This is a direct plea to all my ancom comrades.

Yesterday I made an account on Raddle and was - well I won't mince words - really freaking excited to have found a leftist spin on reddit... Sadly that excitement quickly fizzled out when I was set upon by a gang of proud counter revolutionaries telling me everything I believe about creating an equal world isn't worth believing.

I was informed by a helpful comrade (@celebrityrecluse) this is usual on Raddle and anarchists have somehow been rendered into a persecuted minority on our own site. That's a true shame that things have been allowed to descend to this level and I want to use my terrible experience being bullied by these radlibs to hopefully instigate some changes around here so no more comrades are run off by this gang of trolls who would be more at home on 4chan.

The first step is to reclaim the revolutionary subRaddles that are already here and not let the anti communists overrun them and silence us from talking about our own ideology. So the anarchism forum, the antifa forum, the socialism forum, the communism forum and the others all need to be set aside for anarchists, antifas, socialists and communists. People who openly admit to being counter-revolutionaries and to supporting markets / capitalism shouldn't be allowed to shit up revolutionary subs. They can make their own subs for their own ideologies and talk among themselves without needing to butt in to leftist conversations.

If the moderators won't play ball with this initiative or if they're all AWOL which seems to be the case, we will have to use different methods to reclaim our subs. Every time the counter revolutionary gang try to bully us to spread their liberalism we have to shout our beliefs even louder than them, we have to discredit all their harmful propaganda and make it clear to them that we won't be intimidated by their coercive tactics.

This, comrades is the only way we can take back control of this site. We need to make Raddle for anarchists again. We need to stand up for anarchism. Because if not us, who?

Hi Tony. Welcome to raddle. I don’t think you are alone in your view, but thus far your contributions have been painfully close minded, reductionist, and (ironically) reactionary.

Given the parodic nature of your posts, it is unclear to me whether or not you are an actual ancom drunk on the strong liquor of the beautiful idea, or an alt account send up of every embarrassing ancom trope that’s ever graced a Reddit sub.

Either way, I invite you to take a page from /u/celebratedrecluse who like you is a communist, albeit one with a far more nuanced approach to politics and social interaction (and easily one of my favorite users on raddle) and engage in good faith conversation on topics of mutual interest rather than addressing our little online space with poorly conceived polemics and absurdist calls to revolution.

Just a thought.

You should hunt down raddle's counter-revs one by one and stuff bread down their throats until they repent.

All though I disagree with you I'll gladly help the underdog. Maybe we could make a sub together to be out headquarters. Then you can have mod privileges and keep all those who won't play nice out. As you get all the sympathetic people in your headquarters sub you can slowly roll out into more and more subs until pushing everyone back. Once you gain control of the sub I will then and only then turncoat so I can counter the raddle revolution.

I am very supportive of diversifying the thought on raddle. So, even though I agree I will gladly help in pushing against the hegemonic post left naritive. I'm obviously not the most ideal ally but I wear my disloyalty on my sleve so you can truly trust me. I can make the sub tho, I think you would rather make it. Tho, you have to ask to get whitelisted first. So if you're in a hurry I can make the sub and mod you.

What you are talking about?

Why do you think Raddle was any different? Did you browse the old topics?

I suggest you follow the polite advice from /u/ruin before you get more frustrated with a community that are already here

No, I told you that communists are in the minority on reddit. There are plenty of anarchists, most of them aren't communist.

Ok, I might share your views, but what can we do exactly as simple users?
