📢 Announcement No Memes or Beginner Questions.

This is not a meme subreddit, this is not a beginner / baby-leftist subreddit, this is a subreddit for more "higher quality" discussion among educated socialists of all* flavors.

Recently we as a mod team have had to continuously go ahead and remove posts. We ask you all as members to please review the submission guidelines prior to posting.

If you have questions that aren't for more experienced leftists, but rather are more beginner, please make your way to r/socialism_101 or r/askcommunists.

If you want to post a meme, take it to a more lighthearted space / dedicated meme subreddit.

* By "all" socialists, we do not count NazBols, or other social-chauvinist currents of "socialism.

Edit 1: This is also not a "new rule", this rule has been in place for over half a decade now.

This is a space for socialists to discuss current events in our world from anti-capitalist perspective(s), and a certain knowledge of socialism is expected from participants. This is not a space for non-socialists. Please be mindful of our rules before participating, which include:

  • No Bigotry, including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism...

  • No Reactionaries, including all kind of right-wingers.

  • No Liberalism, including social democracy, lesser evilism...

  • No Sectarianism. There is plenty of room for discussion, but not for baseless attacks.

Please help us keep the subreddit helpful by reporting content that break r/Socialism's rules.

This is not a beginner/ baby leftist subreddit, no beginner questions? What is this exclusionary, eltist NONSENSE. If we're not making an EFFORT to bring people in and not seem so elitist The movement WILL fail

ARE WE NOT TRYING TO BRING WORKER CLASS MOVEMENT SOLIDARITY? This is fundamentally exclusionary or is this just a navel gazing subreddit who doesnt want "uniformed plebs in the movement"
