Just discovered that admins are removing resource-content on the subreddit. Both the DPRK and China megathreads that are in the sidebar have been removed, probably others too.

I doubt this is unique to only /r/communism, /r/communism101 is probably going to be hit as well.

    Do remember that archive.org sometimes excludes and removes things.

    They are mostly reliable but if there is something you really care about then keep a local copy.
