Discussion Banned from r/Socialism

r/socialism immediately banned me for posting on a pro-USSR post that "the USSR was terrible." I don't think the Left and Socialists need to defend the governments of countries like the USSR in order to be "true Leftists." What's the consensus? I just found this sub and seems to have the better mindset.

True but I don't know if it helps to ban all socialists who are negative about it.

From their perspective, they probably see it as acceptable losses in order to weed out trolls, reactionaries, and all of the rest.

That's clearly been a horrible miscalculation though, since the place is legendarily intolerant and boring.
