Here are the things that get you banned: -saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad account -tankie behaviour -nazi behaviour -authoritarian behaviour -genocide denial -prejudice of any kind -anything else that is clearly bad

Things that get your post/comment removed: -anything in the banlist -posts that are so off topic/moldy that they don’t fit on 196 at all (very rare, not usually enforced)

Ban length varies, and is mostly based off of whether or not I think you will change your behavior. I have baned certain people for upwards of 200 days.

Please leave any suggested edits in the comments.

    Thinking communism is a good system and sucking of dictators is a bit of a difference isn’t it lol.

    I literally today saw a post celebrating and congratulating Xi for being a leader for so long, you know, while forcing that no one else could take power.

    Also associating communism with authoritarianism is very saying.

    I can see I was right to be skeptical. “I love communism; just not in any of the ways that it has ever historically or presently succeeded.”

      Communism has never been implemented. We had “really existing socialism” which then drifted off into state-capitalist tyranny, capitalist tyranny, or straight tyranny. Cuba and Vietnam fare better, they’re drifting towards democratic socialism.

      No, i don’t consider it succeeding if there’s a dictator in power. Is that a hot take? Again, I’m fairly anti-capitalist too. I am also anti-authoritarian, and thus also against dictators. Hence i do not consider Xi’s CCP
      Successful.

      Edit: what barsoap said is also true. China utilizes a capitalist system as economy. Do you really think those factory workers own their factory themselves? If so, how are there so many Chinese billionaires? Billionaires shouldn’t exist in a communist society.
