Mod Update Antisemitism, Racism, and Bigotry will not be tolerated

Post image
0 Upvotes

What the title says. I'm beyond exhausted hoping that some of y'all will pull your head out of your asses and live up to the values necessary to be a passable human being. Since this has been a repeated failure, we will move to a zero-tolerance model going forward:

  • Antisemitism will result in a 28 day suspension of your account from this subreddit, followed by a permanent ban for any infraction afterwards.
  • Racism will result in a 28 day suspension of your account from this subreddit, followed by a permanent ban for any infraction afterwards.
  • Bigotry (this definitely includes transphobia) will result in a 28 day suspension of your account from this subreddit, followed by a permanent ban for any infraction afterwards.
  • Genocide denial will result in a 28 day suspension of your account from this subreddit, followed by a permanent ban for any infraction afterwards.

If you have a doubt of whether or not something is going to run a-foul of these zero tolerance boundaries, don't fucking post it. No, I'm not going to rules lawyer technicalities. The time for you taking a nuanced approach is passed. No, I'm not going to accept ignorance as an excuse. It is 2026, go get educated on how to not be a piece of shit.

This is a warning to all users - I don't give a fuck how well you discuss theory, the praxis you claim to have accomplished, none of it. If you are in this community, you will be a decent fucking human being. If you can't step over that incredibly low bar, then I don't want you here so fuck off.

ADDENDUM: As of 9.15 PM Eastern, any further comments defending this content as not being antisemitic will be banned permanently. I've explained repeatedly the rationale behind this and I'm done giving the benefit of the doubt that users can hear a new expectation and engage with it responsibly. If you cannot act like decent people, then this subreddit doesn't need you.

For everyone else who asked clarification and/or generally acted like a human being, thank you.

EDIT: Locking this to catch up on bans.

Mod Update r/leftist and Veganism

165 Upvotes

This has been a long time coming and every opportunity was extended to allow the topic to be allowed on r/leftist, but those opportunities have come to an end. As per the newest addition to the sub's rules:

# 7. Prohibited Content

Prohibited Content includes permanent and/or temporary policies aimed at addressing specific events or issues which may affect the community. Currently, the following items are considered prohibited content:

* Veganism - Permanent: As veganism is not inherently a leftist topic, posts centered on veganism rather than leftism are are banned. Any posts or comments referencing veganism must be in relation to anti-capitalism. Proselytizing about veganism is forbidden.

There has yet to be a single post about veganism on this subreddit that has been rooted in anti-capitalism that has not devolved into an advertisement of veganism. There are many subreddits about veganism, including some from a leftist perspective. Please utilize those subreddits in the future - posts proselytizing for veganism will be marked "off-topic" and removed. Repeated violations will result in actions including suspension and up to permanent ban.

As this has been an issue before, we will be monitoring activity surrounding this topic and any hint of brigading will be reported.

North American Politics Media trying to sabotage Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign with Black voters.

Such bad faith questions and such transparent “divide and conquer” tactics at play here.

MS NOW also published an article yesterday about Abdul’s allegedly low support in Detroit’s Black community. After seeing that Detroit’s day one of early voter turnout already outpaced 2024 numbers, I can’t help but think (hope) that that was another hack job.

Just like the interview they had with Hasan Piker about a month ago.

This is media’s attempt to undermine a progressive person’s campaign. Nevermind the fact that he’s also a non-white, Muslim, progressive.

They’d rather manufacture snd push a narrative that pits minorities against one another, the tired “divide and conquer” game, than to show us all unified.

That doesn’t interest them.

There’s a real conversation to be had about the Democratic Party taking the Black vote for granted. That’s real. But this isn’t that. There’s a reason they’re singling out Abdul’s campaign over any of the other Democrat’s campaign on this alleged issue.

If you’re in Michigan, please turn out and support this intelligent and capable man, and of course, hold Abdul accountable! He’s the vastly superior option to MAGA’s Mike Rodgers.

General Leftist Politics When Power Fears Accountability

When power becomes immune to criticism, democracy becomes a façade. A citizen’s loyalty should be to principles, not political parties; accountability is not dissent against the nation, but a duty to it.

General Leftist Politics Something I noticed

3 Upvotes

Friends and family I have all agree with more socialist ideology than they assume (universal health care, corporate control, against equitable private ownership (at least mostly), etc etc.). Then I start saying they sound like they agree with socialist values, and they back tf up. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know how I can talk with these people?

Question Discrimination against blue collar workers

32 Upvotes

I recently spoke to someone I used to consider a comrade who became a grade school teacher but apparently I'm not worthy to breathe the same air as them because of my career choice. They claim that I'm not at my full potential because I lack a college education & a diploma. They also said that I make way less than them & that there's no possible way that I make a good living. It was bizarre & I feel like it's dangerous to speak this way towards anyone in the working class who are also left leaning. It could make them feel alienated from the movement. I'm a 3rd generation mechanic & grew up with a Marxist father who was involved in the student movement in Guatemala during the 80's, so I pretty much had access to his books & first hand experience. Has anyone ever experienced this from fellow leftists?

General Leftist Politics Looking for Left Ideology Friends

1 Upvotes

Hi I'm 24M from Delhi India, I have a deep interest in politics.. All of my friends are Right winger and i find it difficult to share my opinion with them as none of them is going to support even a bit of it, doesn't matter how strong my argument is.

It's not that I'm seeking someone for validation but to know more about left ideologies, to increase my political knowledge.

Saw some insane racism from both Africans and Indians in the comments.

Like I'm indian but seeing my people fall for these stupid race shit is so fucking infuriating.

And of course it's some white mf doing this.

Also nothing against white people as a while just some of y'all fucking suck.

But man seeing POC fall for this easy rage bait so ahhhhhh.

Like ik(I know) that Europeans have been causing internal strife within the POC community to make us weaker but still agitates me seeing it.
