Should we go and report any post from Al-Jazeera? Or any post that links to western state propaganda in general? Does that count as breaking the "Promoting anti-communism" rule? I think it's a little much to go about reporting people for linking something somebody said, just because we don't like the somebody who said it. I don't see any explicit all encompassing endorsement of this person's reactionary views anywhere in this post.
CPGB-ML are right deviationists so I'll keep reporting them for breaking the rule "no right deviationists". Joti is a prominent "socially conservative" figure on the British "left", posting an interview with her is no different to posting an interview with Hinkle.
From MoreTankieChapo to GenZedong to Lemmygrad there is a cycle of nazbols / patsocs / whatever you wanna call them swarming the space looking to normalise their ideas, getting pushed back, and quieting down for a bit until the next cycle, and I think this is why there's a rule specifically disallowing this content.
I'm not sure why you want to report Al Jazeera, there is no rule against posting from mainstream media.
They are a sectarian, anti China, anti Shia propaganda rag that manufactured consent for the destruction of Syria and Libya, yet I see plenty of posts of their articles here, particularly about Palestine, and yet I tolerate it and don't report people for making such posts, because I don't automatically assume the people posting are trying to promote sectarian, anti China views.
Also how do you interpret the rule, do you take it as meaning "We don't want people with such views to be a part of this community and spread their views" or "We don't want people with such views to even be mentioned in this community regardless of why"?
I dont think I agree with you here, when we post any large news org its with an understanding that its just a single slice of perspective on an issue - we should know better as communists that these orgs are always highly biased. Al Jazeera just tends to be the one we goto because it at least presents something closer to the center with the Palestine/Isreal conflict and has some inherent, but narrow value in understanding a vector of the situation. This doesnt excuse anything else they have done, and im sure most of us agree with that.
But with the CPG-ML party when we post stuff thats meant to be 'on side' it is seen more as an endorsement of an orgs views and should be held to a higher standard of critique otherwise we're open to opportunist reactionaries trying to do entryism into us, our party lines are non-negotiable when it comes to trans people and that should go without saying.
These orgs are not only highly biased(which is to put it mildly) but mouthpieces/collaborators of fascist governments that have done great damage to plenty of the oppressed in the global south. These western media are as dangerous as the Patsocs because they have even a higher audience to reach to. Al Jazeera is one example and other examples are the BBC, Sky news and other western media. If the goal is not to allow reactionaries trying to do entryism into us or any fascists as mentioned by Red_Scare, I don't we should be lenient with any of these western media as well.
Maybe, a warning might help to have a heads up of the author's(such as CPGB-ML) disgusting views or to make this more productive you could share an alternative to keep the focus on the topic at hand.
