The left still can't meme

See, I'm asking for a specific example.
I'm someone who made the transition from SocDem to Libertarian to Far Right and now to a kind of radical anti-capitalism, this was in spite of the efforts of most leftists I talked to, not because of them.
So on some level I'm curious as to where, specifically, leftist ideas aren't allowed to be spoken. Right wing ideas aren't tolerated on even supposedly neutral boards like /r/politics, either being downvoted into oblivion or outright banned, even light or tangential conservatives like Jordan Peterson have been banned from twitter or gmail at some point. Alex Jones, similarly, was basically banned from the internet.

So is there any leftist who can honestly claim to be deplatformed as much as Alex Jones was?

Alex Jones doesn't count because he should have been deplatformed years ago for defamation. If anything the fact that he was allowed to linger on shows how reactionary this society truly is.

Reddit doesn't care if you talk about theory or reform, but if you talk about revolution (even as a joke) you eventually get quarantined.
See: /r/FULLCOMMUNISM

I want to explain this as best as I can to you.
Alex Jones does count, even if you don't like him he still counts. He's crazy, he's a conman, but he still counts. Saying he should have been deplatformed years ago is a pointless attack on the sentiment of right wingers.
Deplatforming, in all honesty, is one of the worst ways to get people on your side–especially early internet adopters in the millennial generation. The Zig Forums types, I believe, may have a shared history in the kind of young people who went on newgrounds incessantly: the people who saw their formative years shaped to some extent by the wild free expression of the internet, and whose first interaction with socio-political conflicts may have been the personal destruction of their families through divorce combined with the censorious tendency of typical American evangelical conservatives.
In essence, the worst way to get them, and the youth in general, on your side is to argue for the deplatforming of anyone. And I would imagine that anyone who could seriously argue for another person to be "deplatformed" while claiming to be an "underdog" or not in a position of power has no self awareness.

But moving on, can you honestly provide an example of a communist getting deplatformed like Alex Jones did?


I've seen a lot of people get quarantined for arguing against IdPol, which is sad, but it's telling in my opinion that while the far right may get censored for their inherent ideas, you need to use the middleman of failing to meet purity standards to censor the left.

Not deplatformed but i remember r/fullcommunism got quarentined for something along the lines of "having communism", and it was just a stupid comedy subreddit.

They weren't banned for arguing against IdPol (they aren't even anti-IdPol, I don't think), they were banned specifically for joking about revolutionary actions because they're too violent. They didn't fail to meet a purity standard, they failed to remain nonthreatening to the owners of the website and their advertisers.

In which case, you need to push this.
More than just being deplatformed, what gives Zig Forums its power is its willingness to point out the hypocrisy inherent in the liberal system, hypocritical authoritarianism is the most noxious kind to most people.

Even when i was a "liberal"(didn't know shit in general) i didn't really think deplatforming was going to work.

That's smart, because it wont.
Suppressing something, even the darkest aspect of ourselves, only allows it to build and fester. Trust me, I myself and several people I know both had childhoods where we heavily suppressed our emotions and its caused turmoil throughout our lives.
Let the Nazis speak, speak back, beat their arguments, and most importantly beat their argumentative "tricks" (trying to play the victim, trying to insist they're oppressed, strawmen, etc) and you'll see less Nazis than if you just deplatformed them.

Deplatforming of the right and left lie in different dimensions. Right-wingers literally just get silenced because they're too edgy and offensive, sometimes to the point of posing a threat of litigation and loss of ad revenue to the host. Alex Jones peddled his crap unmolested until he insulted the families of Sandy Hook victims. Daily Stormer was only forced to move to a different provider after they made fun of the woman killed in Charlottesville. As long as right-wingers manage not to sperg out about how the holocaust didn't happen but should have every 0.5 seconds, nothing happens to them. They just can't help themselves because they brainfucked themselves into believing in this free speech absolutism that means you can joke about murder, rape and the holocaust in public spaces with no consequences and if you do get banned, it is because of the jewish conspiracy.

Leftists are deplatformed through literal decades of cointelpro. Leftist communities don't get physically shut down (often) but instead get invaded by milquetoast liberal yikesers who drown out all radical sentiment with idpol and drama. It's less an issue of being actively deplatformed in the now and more of there not being much to platform in the first place as the old Left has been marginalized and forced underground.
