Well, they're not all gone, but their numbers have significantly decreased. As long as the Marxists have money to throw at neckbeards the'll be shills.

They hate that a place exists with real free speech — and are willing to do anything to tear us down, because human rights poses an existential threat to their ideology and power. But due to the work of Magnora, the other admins, and the community at-large we've been able to defend against this external threat. Big thanks to all yall!

I joined sometime after Reddit's banwaves (not a refugee, just a coincidence), so I can't really compare it to what was before, but I certainly have noticed that discussion has gotten much better.

If you mean communists when you say Marxists then I'd agree. There is a distinct difference. Most of those BLM "Marxists" are NOT Marxists but are rather communists, totalitarians, thugs, and shit disturbers. Also, capitalists can be just as bad if not worse.

Capitalism and Communism have more in common than either do with Syncretism. These materialist ideologies focus solely upon items and instant gratification, rather than the bonds between people and their shared commonalities.

Also, you can have Marxist Capitalism. Marxism is simply the application of Communist principles espoused by Marx to aspects of society. It may not be economically Marxist, but it is, indeed, Marxist in all but that. Especially culturally, since that's the entire point of BLM.

You can also have non-Marxist Communism, but it's quite rare, and I don't believe BLM falls into that category. Perhaps certain sects of Antifa do — since Anarchism is more commonly non-Marxist — but still largely embraces the teachings of Marx.
