Ils ne sont pas marxistes: r/LeftistsForAI, Marx's Legacy, and the Left's Lost Capacity for Internal Critique (version 1.1) is a research report by Lee Sharks, deposited in the Crimson Hexagonal Archive on 1 November 2026, superseding version 1.0 (#1725). It reads the left's handling of internal critique from Marx's polemics of the 1840s to October 2026, finding abundant conflict and few mechanisms that carry a defeated critique into an organization's next form, and it reads AI mediation of public meaning as reproducing the same incapacity by omission, balance or verdict. Version 1.1 adds the episode version 1.0 did not carry: after the subreddit r/LeftistsForAI removed two of the author's works under its topicality rule in February 2026, he posted his analysis of that removal, I Hereby Abolish Rules (#517), to the subreddit itself; the moderators removed it under the rule titled Bad Faith and banned him, and Reddit suspended his account within a day. The report records the post, from the author's own statements, as a probe whose outcome he predicted, and the ban as its measurement, and it leaves the connection between the subreddit ban and the platform suspension open, as the author does.
