    Their comments were the same but their situation was different, reddit did absolutely everything it could to be nice to them and to try and keep them. Reddit has done absolutely nothing to try and build a positive relationship with the left.

    If the entire population of /r/genzedong moved to /r/socialism with almost no change in moderation, /r/socialism would also be killed off by reddit because it would become an immediate threat to the status quo with its high activity level and the quality of the arguments put forwards.

    None of this has anything to do with moderation choices. It is a political repression. T_D on the other hand had a belligerent modteam that was uninterested in reining in some of the problems that existed. It wasn’t politically repressed in the same way, Spez is far right and I suspect a majority of the techbros in reddit are psychotic libertarian ancap age-of-consent types.

    They’ve never done that. We can see the contrary when Hitler banned all parties except the nazi party. Same jn italy. We can even see this in Ukraine where Zelensky is banning opposition parties. So this is ahistorical nonsense you are spouting.

    My bad for not answering the question I was just so caught off guard by that idiotic statement of yours my friend. The goal isn’t to reestablish faith in this system. Its just to buy time to fight against the inevitable. Nowhere did I say to validate the system. You are putting words in my mouth.

    Telling people to defend liberal democracy is a bad thing when the goal is actual democracy. Why would you instill faith in bourgeois elections when we know that cannot and will not improve the lives of anyone, but the ones at the top? Liberals and fascists defend liberal democracy, we’re supposed to challenge it and show why it’s bullshit with a solution.

    Telling people to defend liberal democracy isn’t a bad thing. Is fascism an inevitability for the American people? Yes, as certain as the sun rising tomorrow. But telling people to defend lib democracy will buy time for communist, union organizers, and other groups of the oppressed to organize. Build the proper institutions to counter act this threat.

    Reddit wants a controlled opposition. Eliminate everyone that is a real threat to the status quo and maintain the illusion of an opposition and “debate” by allowing the non-threats.

    Any uncontrolled opposition is eliminated when it reaches a size or state of being that makes it a threat to those maintaining the current status quo.

    Archive everything on GenZhou because despite it being completely and totally 100% fine as a community it may be hit if Genzedong is banned, much like every single subreddit under the “chapo” banner or even remotely related to it got killed.

    If GenZhou is included it is the strongest sign that it has nothing to do with rules and everything to do with simply purging oppositional threats.
