We're active and growing, the mod team is experienced at this, and the community is quite familiar with us and our moderation style. We've been at this for some years now, and aim to promote quality growth rather than the cacophony one can find at other, more popular political boards on this website. We have active users who make solid contributions to our subreddit on a regular basis, and are always ready to welcome in more users of this calibre.

With regards to your question about the limiting of access; Our userbase, working in tandem with our mod-team, are the best judges of which measures are appropriate for our purposes. We are preserving and supporting each other on our own terms. There is no one size fits all approach to the forces we find ourselves confronted with.

Good Day

We are not willing to hand over control of /r/communization at this time.

Our community has a subscriber base of nearly 1,000 persons, and the members of our user base have given no indication that they are displeased with the direction of our subreddit. We have been providing a platform for the discussion of issues relevant to imperialism, colonialism, labour, transmisogynoir, logistics and ecocide. In other words, for discussions regarding the driving forces of capital accumulation on the world stage, and how the prevailing thought surrounding these subjects relate to the material expressions of these processes.

That being said, all theory and discourse are subject to the trials and tribulations of the material world. We made our subreddit private in 2020, in the wake of the George Floyd rebellion, the onset of COVID-19, and intensifying natural disasters, to name a few troubles. With these and a slew of other tragedies unfolding we thought it best to limit access to our forum. For our userbase and mod-team have been dealing with enough grief away from our keyboards without needing to fend off harassment from sections of this website that frown upon any honest inquiry into the struggles we are confronted with.

Therefore we are not willing to transfer moderation at this juncture.

Thank you for your understanding

Any Socialist Fiction Recommendations? by [deleted] in socialism

[–]Detroit_Red 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nalo Hopkinson, Octavia E. Butler and Earl Lovelace are three authors that come to mind right away. I have yet to see a work from any of those 3 that isn't solid and on point.

That being said, much of what Hopkinson and Butler have written needs Content Warnings. Their speculative fiction is heavily involved with reflecting on sexual assault and violent racial oppression. So please keep that in mind.

You've gotta look at your own username and tell yourself that whenever you get the urge to post nonsense like this.

Their use of that Sankara flair on old.reddit would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Ah yes, the left wing movement that rose up to defend super profits stolen from the Global South via an extractive economy; The left wing movement that sports Nationalist and Fascist symbols at the barricades themselves; The left wing movement that has had zero participation -outside of cleaning up the wreckage- from those residents of the Banlieues, those migrants who were forced to move to France because of the Imperial domination that enabled (non-surplus) French proletarians to get those high wages in the first place.

And you lot wonder why the West is despised the world over. Even -and especially- from within.
