I can't commit to a new site when I hear all these horror stories about anarchist chapo admins mocking, silencing and banning communists. I need to know that this will be a left unity project and that sectarianism won't be tolerated. That I won't be attacked for defending China / NK. That I won't be called a "tankie" for explaining that gulags were a progressive form of justice. That liberals spreading imperialist propaganda about the Uighurs or Honk Kong reactionaries will be shut down immediately and not given room to breathe. The MLs in the chapo community need the admins and mods to make us these promises so we can trust this site and devote our time to posting here.

    The largest tendency within the mod and admin team is ML with Syndicalist just behind them. People are allowed to have their opinions on China, and banning people who say China Bad (But not in a sinophobic way that reddit does) would be just as bad faith as banning people who say China Good.

    We can difference of opinions, and as long as nobody is jacketing other users or insulting them on a personal level (versus attacking the idea) we can keep things pretty peaceful and fun around here.
