I love how the immediate reply is so dumb and “because I said so” that even the OP (a self-proclaimed MLM) feels that their intelligence has been insulted.

    I’m starting to wonder if that place is a honey pot or something, it’s truly a strange place full of strange takes.

    Edit:

    This got me curious. I checked the moderators of r/Marxism and between all of them they manage these communities:

    r/AnarchismVsMarxism
    r/AnarchoFeudalism
    r/antyjokes
    r/askcommunists
    r/communism
    r/communism101
    r/communismlibrary
    r/communistdating
    r/comradesgonewild
    r/DebateCommunism
    r/justfuckmymemeup
    r/LeftHistoryPorn
    r/leninism
    r/Marxism
    r/MarxistFilmGroup
    r/marxistreadingclub
    r/politicalfolk
    r/ShittyDebateCommunism
    r/showtrials
    r/socialistfolk
    r/thursdaynext
    r/xplkqlkcassia

    Between them all they all have moderation rights to a bunch of strangely named communities.

    r/a:t5_2ufyr
    r/a:t5_2vnfe
    r/a:t5_2vprt
    r/a:t5_2wtqo
    r/a:t5_2ylfb
    r/a:t5_34fmp
    r/a:t5_35ap3
    r/a:t5_35hxu
    r/a:t5_37wae
    r/a:t5_38eqc
    r/a:t5_3a0l2
    r/a:t5_3af1h
    r/a:t5_3b1x1
    r/a:t5_3cl8ky
    r/a:t5_3ekkt
    r/a:t5_3etdi
    r/a:t5_3etxx
    r/a:t5_3eu2h
    r/a:t5_3ew77
    r/a:t5_3ewdt
    r/a:t5_3exe2
    r/a:t5_3ezd7
    r/a:t5_3f8ax
    r/a:t5_3fi4k
    r/a:t5_3fmoq

    Some of them seem to be backup communties? Maybe used for CSS testing? I can’t be sure. I haven’t looked at all of them yet.

    All of them moderate r/communism, r/communism101, r/marxism, however:

    PigInABlanketFort hasn’t posted or commented in 2 years. supercooper25 is active.
    xplk☭ hasn’t posted or commented in 2 years.
    StarTrackFan hasn’t posted or commented in 5 years. AlienatedLabor hasn’t posted or commented in 1 year.

    I mean, maybe this is just a total lack of actual moderation. If one person is trying to manage these subs, I imagine it’s not easy. But a lack of comments and posts doesn’t exactly mean the users are inactive, I
