarchism.

        Extremely online teenagers need to read more and aesthetic less (and that isn't directed at any one tendency in particular).

          I think the reason anarchism is so toxicly liberal online is because it's really easy to call yourself an anarchist when your deepest political theory is listening to the Dead Kennedys. God knows half the kids I went to highschool with called themselves anarchists and talked about how much they loved the Democrats.

      I'd ask but I would probably get banned. One of my favorite comments is this one though:

      Venothyl · 5h Ancom

      well good thing i'm not edgy

      though being a teen probably doesn't help this sub's reputation :/

      Someone should post a poll like the screenshot from the :funny-clown-hammer: sub asking how many books on communism/anarchism they've read.

        there was a "former tankies" subreddit (which i can't seem to find right now) and someone made a post asking what made them a "tankie" and which books they had read. every singles answer said that they were radicalized by memes and that "they don't have time to read books". definitely sounded like they were very serious Marxists.

          conservatives who join thinking it’s anti liberal

          Wish we got more of these, must be our militant support for LGBTQ people and open hatred for fascists that prevents that from happening. Definitely something I kinda miss from the old sub, the best we get now are tragically transparent and inept wreckers and chuds that just spam bigoted copypastas

            Few know this site even exists. On reddit you could discover subreddits a variety of ways, but you can't do that here. You have to seek it out specifically. Moreover it's very easy to break one of the multitude of rules so when new users stumble over one and get banned, they don't bother coming back.

    you know, these types are always saying being a communist means you're an edgy 14 year old

    So what, you're obsessed with the opinions of teenagers? Just disregard us completely and move on lol

    homogeneous culture

    the most offensive thing to a rainbow coated free thinking market subject: "Neoliberalism reflects the tenets of classical liberalism (the self-interested individual and free market, laissez-faire economics) but is characterized by intense individualism, consumer sovereignty, freedom and choice"

    "antifascist work"

    "I'm doing the work" the most pseud leftist meme I ever heard lmao

    unleash offensive statements

    idealists mad
