I still don’t know what I am, but thanks for letting me know that it’s not communist.

this is quite literally what you said

if being politely denied access to a Marxist-Leninist space has convinced you that you’re not a communist, I suppose we made the right choice

I didn’t say I wasn’t a marxist, I just didn’t say I was a marxist. I didn’t know that was a requirement.

That’s what the “left tendency” question is about. Our post about the Matrix space states that it’s “intended for Marxists-Leninists, although baby leftists may also be accepted depending on their vetting answers”.

I failed your test presumably because I thought of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as an imperialist act and after that, I couldn’t name a fifth imperialist country in the modern era. The five I gave you in the first place was difficult for me, not to mention the anti-imperialist countries.

That would not be alone in and of itself, but your other answers were enough to convince the mod with whom you spoke to recommend our “Communism 101” room instead, to learn more before we could let you in. That room consists almost entirely of members of our space who are willing to help educate newcomers, to keep the space proper limited to those with at least a basic understanding of Marxism-Leninism.

Communism 101 is not what I was looking for by joining this community.

If you’re not a communist and you didn’t want to learn more about communism, what were you looking for in trying to join a communist Matrix space?

I don’t know what to call that many genuinely difficult questions with that degree of specificity, if not a purity test. If my answers weren’t good enough then I really don’t want to be good enough for you.

It’s fairly basic vetting, slightly more rigorous than for joining Lemmygrad. We have close to 200 members and we rarely reject applications.

Why is voting a moral choice? Why can’t it be a strategic pick so we have a choice over the opposition?

voting is a strategic choice, but voting for one fascist instead of another is not a sound strategy

You stated in your vetting answers that you were not a Marxist, and the community is explicitly for Marxists-Leninists, although we do usually accept those new to Marxist theory. This is not a “purity test” and there was no hostility whatsoever in our moderator’s conduct. You were invited to our introductory room to learn about Marxism but declined; if you want to learn more about communism, you are free to join it and we’d be happy to help, but the space as a whole is intended for communists.

You mean “Taiwan isn’t China”? Just point out that no country recognizes Taiwan as a country, and neither does the government on Taiwan. A few countries recognize the “Republic of China” but they’re all minor US puppet states

North Koreans are so hungry they have to eat pipe organs and the indigestible pieces fall out

your schtick is being stolen

classic video

there are definitely people hate-browsing Lemmygrad

the sad truth is that some people will remain horrible even after watching that video

but what if a mean person reads this

you too dog

I can’t appoint myself as mod either, I’ll have to ask another admin

that’s just a subset of liberalism

ironically, liberalism actually is very similar to organized religion
