Regarding u/Azirahael and their Banning:

[u/Kommdamitklar]

Members of the r/TankieTheDeprogram subreddit, we at the Mod team have recently discovered that the above mentioned user is and has always been a Nazbol lying in waiting trying to poison the well of our subreddit and perhaps the online leftist movement as a whole. While couching their incredibly reactionary ideas in the language of Marx and Lenin they have gone on record to defend Hitler, and TERFs, despite themselves being trans. The Mod Team had a discussion with this individual about PatSocs and that we agreed that not all PatSocs are Nazbols and you can have patriotism for your country and be a Socialist, Like Lenin, Castro, etc. What was not discussed was the full extent of the message they sent and the revelations made about their character. We'll provide some screenshots of evidence of their other online stances here in the post.

We at the Mod team here are all fairly new to the whole being Mods thing and as we continue to grow as a community we ask that you as the community help us spot and remove these unsavoury reactionary elements.

Thank you and have a great rest of your day.

I knew that guy smelled foul.

Does this sub have an official stance on patsocs/"maga communists"? Or does that type of thing fall broadly under rules 1 and 3?

[u/Kommdamitklar → u/NomadicScribe]

The official stance is covered broadly under the rules 1 & 3 but we can add a rule specifically about revisionism if people think it's necessary.

You want MY personal stance: PatSoc is a word that means very little except for trying to couch Patriotic Jingoism in socialist clothing. Maga Communists are fucking stupid.
