How are we going to influence, educate, and persuade bigots and libs if we start banning everyone? Would we prefer they turn to the fascist pipeline on reddit?

It’s a tricky prospect, trying to balance hate speech and distinguishing it from someone simply expressing bad thoughts.

I guess I’m someone who came with a lot of poor, preconceived notions, and it took some time, patience, and radicalizing to arrive where I am today.

I’ve had some pretty awful takes over the years and said insensitive things, but it’s other comrades who turned me on to better ideas.

Being banned from r/communism for not having been born a fully realized Marxist-Leninist is pretty much a chapo tradition lol

You have been banned from r/Communism for supporting Lenin in an obscure Lenin-Stalin argument from 1923.

I’m not sure, but I was banned by a bot for having previously commented in Bernie subs. From what I’ve seen, the bot bans you instantly upon your first post if you’ve ever posted in non-ML leftist subs.

Before that they were banning people for saying “dumb”, before that it was catgirls.
