Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

MLM is more well-known as an abbreviation for somehow legal pyramid schemes.

Actually interesting you say this, I remember using MLM for Marxism–Leninism–Maoism for years before suddenly all my ex-friends and barely acquaintences started trying to con me into their makeup hustles.

The further left the community is, the more likely Marxism–Leninism–Maoism ends up being the default assumption of a no-context use of MLM.

I figured that was what it must have meant despite never seeing that abbreviation’s use.

For the so-called Maoists, cope and seethe. You don’t win the abbreviation but you can have the dunk tank as consolation.
