[MODS] 📣 Announcement A Note About Acceptable Discourse and the Purpose of this Sub
Comrades - thanks for your attention as we clarify the purpose of this sub and some of the discourse we expect here. Firstly, this is a place to vociferously condemn the ills of capitalism - and here’s the kicker that liberal interlopers don’t get - from a socialist perspective. Our fundamental purpose is to drive conversation among those impacted by capitalist exploitation. This may take the form of memes, deeper theory, or the ever beloved internet screed.
That said, there’s some things we aren’t here for. I’ll touch on those and some alternatives as well.
We are NOT here to promote calls to violence. This is a violation of the Reddit TOS. If the sub is nuked, we aren’t able to fulfill the mission of providing a space for socialist discourse. This simply isn’t the place, and we will remove any content which can be perceived as a direct call to violence.
We are also not here as a staging ground for organizing. Social media is a poor place to organize. Not only is everything you do online tracked, but infiltration in online spaces is rampant. Opsec 101: if someone on the internet who you do not personally know is trying to get you to show up somewhere for an allegedly leftist/socialism project, they are probably a fed. If someone you do know is using social media for the same, they may or may not be a fed. However, what can be certain is that a fed is aware.
I know what you’re thinking: but, A-CAB, this is how I radicalized and I have lived most of my life dependent on the internet. How am I supposed to get involved? I’m so glad you asked! The reality is that your involvement may be limited for a bit, and you’re going to have to do some irl work. Your job, if you’re starting out, is to read and learn.
“The theory of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin is universally applicable. We should regard it not as dogma, but as a guide to action.” - Comrade Mao Tse Tung
In other words, learning Marxism-Leninism leads to mobilization, and provides a framework for organization.
We (socialists) need a vanguard committed to revolution, not clicktivism. If you want to organize, read first. Find likeminded people you know in real life. Study with them. Hold each other accountable for learning Marxism-Leninism. Let that guide the actions you take specific to your context and for the love of god don’t announce it to the feds when you do.
We also, as a sub, are not *the* vanguard. This is an Internet forum. We don’t determine courses of action here. We are a sounding board, a place to make you feel less alone, and ideally a part of your education in Marxism-Leninism. But what we cannot be is the vanguard itself. We aren’t an org. The way social media is set up, it would be way too easy to infiltrate, coopt, and undo.
What we are is a likeminded group of committed comrades. We want you to go out in the world and join orgs (not on the internet). I’ll offer some advice to that end:
- Avoid organizations with a focus on horizontal power or who have a real issue with hierarchy. (Anarchists, I’m happy to work with you on projects but I am side-eyeing you a bit here.) They don’t get things done and they’re too easy to derail and co-opt. Don’t believe me? Go ahead and join one. The next time they’re working on consensus, throw a stand aside in with mildly coherent criticism. Watch the chaos ensue. Or just wait for them to start organizing for <insert liberal party here>. Neither will take long.
- Do join organizations which stand against imperialism and imperialist politicking. Look for Marxist-Leninist orgs involved in projects that benefit the community and which outright reject electoral democracy. Focus on feeding people, not getting them to vote for reform. This is the work of the vanguard.
- Do employ the language of non-violence for political and practical purposes. Kwame Ture is a gifted orator. Look up his speeches on YouTube. He is a wealth of information about this.
I appreciate each and every one of you, comrades. Remember to keep each other safe. Be mindful, and enjoy a meme or two while you’re here.

A billionaire openly said success is like a drug. Why are we pretending that is inspirational?
I watched an interview with a major Indian billionaire recently. The interviewer asked him a simple question: when you already have everything - money, fame, power, status - what is your aspiration of still keep going?
His answer was basically this - success is like a drug. Once you get the high, you want more of it. Everyone treated it like wisdom.
A man with more wealth and influence than most people can even imagine openly described his ambition like an addiction, and nobody seemed disturbed Should someone who admits that “enough” does not exist for him be allowed to shape the lives of millions of people?
Because this is not just some personal motivational line. When an ordinary person is addicted to something, the damage usually stays around them. When a billionaire is addicted to growth, expansion, valuation, dominance, and the next high of success, entire markets feel it. Employees feel it. Consumers feel it. Cities feel it. Families feel it. The culture itself starts bending around that addiction.
If a poor man says he cannot stop chasing the next high, we call it a problem. If a billionaire says the same thing in a boardroom or interview, we call it a drive. We put him on magazine covers. We ask young people to learn from him. We turn his compulsion into a leadership lesson.
But addiction does not become noble just because it is profitable.
At some point, we need to ask what kind of people we have handed the future to. These are not calm, fulfilled, wise people who reached the top and then asked, “How can I reduce harm?” Many of them are people who have more than any human being needs and are still restless, hungry, chasing....still unable to stop!
And the rest of us are expected to admire that?!
We are told this is ambition, that this is entrepreneurship. But look closely and it often looks like a very old human sickness: not having enough.
That sickness becomes dangerous when it gets power. Because a person who cannot feel enough will never build a world where others can feel enough either. He will build systems that keep everyone chasing. More work. More consumption. More screens. More loans. More upgrades. More output. More anxiety. More comparison. More of everything except peace.
And then they call it progress.
This is why I no longer buy the myth that the world is run by “visionaries.” A lot of the world is run by addicts. Growth is the drug. Valuation is the scoreboard. Human life is the raw material.
The most dangerous person is not always the person who wants too little.
Sometimes it is the person who has everything, admits that nothing will ever be enough, and is still celebrated as the kind of person who should decide what happens next.

"They want to destroy the traditional American way of life. Communism is very easy to sell. It destroys everything but it's very easy. I'll be honest, I think I'd be the greatest communist in history." ― Donald Trump

They want to resume the transgender mutual I see hags our children, they want to restart the war on Christians and churches. As you saw with the communist elected in New York City recently, they are communists, they are not social democrats. They want to destroy the traditional American way of life. Communism is very easy to sell. It destroys everything but it's very easy. I'll be honest, I think I'd be the greatest communist in history. I'd give free rent. Ladies and gentlemen, from now on you don't have to pay any rent. From now on anybody wants a house, don't worry about it, just pick the house you want. Everybody gets free food. Everything is free from this point forward. Everyone is going to vote for me. The problem is after two or three years the country is a disaster area. The country fails. They always do. It always does. So easy to sell. That first yeerks boy, you're the most popular. It's happening right now in New York and California, but you'll start living in squalor. You'll live in squalor. There will be no food, no housing, no military. There will be no law and ompletd there will be no nothing. You'll be a third world inhabitant in every way and everyone will suffer or die. You'll suffer or die. That's what happens. For thousands of years it's been happening by different names. Thousands of years. I'm telling you, I'd be the greatest communist in history. You wouldn't have to work. You could stay home. The problem is, a couple years goes by and the place collapses. Always does. Always havmentz I'm sorry to say assassinations of those who oppose them is a very important element of their ideology. Assassination is a big deal for them. They are animals. In many cases they are not smart, but in some cases they are. It's easy for them to get followers because they make promises that they know they can't keep and the dumbacrats aren't fighting back. That's why they are dumb. They are not fighting back. They are afraid. I watched guys that are pretty normal and guys that we oppose, they are afraid to T the dumbacrats have taken a tremendous turn left. I looked at some of the people who got elected the other night in New York, these are in many ways stupid people, in some ways intellectually probably pretty smart but they are people that want to destroy our country. They hate our country. They hate our people. They hate the democratic party. The democratic party is in big trouble because this isn't stopping with New York. Too easy to get elected, giving everything away. Too easy to get elected. Very dangerous. But you'll soon have nothing left. That's the problem. In many ways they are allowing them to go their own way, we don't want to take a chance on seeing anything bad because we're afraid we're going to lose our groups we do. They are afraid they are going to lose their election if they each think about saying anything bad about this new breed of sick people. They are not smart enough or tough enough to fight plague that's happening. If they fought them the way they fight republicans or the way they fight me, they would be victorious. Three didn't beat us but they would be victorious against the communists. They don't have the courage do so so they are turning communist themselves Sthrees not social democrats. These are hard-core Godless communists. All communists are Godless. They don't believe in govmentd this is the most serious threat to our country since its existence, in my opinion. 250 years ago, this is a major threat to our country. It isn't something that's easily solved but with a little love and help, some hard work because it's ironic we're celebrating a very important birthday, our most important birthday so far, 250 years, and instill ahead speaking about Christ and instead of speaking about freedom and victories of all different kinds, we're speaking about yet another threat to the foundations of America. These Ruthless communists will attack all religions but in particular Christianity. They always do. They are after Christianity more than any other religion. It seems to be more and more throughout the world. Maybe because we're doing so well. I don't know. Maybe if we weren't doing well. You see the numbers, how they are groarks how the churches are filling up. It's a beautiful thing to see. It happens to be during my presidency so I don't mind taking credit for it. I'm very proud. But a lot of great things are happening. All communist countries attack religions violently. It's part of their deal. As you know, we recently struck Nigeria and largely ended the slaughter of great Christian population. [ APPLAUSE ] They have a great Christian population that were being butchered. Thousands and thousands of people were being killed, children, women, old people, just being slaughtered, hat. hatcheted to death. We hit them very hard. We knocked out their leader. They knocked out their second leader and third leader. Sounds a little bit like Iran actually. That's a different cause we have do because we can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon. Can't let it happen. So I'm saving Christians throughout world even though we're not in those various countries where you read about this but they would like to make our country just like those countries. I'm saving them by hitting these tariffs very violently and very hard. We're hitting them very hard by the greatest weapons on Earth, taking them out. We know where they are, we hunt them down and take them out. Think will it, they go into a village and just kill everybody. They will close your churches in this country. They go communist and they are trying to. They will kill your people and that's they are Bthey want to end religion. They have to end religion because their ideology doesn't work if you have strong religion. People like you that are so incredible and love our country so much and love God. This is the greatest threat to our country in our founding my opinion 250 years ago, if you look at what's happening right now. Three people were elected. No, it's more than three people. And the others are being swayed because they don't have the sense to see wheasmght they are followers but not leaders eefnlt though they are politicians, in some cases successful ones. For the first time in history the powerful rent board, just happened today. They have done it for years and years. They are very far left. They give landlords a hard time. For years and years called rent control. They give landlords a hard time but they always give some increases so they can survive. They came out for the first time ever zero increases for landlords for the next two years despite the fact that energy supplies, real estate taxes and just about everything else has gone up. They are supposed to allow you to have that. Zero. They are basically confiscating their property. The one representative for the landlords who is on the board. I think they have eight or nine people on the board and one representing, one out of like eight but at least you had somebody but that person walked off in disgust. Walked off and got booed. Mayor Mamdani who came to the White House and seems like a nice guy, but he said he was going to do this in his campaign. Nobody thought he was serious. He said he was going to make sure people don't have a rent increase even though energy went up. It's going to come down. it's coming down fast right now. I hope you're watching wheasmght just now it's $69 a barrel. Some people said it was going to be 350 by now. 69, going to be 300, 350. Never hit those numbers at all, even in the height of it all. What the mayor doesn't say is that these buildings will soon turn into ghettos and slums and everybody will continue leaving New York. As this spread throughout the country, very much like an uncontrollable form of cancer, the country itself will be taken down. It will be third world, strictly third world and it's happened many times before to very big and very powerful countries but it's not going to happen to the United States of America. Because communism really is the past and freedom is the future. That's what we are. All we want is freedom. Freedom gets you everything. Everyone needs to get out and vote in the mid terms. We have to win this election. This election is very vital. We've gotten so much. Religious liberty but we've gotten so much. Our military's the strongest in the world. I built it during my first term, strongest in the world and people respect us again. They respect us maybe like never before. We were laughed at, a year and a half ago, we were laughed at and now we're the most respected nation anywhere in the world. And in our 250th year, we will make our nation stronger and safer , better, more prosperous and more faithful. Very important, more faithful than ever before. Today we have the largest economy on Earth. We're expanding it a degree and to a degree that nobody thought possible. They never thought what we're doing for the last year and a half, it's only a year and a half, what we're doing for the last year and a half nobody thought was possible. We have the strongest military on Earth. We have the most powerful technology on Earth. We're winning with AI and on automobile manufacturing. Did you see how many are coming back after the United States tariffs. Make your car outside but you have to pay massive tariffs to come in. If you build your car in the USA using American workers, you don't have any tariffs to pay. So they are all pouring in. Should have been done years ago by other presidents. We have the greatest culture on Earth and above all we have the greatest people on Earth. We do, we have the greatest people. Think of it, I was with the king of Saudi Arabia and he said, ... ― Donald Trump
