Liberalism is not tolerated on the Marxist-Leninist subreddit of /r/GenZanarchist.
Getting a nice headstart on the doublespeak:
There was no coup, we just took over the sub and banished all the anarchists
The new redfash mods are all from chapo.chat btw.
"Anarkiddies are now banned. Long live Deng."
The AMA we did is here.
The old mods were demodded so they started a new sub:
https://old.reddit.com/r/GenZAnarchism/
I tried to warn them this would happen but they didn't think there was any reason having a tankie top mod would backfire.
turned an anarchist space into a tankie space..?
Tbf this is a forum specifically for making fun of them.
reddit just banned the replacement sub lol
no idea, I guess some admin just really likes Dengists
"This subreddit was banned due to a violation of Reddit’s content policy against creating or repurposing a sub to reconstitute or serve the same objective as a previously banned or quarantined subreddit."
Which makes no sense, because the previous subreddit was not banned or quarantined.
I mean, it's the closest that they'll ever get to enacting their political agenda in any way. Tanks want to be like their precious strong-men but have no means to actually gain power because their ideology is so wildly unpopular within the regions that they live in so they have to resort to petty little power grabs within the 1's and 0's space in order to fill their hollow lives with a victory that they don't just co-opt from dead revolutionaries.
so apparently if a new sub quickly fills up with users that are flagged as suspicious (like anarchists), it gets auto-banned. Reddit must be tagging all the leftists on their site so they can monitor their activity.
Beyond the fact that their ideology has more holes than a hunk of swiss cheese, what I don't understand is why they even try to appropriate the term anarchist (albeit this is somewhat of an edge case), after all they had /r/GenZedong already.
the anarkiddie slur says alot about the perspective of those dishing it out: denouncing childhood as the undesirable stage that must grow up and conform to adulthood. or in other words: obey the social order.
instead of rejecting their childlike label, what if its embraced as an endearing term that rejects the bland musts and shoulds of adulthood? similar to Nietzsche's third stage of the child: towards a life of creative unlearning and play.
I reddit-requested r/genzanarchists
Their goal is to take away Anarchist spaces, not to call themselves anarchists or anything like that.
The most plausible theory I've seen so far is that the system is specifically looking for subs made up primarily of former subscribers of a banned sub. So if the majority of genzanarchist subscribers were also chapotraphouse subscribers, the system would notice this and assume that the new sub was intended as a replacement for chapotraphouse.
The funniest part is they think they can educate people by mass banning them.
Tankies taking over and purging anarchists. Name a more iconic duo.
So /r/GenZanarchist is privated now. "The experiment is over. Thank you for participating."

Like ok, they're tankies, but why are they so fixated on calling their totalitarian state capitalism anarchism?
