lol you're not calling for left unity you're calling for left exclusion and hating on tankies, and the idea that you have to "contain" ML elements is pretty... sectarian.
The idea is to reopen the lib-to-leftist pipeline. If you talk to your coworkers about low wages you will get a much better response than if you start talking about Xinjiang and Stalin. I actually wish I could be even more ML sometimes. One thing I've noticed is that we have c/anarchism but not c/marxism-leninism. This implies that the default here is ML. I am not asking to contain ML elements, I'm asking to contain heavily ML posts (the kulaks deserved it, North Korea is the freest state in the world, etc) in their own subs while allowing commenting everywhere. Get used to seeing liberalism on main if you want this site to grow. That's a good sign, it means the pipeline is reopening.
we have a /c/marxism, you're just not subscribed to it or it'd be on the top section of "communities" for you.
libs can post whatever they want so long as it's not reactionary, the fact that you want to heavily moderate and isolate ML posts more than liberalism is not going to be a good move for 'growing this site.' libs have their own spots they post in, like twitter and reddit. censoring the most active user base here will have the opposite effect on user numbers that you think it will have. there is no real way to grow this site towards libs, because reddit has destroyed the idea of what an internet forum is, but libs sit so close to the peg that they haven't noticed, and there is no incentive to leave if that's where they belong.
edit: there's a bit of parenti in there if you look for it hard enough :putin-wink:
