  • On reddit, anyone can claim to be anything. A right wing grifter can pretend to be a “communist” in order to sow discord amongst communist groups, or someone who just learned about communism last week can go on there and claim to be a diehard communist despite not reading a single bit of communist theory. Additionally, anyone actively advocating for genuine communist principles on reddit tends to get their accounts banned because it is a US corporate website that works closely with the US state department.

    All this is to say that there is a kind of selection bias on reddit, where principled communists are often removed and fake communists or very naive communists are allowed to stay. So you have people who know nothing about communism talking to other people about communism with all of them insisting they are experts on communism because they spend so much time on reddit talking about how much they are the “real” communists. It really is enough to drive anyone mad.
