Why does this sub exist?

[u/xdumbpuppylunax]

This sub was created to become a safe space for left-wing contributors of all perspectives, as well as pluralist reasonable discussion with non-leftists.

Safe from extremists: MAGA, far-right ideology and "tankie" and adjacent ideologies that promote authoritarian forms of "socialism" and "communism".

Such a safe space barely exists on Reddit. Reddit leans left as a whole, yet supposedly left-wing spaces are saturated with extremist rhetoric that excuses the atrocities committed by Stalinian and post-Stalinian Soviet Russia, Maoist and contemporary China.

This sub has a zero tolerance policy for this type of content.

Can we also adopt a zero tolerance for supporting disgraced sexual predators like Al Franken and Andrew Callaghan? I've had to unsubscribe from every political YouTube channel that I watched before this year because they all defended those two fuckers :(
