I agree with a lot of the jokes/memes posted there that make it to the front page but the actual rules for discussion within the subreddit are kind of far out there. I guess one might call it the (publicly acknowledged) equivalent of the unspoken rules for the r/the_donald subreddit where many things written in opposition to trump are deleted by the moderators.

It's not really an unspoken rule. The 4th rule is "Trump Supporters Only" and pretty much always has been explicit.
That's true of most political subreddits. Try putting a pro-capitalist comment in /r/socialism .
