I'll admit I don't really understand the practice of censoring things that aren't clearly swear words from context, but in this case you've censored it so much (and I suspect thrown in spaces so Hacker News doesn't italicize bits of it) that I really have no idea what you're talking about.

I frequently read the specific sub he censored, and even I could not decipher the name initially.

The sub is chapotraphouse, based upon the podcast of the same name. I've never listened to the podcast, I tried once and within a few minutes found it obnoxious. As somebody interested in political theory/history/whatever label you want to apply to "the study of power structures", I often find the perspective of the sub interesting, and can usually be summed up as "21st century communists in America".
