[Meta] about free speech

13 days ago by gandalf_der_13te to c/latestagecapitalism

so i'm writing this because i see a lot of comments removed from this community routinely.

i think we need to talk about fundamentals of what it means to be a human. to be human means to have a soul and to believe in people's wisdom and willingness to learn and find themselves. this can only happen in an environment where people can make mistakes and not shot down when they make one.

this is a fundamental principle of human existence. i've seen troubling tendencies in this community that comments get removed routinely by the moderators, mostly for not fitting the moderator's views. you have to let people talk. they may be wrong but without discussion there is no development. if you whiplash people's thoughts, you're only gonna end up with dogs, and that's not good.

"Freedom of speech" is how capitalism allowed and allows fascists into power, by using an empty moral which legitimates fascists when capitalists need them to do the dirty job.

Your points reads like "I want to see capitalist view in a community that sits against capitalism".

Maybe state your point instead ?

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, anti-communism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
