Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

I dunno if there were millions of well off western communists I think communism as an ideology would be in a better place. Rich people discovering communism is pretty fucking rare in my experience and historically speaking.

There's a ton of us petite bourgeois communists, but we don't always do the best things for the movement.

Are there even millions of Western communists at all haha?

American communist party membership is like what, 10-30k right now? And like half of that are Trots?

People who don't organize, while still cool, unfortunately don't count since we're talking about the progress of communism
