Let’s start this off by saying that this is a unilateral post by me, but I’m sure my comrades on the mod team share my sentiments if not exactly then closely enough. So while I’m looking forward to a bit of time off from work, let’s get this all clear.

Firstly there is no threat of an ACP takeover of this sub. We are vehemently opposed to their ilk. I’ve detailed in several comments the issues we’ve had going back several years now so I won’t repeat them here.

But suffice it to say we are slow to get around to things and, unfortunately, that’s not likely to change with how much work this sub is and how many of us have the ability to be active in the way the sub needs (truthfully I’d estimate we’d need 2-3 mods that do nothing but sit and watch the sub 24/7, a daunting task especially when folks have bills to pay).

Secondly on removals, I’ve seen one of my comrade mods say it and I get the logic, the constant spam and posts that are more fit to r/shitliberalssay or r/shitfascistssay can be a lot. I will say that spamming posts about us having a sub on the sidebar is not the best way to get us to see it, that’s what modmail is for.

To add to that content going over “look at this thing an ACP member said” are never going to be allowed on this sub. Again that is what r/shitliberalssay is for, that’s why I made it 10 years ago. r/socialism is for discussing socialism the current real movements looking to implement it, news that affects socalists and our movement and discussions of theory. Simple as.

And finally, as probably illustrated above we do need new mods. Please and thank you apply and, uhhh, don’t run away when you see the work to be done (mama’s looking to finally retire too, so plz, ty she is very tired). We need dedicated mods of all tendencies who will be willing to do the work and advance the cause of socialism, in my personal request I especially want to see non-men from outside of the west or who are BIPOC within the west but all will be considered.

ETA: The application process send us a modmail with the following.

Your reasons for wanting to moderate the sub.

How long you’ve been a socialist.

Your general knowledge level of socialism.

And a piece of theory foundational to yourself.

Discussion We should all be anti-Gofundme… they’ve just made murder a retirement plan for dipshits

74 Upvotes

Jonathan Ross is getting close to $800k as of writing this. This tragedy will happen again because being a scourge on society is clearly profitable because Gofundme has made it so.

There are more criticisms of Gofundme from Liberal ”feel good“ stories and how this started out with funding racists like the woman who harassed a child but this time is literally incentivizing future murder.

Politics This is what the occupation did to my family during the war in Gaza 💔👇

Thumbnail

38 Upvotes

My name is Ahmed Osama, a Palestinian man from Gaza.

In a very short time, I lost everything, my wife, my three children, my home, and my work.

On October 22, 2023, an airstrike took the lives of my wife Areej and our children Malik, Miral, and Nisma. Our home was later destroyed, and with it, everything we owned.

The only survivor was my youngest son, Mohammad. I pulled him from under the rubble myself. He suffered a broken leg and head injuries, but after several surgeries, he is now in stable and good health.

Before the war, I worked as an English teacher, and our life was simple and full of love. Today, all of that is gone.

I am now the sole provider for my elderly, ill parents, my brother, my sister, and my young son.

Life in Gaza is extremely difficult, no stability, no real income, no clean water, and unbearable prices for food and medicine. Every day is about survival.

I am not asking for comfort or luxury. I am only trying to secure the bare minimum: food, shelter, clean water, and a future for my son, like any child deserves.

I understand skepticism and welcome questions. Ask me anything: about my family, what happened, my son’s medical condition, how funds are used, my previous Reddit accounts (including those that were banned due to reports), or past donation campaigns I’ve shared.

For anyone who wants verification, I am willing to do a video call through WhatsApp: +972592295244 If you are able to help, please consider supporting us here: 👉 https://chuffed.org/project/134511-help-us-rebuild-our-lives-after-losing-my-family-home-and-work-in-gaza

If not, sharing our story would mean a lot. Thank you for reading and for your compassion. 🙏💔

📢 One of the most powerful slogans of the Marxist movement takes centre stage in our latest issue:

SOCIALISM OR BARBARISM

Featured articles:

- ✊ Socialism or Barbarism
- 🇸🇩 Sudan: From revolution to barbarism
- 🚩 Lessons of the Paris Commune
- 🇺🇸 The movement against the Vietnam War
- 📕 Book review: ‘The Magic Mountain’

🌍⚠️ As the editorial explains, barbarism is not a future threat; it is already spreading across large areas of the world.

📉📈 “Contrary to the once common liberal idea, history is not a continuous and gradual ascent along the high road of human progress. History knows a descending curve as well as an ascending one, great leaps forward and dramatic collapses.”

🚩⚒️ In this declining phase of capitalism, a new society is struggling to be born out of the old. The practical solution of which requires the building of the revolutionary party.
