==please incorporate the word rule in your post titles==
Here are the things that get you banned:
-saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad or hexbear account
-tankie behaviour

-authoritarian behaviour
-genocide denial
-prejudice of any kind
-anything else that is clearly bad

Things that get your post/comment removed:
-AI generated content
-anything in the banlist
-posts that are so off topic that they don't fit on 196 at all
-moldy memes (old memes, crusty memes, irrelevant memes. The type of things you'd see on your aunt's Facebook page or Elon musk's Twitter account with a laughing emoji as the caption)
-corpoposting

Ban length varies, and is mostly based off of whether or not I think you will change your behavior. I have baned certain people for upwards of 2000 days.

Thinking communism is a good system and sucking of dictators is a bit of a difference isn't it lol.

I literally today saw a post celebrating and congratulating Xi for being a leader for so long, you know, while forcing that no one else could take power.

Also associating communism with authoritarianism is very saying.

Communism has never been implemented. We had "really existing socialism" which then drifted off into state-capitalist tyranny, capitalist tyranny, or straight tyranny. Cuba and Vietnam fare better, they're drifting towards democratic socialism.

MLs be like "the state will wither away bro, I swear it will work this time" and then create an authoritarian nightmare society again.

Although at least you're not getting anywhere with your stupid military fetishism, because you cannot topple an existing power through force of arms unless the state military is in tatters, and with the threat of nuclear war preventing any kind of large-scale engagement between major powers, good luck waiting for an opportunity.

The only way to topple a major developed government now is through the Union of Unions, striking with enough of the population to break the economy in half, and bring the establishment to the bargaining table with two options: give us what we want, worker democracy, or we take away your access to food, water and power. And if that worked, and then you authoritarian fuckers tried to pull your usual shit on us in the aftermath, we'd just strike again until it was your turn to choose between worker democracy or dying of thirst with no food and no power to make your demise any more comfortable.

Go and start, or join, a fucking union, and try to make things marginally better for your fellow workers, instead of doing nothing but sucking Stalin's necrotised dick over the internet.

I just need you to know this made me let out the loudest damned snort. Perfect description, 10/10 no notes.

No, i don't consider it succeeding if there's a dictator in power. Is that a hot take? Again, I'm fairly anti-capitalist too. I am also anti-authoritarian, and thus also against dictators. Hence i do not consider Xi's CCP
Successful.

Edit: what barsoap said is also true. China utilizes a capitalist system as economy. Do you really think those factory workers own their factory themselves? If so, how are there so many Chinese billionaires? Billionaires shouldn't exist in a communist society.
