      We are looking to obtain workers rights not just in the west, but everywhere. This can only be done by overthrowing the dictatorships of the bourgeoisie that are falsely named "liberal democracies" and establishing communist governments. We recognize that political change cannot be accomplished through electoral politics, so we must radicalize the workers in this country to seize political power through force.

      We want to use your sub to spread pro communist agitprop to make them realize the heightened contradictions of capitalism to help radicalize them against democratic electoral politics. In order to do this we must make sure the mods aren't idiot leftists who are "against tankies/china/Stalin". r/antiwork had a habit of banning real leftists for being tankies. We also must silence voices that would continue to support the capitalist status quo from posting in the sub.

      We care a lot about worker's rights, and have been disappointed with the direction of r/antiwork and horrified (but not surprised) that the r/workreform subreddit astroturfed to replace it is clearly run by bankers and is an attempt to co-opt the revolutionary sentiment originally found in r/antiwork and to neuter the movement.

      We also know a lot about labor history and organizing, check out our !labour@hexbear.net comm (like a subreddit) to get a better sense of our thoughts, tactics, mindsets, and vibes

      Well, we recognize that this type of attitude is self-defeating and can only give power to fascists.

      Antiwork and related ideas/reddit communities are supposed to radicalize staunch liberals, so they need to be tolerated much more than they are on a website like ours. But fascists have no interest in constructive growth with any positive worker movement - the entire ideology is to use violence and dishonesty to fight YOU. It's just capitalism reacting to the threat of worker's rights.

      Fascist and fascist-adjacent ideologies might as well be called "anti-workers-rights-movement" and if you allow that on your subreddit, it's fucked. A pointless endeavor, even more fucked than the big sub that's imploding right now.

      And if non-fascist vaguely pro-capitalism normie redditors wanna join in on the fun of dunking on bad bosses, they're gonna have to leave their support for capitalism at the door. Most of us came from /r/chapotraphouse, and that's what worked so well to significantly change peoples' politics. And if you don't want to be banned like cth then just don't be as funny or rude.
