Yeah this subreddit is very Maophobic. The thread about the maoist coup attempt in Bulgaria only got three replies. This community is too dengist and liberal.
And go ahead and downvote me all you want, I will remain a MLM until the day I die.
Long live Chairman Gonzalo and His All-Powerful Thought!!! LONG LIVE!

Why the fuck was the nsfw art request thread deleted?
4 posts and 1 image reply omitted.

He self reported and asked to have it deleted. I obliged.

>>32767
tbh I think that shouldn't be done with established threads though but eh

>>32770
well the delete function exists, they just forgot the password

>>32771
You can't delete your own OPs.

>>32767
Shit, is there any way to temporarily recover the thread? Or at least the posts of other anons in that thread? That way people could repost the requests in the regular /draw/ request thread?

>>32772
>Or at least the posts of other anons in that thread?
This.
Would be nice if the Azov-chan archive links and reference images can be recovered. Can't be bothered to look for them again.

Is it possible to have an option to preview or at least edit posts? I don't like having to delete and re-post after making a mistake.

I feel like making the markup commonmark markdown would be helpful for this. Hate forgetting that double * is spoiler on here, not bold.

>>32488
get filtered, redditoid

>>32489
Markdown is one of the most popular markup languages in existence. It's trivial to implement a flavor that doesn't use "Reddit spacing"
This is like sticking with HTML formatting for no reason. There could even be an optional checkbox to activate Vichan-flavored markdown. Idk why nobody else instantly comes up with perfect software ideas like me. I guess we can't all be perfect and wise in the ways of the world and humble like me, sadly.

>>32489
I didn't even know reddit used markdown, thanks to having never used reddit.

>>32497
When you copy the text on almost any article on the entire internet, it will be copied as Markdown.

Why is Tor image-posting suddenly removed for siberia? I don't recall a ton of spammers recently.

If you are loaded it would explain your emotional incontinence and other pathologies actually.

>>32373
>Arguing with Nazis refines the arguments of socialists
Most people aren’t sympathetic to Nazism, they’re sympathetic to liberalism
Most people already see bolshevik style communism as better than Nazism
Few see any type of communism as better than liberalism
You need to refine your arguments against liberals that can actually present compelling arguments to people that aren’t brain poisoned by racism and inceldom
Liberals promote freedom and liberty, Nazis promote race wars, one is far more compelling to the average person than the other

>>32491
Following up on this; Mods please undo the Tor image posting block. There's no spammers at the moment and it barely hinders spammers who just VPN hop instead.

Is it internal shame from being a liberal that you have to lash out and become some meme fringe sect of a fringe ideology?

I get it, the Democrats have lied to the working class and especially marginalized groups, but unironically getting so obsessed with “cringe IDPol” so much that you invert into unironically thinking only white men that work in factories can achieve communism is even cringier.

I’ve been lurking this board awhile and I can’t tell where the bit stops and ends.

Biden is bourgeois and serves the capitalist class okay. Trump pissed off a large sect of establishment bourgeois but he himself is still bourgeois. He’s done nothing but expand and escalate the entire imperial agenda is while four years

Because gas prices are lower or muh inflation wasn’t as high doesn’t have anything to do with Trump or Biden. Unironically saying it does is just buying into Great Man Theory and exposing your liberalism.

>ban anybody who supports voting
I agree!

We know why you pathetic democrats play enlightened centrist. You sneaky electoral-denialist conservatives just want to discourage the proletariat from removing Biden from office!
>>32331
You can cite anything Trump did, but Bidler did it 1000x more or worse.

The MAGA struggle defies electoralism, but that does not mean that not voting all at doesn't mean that you're not just a democrat. A third party vote is, in effect, just a vote for Bidler. All dissent to Biden's (the bourgeoisie's) greatest threat should be banned.

Anyway, I woke up and already knew there would be no essay on american politics. For me, it's Copmala. The way to electoral success (destabilization) is for Trump and Biden to both croak and the ascend of Copmala. I have nothing to base this on. Negative dialectics.

It's been long overdue. I've worn out my welcome on leftypol.org, and although i have struggled to impress people and try to remain within the site's good graces by effortposting here and there, it's clear to me that nobody actually likes me here, and it's also clear that most of you guys are yankee collaborators if not outright US nationalists. I'm sick of being constantly ridiculed and mocked and it's probably better if i just focus on writing my second book and trying to stabilize my life, because my "comrades" sure as shit couldn't care less about any of it. I'm still going to be using element but i don't care about the site anymore, especially because the fucking staff can't fucking figure out that maybe instead of trying to constantly engage in the sisyphean task of banning reactionaries they should have been improving the site. I put forth proposals to improve the site myself, such as having an overboard that focuses mainly on collecting effortposts from /edu/ and /leftypol/ to reduce the theorylet problem, or having an overboard that focuses mainly on current events, like a dedicated NewsAnon section. I don't care to flesh out these ideas, i felt like i did a pretty good job explaining them in a thread that nobody cared enough to archive about 2 years ago. I understand that the jannies are understaffed but stop fucking wasting your time on cleaning up pepes and maybe focus on coding the fucking site idfk. Anyway goodbye guys. I thought maybe i'd have earned some respect by now but whatever. Despite the mockery and disrespect, i promise that when Socialism is established in the south, i will give all of you guys a position as indoor slaves where you can at least have air conditioning. You won't be mistreated.

Shut the fuck up. 90% of your posts are shitposts and porn pics, you're a tourist from /pol/ who supports white supremacists and segregationists so stop victim playing. You were funny at first but your act got tiring. I guess you're friends with the mods or something, because in another era you've would have permabanned from /leftypol/ in under a day. I think you have some serious problem with porn, too. Good riddance.

So we all agree this is going nowhere, right? There are no meaningful agreements here, no progress, no development. It‘s just eternal disagreements with no productive resolution. We are just passing time until whatever happens with this species happens, are we on the same page?

>This is the failure of your thinking
well EXCUSE ME mr smarty pants
exploitation is the process in which the bourgeois extract surplus value from labor, it doesnt distinguish between salaries and working conditions
>That very productivity is wrapped up in the commodity-form.
sure, but commodities existed before capitalism
the application of machinery and technology to satisfy needs responds to a social form of production. its not an unchangeable, omnipotent, perpetual mystical essence. if anything, a needs-based social form of production could further perfection efficiency and the distribution of resources, since, for example, people who would otherwise break their backs trying to make ends meet would be able to receive technological training
>You can imagine differently but thats my total belief.
fascists are wackos and scammers. they are outside the political spectrum, even the material form! SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION or something. but at the same time, the world just be like that, nothing to be done about it
>The stage of nationalising profits is desirable as a sublation of private profits
this is just a change of hands. patriotic corporations are totally different from international financiers, trust me bro
>central planning is communist retardation.
didnt your mom teach you manners? planification already occurs in the private sphere, what matters is who plans and what for

>>32046
>A guy behind a counter doesnt PRODUCE anything
oh and i agree with this, but thats a different issue than what we were talking about

Central planning of the economy is fundamental for a functioning economy

>>32047
>exploitation is the process in which the bourgeois extract surplus value from labor
And its not possible to extract more or less surplus value by unpaid Value realised in the sale of commodities? If i pay one guy $5/hr and another $10/hr for the same job im not exploiting one more?
I would argue that all societies (all economies) as built on this very reserve of unpaid labour, whether its in the workplace or the home.
>sure, but commodities existed before capitalism
Yes ofc. They are a transhistorical fact of economic life, and the idea of overcoming them by overcoming exchange and thus returning to communist conditions of creating mere use-values is pithy speculation and marx's weakest area of conceptualising history.
>a needs-based social form of production could further perfection efficiency and the distribution of resources
We already have public services which sublate aspects of the market. Whats unfortunate though is that a lot of them are shit, not in principle, but in practice, because there is no social/national self-conception.
The japanese for example have universal healthcare, but thats because they are a "people" proper and promote a healthy culture (diet wise), so dont fill up waiting lists and so on. Other cultural things like the unpaid labour of students cleaning their school up or their domestic gerontocracy bypassing needs for pension funds also add to the integral wholeness of their economy. I dont think my country should be like japan, but its always good to learn.
>planification already occurs in the private sphere, what matters is who plans and what for
Uh, sorting accounts isnt "central planning". Its regulation, which is a further sublation of market contradictions. I support regulations, does that make me a commie goon? Be critical.
>>32048
Its exactly what we've been discussing.

The "home" page still says Bunkerchan: https://leftypol.org/

It no longer does.



 

Ok, so here is my rant about the "information culture" on leftypol:
You know what's funny? People on this site who want to strengthen their arguments by sharing links to Youtube videos. No, I will not watch your "educational" video. If you want to convince me, post a link to an article! Yes, text is superior to video. We should actually ostracise people who post here links to Youtube videos. Video is the medium of emotional manipulation, while acquiring information via text is much more analytic and distraction free. Text is pure information, video is a huge neon pile of shit which contains nearly no informational value. In short: Fuck video posters.

text can be emotional and can manipulate info, too

Embeds are good so you don't needlessly waste this website's storage space and bandwidth on your 70 mb mp4s.

>>31885
Speaking of, can the devs expand the embed system? Is it possible to get Twitter embedded as well? I saw on crystal.cafe they have tik tok embeds.

As someone who occasionally links to video to back up my points, I strongly agree that text is preferable.
I guess I have the itch to link to my first source I got the information from, since that is my source in a strict sense. The little bit of effort needed to find something in text that conveys that same point would absolutely be worth it though; from an accessability standpoint, and just having multiple sources is a good practice regardless of medium. If I don't have the energy to do that, I probably shouldn't be having discussions that require linking to sources when I should be resting.

I suppose a comprimize would be to link to an article AND the video you originally got your point from, so the other party can take their pick. Do this enough and you may get most of your opinions originally from text sources, and thus no longer have this issue.
