Annoyed with leftist subreddits

Political subreddits have been grinding my gears. Recently, I was banned from r/socialistgaming for asking about the situation involving the game franchise Metro, at least that’s what I assume since I was offered no explanation and no way to ask. I rarely interact with the sub anyways. The subreddit is encouraging people to blacklist the series due to the author’s anti Zionist views. Personally, I am sympathetic to the Palestinian people, against Zionism, and have anti-Zionist Jewish family so yeah, that is where I’m coming from. Obviously, my question had no ill intent. I cannot ask the moderators about my ban either.

My frustration with political subreddits is that left wing subreddits are completely insulated and inaccessible. Left wing and socialist subs in particular seem to offer no discourse or real discussion. This is coming from someone who is probably more radically left than most.

Not only that, I have participated in real life socialist groups! I’m guessing maybe 0.1% of any of the users have actually engaged in leftist IRL activities, but I digress.

This is not a both sidesism or enlightened centrist post. I am without a doubt a leftist, but i hate that I cannot find any leftist communities on Reddit that are not on a banning rampage or outright echo chambers. IRL, socialist groups may screen potential members with applications and interviews. That makes sense, but to ban a user for asking a question in good faith… it’s Reddit for Christ’s sake. And I don’t see how you can prove a point without opening up to some disagreement or discussion. That is what public debates and inquiries are for.

At the end of the day, it’s Reddit so who cares. It’s not serious to me, but it’s annoying that I can find cool communities for certain things, but I can’t find a community for what I am most passionate about, which is world events/politics.
