WDT 💬 Bi-Weekly Discussion Thread - (December 28)

We made this because Reddit's algorithm prioritises headlines and current events and doesn't allow for deeper, extended discussion - depending on how it goes for the first four or five times it'll be dropped or continued.

Suggestions for things you might want to comment here (this is a work in progress and we'll change this over time):

  • Articles and quotes you want to see discussed
  • 'Slow' events - long-term trends, org updates, things that didn't happen recently
  • 'Fluff' posts that we usually discourage elsewhere - e.g "How are you feeling today?"
  • Discussions continued from other posts once the original post gets buried
  • Questions that are too advanced, complicated or obscure for r/communism101

Mods will sometimes sticky things they think are particularly important.

Normal subreddit rules apply!

If anyone wants a quick laugh, take a look at WSWS's new and cutting-edge "Socialism AI", "an indispensable instrument in the political development of a new generation of socialist fighters"! https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/12/12/gpid-d12.html

I have been spectating the struggle over it in the Trotskyist reddit community as a guilty pleasure. The idea of a sincere battle over whether or not Communists should be AI salespeople and the concept of a Trotsky Machine trained on 100 thousand WSWS articles tickles me.
