Why are posts promoting communism allowed on here

Communism is an inherently anti-democratic form of government; communists have been responsible for the murder of millions of people since the early days of the Soviet Union

if someone posted threads defending fascism, I'm sure those would be locked and the person TSed within minutes so why allow posts defending communism?

allowing these posts only serves to give those who think DU is already some leftwing cesspool even more ammunition to attack the site

1. I would imagine it depends on the context

If you see posts that you think are problematic, my suggestion would be to alert on them and let the moderators figure it out.

2. isn't advocating in favor of communism enough?

I think all the posts trying to paint communism in a positive light are problematic

as I said, would the admins allow posts that try to pain fascism in a positive light

Predictably, Lord Marblehead doesn't respond to that.

Are threads on Islam viewed in context also when they're not pro-Islam?

Not allowing the promotion of communism on DU would be like, not allowing white supremacy talk at stormfront.
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Welcome to the world of the democrats. If you haven't figured that out by now, you're either not paying attention or just plain DUmb.

Well, the cooking and baking forums would still remain somewhat intact, so coach's research could continue.
