    Yeah a number of users were openly communist. I lurked there for the pro-women content, not the politics. I'm okay with uniting behind that while ignoring a political agenda.

    Problem with the left in getting things done is that they demand increasingly stringent levels of purity. The right seems better at uniting over common interests, and GC should learn from that.

    Better for GC to unite in resistance to the anti-woman agenda, than to get bogged down in political in-fighting.

    I'm openly communist. The reddit GC sub was the only place where I could talk about feminism with people who shared my politics.

    The reason the right seems less concerned with 'purity' is that their views are the views of the majority. So it seems to them and to others that they have no politics or are less concerned with politics. In fact, it's just a matter of shared, unspoken, and usually unconscious assumptions.

    Anyway, it seems this is not going to be a good place for people with my politics. I know there are others. Should we find another space? We can still participate here but can by 'openly communist' there. Send me a message and let's see what we can do.

    Oh don't act like you're being chased out of here. Are you upset about 6 upvotes? On a comment from an admitted lurker? There's over 1100 subscribers here. I know the basic history of gender critical thought, obviously you'll find many people who share your politics.
