A little meme I found with a great caption. Enjoy this little meme drop with the OG image and a close in on the Karl Marx snail. Keep it with you for whenever, wherever you need it.
Marx was truly everywhere.

Hi everyone,
Apologies if this is not the right tag or if this feels slightly off topic.
I am currently looking for recommendations for Marxist or broadly left-wing publishers. ideally ones that produce both political theory/prose and classic literature.
Part of the reason is that I am trying to move away from large corporate publishers like Penguin Random House. I would prefer to support publishers that are more aligned with Marxist values, rather than large commercial entities. I also feel like Penguin is more so aligning with reactionary thought in praxis and I hate their prefaces.
Additionally, I have had a negative personal experience in academia involving a former lecturer, this lecturer stole my work and actively discriminated against me and other students during the covid lockdown. He received a deal with penguin. This has further pushed me to rethink which publishers I want to support.
So, I would really appreciate any suggestions for publishers you would recommend for everyday reading, not just the ones like Verso, but also other popular or accessible options.
Thanks in advance!

I dont think they are in here (yet or as I know of).
I have checked the TankieTheDeprogram discord and the compromised mods arent in there (correct me if u find out something new).
Im not sure if the tankie sub will survive this in any case I advise u all to go on lemmy .
You can also post in here, just respect the rules.
Also pls do not mention "The American Crackhead Party" by its real name or its short version in the comments. I do think some of there loonies track their critics through reddits search function. I do not want there attention. thx

Early this morning u/DrunkAlunya and I woke up seeing that u/Alexitine (the top mod in this community) had added u/FamousPlan101, one of the National Bolsheviks (or Nazbols - what are nazbols?) from the ACP as a moderator. Immediately after that, the mod list was reordered and some of us most active mods in the community (like u/DrunkAlunya and u/HeinrichTheWolf_17) were removed as well.
As soon as we realized that this subreddit got infiltrated by those fascists, some of us mods got in touch with each other and decided on how to proceed. We then contacted Reddit's support and eventually, we were able to remove u/FamousPlan101 and reinstate as mods the same old team that was here.
It is our belief that Alexitine's account was hacked because (as you can see in the screenshot) the account had been inactive for some time and, out of nowhere, one day we received a warning from Reddit saying that the account tried to add someone to the moderation team. That warning got buried in the modmail but, looking at the modlog, we can see that after that warning, Alexitine's account became active again in an effort to gain the 'active' status. And this morning, when the account finally returned active, the whole shitshow happened.
Whoever is using Alexitine's account tried explaining away the whole situation by sending the message you can see in the screenshot in the mod group chat. Mind you, that was the first and only message we had received from Alexitine in months. And after that, nothing else.
We have mentioned all of this to Reddit's team of course. However, their reply was that they believe u/Alexitine's account was not hacked.
Because of Reddit's reply, at the moment we are unable to fully remove u/Alexitine as top moderator sadly. But rest assured that we the other mods we are continuing to HEAVILY monitor the situation and keep an eye out for more practical resolutions.
In the meantime, I would like to thank all the users that kept telling those fascists to fuck off from this community 🫡
And more importantly, I would like to invite you to join our sister community on Lemmygrad ( https://lemmygrad.ml/post/9114969 ) where we have the same vibe that we have here and where there are no nazbols!
I tried my best to explain in the post on Lemmygrad how to join Lemmygrad itself, but if you have more questions about it - or about this morning's situation too of course - feel free to write in this post.
UPDATE: more information was found about u/Alexitine and their involvement with the fascist ACP --> https://www.reddit.com/r/TankieTheDeprogram/comments/1rq3ebu/this_communitys_top_moderator_ualexitine_is_acp/
