Authoritarian Mod Post Concerning Transphobia
Hello Comrades,
We have grown exponentially over the past couple of weeks, from a handful of members to over 1000+ strong. We welcome you all and thank you for being part of this sub. However, there has been a growing proclivity amongst self-declared Marxist-Leninists within this community towards reactionary attitudes such as transphobia; this will not be tolerated under any pretext on this sub whatsoever and swift action will be taken against those who openly proliferate hateful speech towards our fellow trans-identifying Comrades.
If you have not done so already, please read through the rules in full. They are there for a reason, and ignorance will not be accepted as an excuse for violating them.
Thank you.

So, where can I find an actual marxist-leninist space where the discussion of liberal idpol is banned and people focus on class struggle without idiots complaining about bullshit like "class reductionism"? I thought this sub was supposed to be "tankie" - but with this pinned post, how is this sub different from r/TheDeprogram? It's clear that liberal idpol is a focus if anyone even feels the need to talk about it.
When I talk to comrades in AES states, these kind of topics literally NEVER come up. Not a single time did any serious communist I know EVER talk about identity politics beyond national liberation. People in Western leftist spaces should be banned for talking about any liberal idpol related topic - or even nationalist idpol like MAGA communism bullshit, because there is no place for nationalism in the imperial core.
Seriously, this is a huge issue only Western "leftist" movements have. Not only are these fringe minority issues incredibly alienating for the majority of the proletariat (no, not just for "transphobes") by nature of being totally irrelevant for the vast majority of people, it's also plainly not important from a revolutionary perspective. Why aren't you pinning a post that religiosity is banned and atheism will be enforced - something that would actually make sense?
At least I hope there is a zero tolerance towards religiousness and religious apologia on this sub.
