GenZedong refers to a number of socialist online communities that originated from a single one on the US-based social media website Reddit. After Reddit quarantined GenZedong in 2022, the community split in different communities and with varying currents of Marxism.

Censorship

In March 2022, GenZedong was quarantined by Reddit.[1] GenZedong education subreddit 'GenZhou' and Military History subreddit 'GenZhukov' were banned as well for 'quarantine evasion' despite having been set up before the quarantine and for a different purpose than the original subreddit. Subsequent moderator disagreements lead users to mutiny and join the Lemmygrad GenZedong community. Around this same time, the GenZedong Discord server was censored by Discord admins for "spreading misinformation", i.e. challenging the bourgeois media narrative. Some GenZedong Discord users went to Matrix, but most currently engage in Telegram. GenZhou's posts has been archived in Lemmygrad as 'GenZhouArchive'[2] whilst GenZhukov is considered lost.

Split

Following the ban, as GenZedong was quickly moving to a number of different services to conserve their community, a split happened between the different currents of Marxism that were present on the original subreddit. Several GenZedong discord servers were established and eventually grew into their own community with their own Matrix or Telegram groups.

At this time, it can be considered that none of the split communities have a direct lineage to the original GenZedong subreddit, except for the Lemmygrad community which was established by the moderators of the Reddit community.
