163 posts and 49 image replies omitted.>>36852Oh right, I thought from your text you were talking about some other socialist place.
Another great anecdote: There was a guy with a thread for his own epic manifesto that was riddled with typos, like "we shall overcomb" and I corrected a truckload of those. He made several revisions and several threads and I repeatedly told him about the typos and he never fixed them.
But what do I know. Never have I lead a revolution. Perhaps some people should overcomb?
>>36824you are the one who thinks "shit and cum" is cutting edge humor anon
also that supporting bernie sanders is politically incorrect I guess
even in 2015 supporting bernie sanders was cringe due to him being a genocidal zionist but supporting him in 2024 when he's more transparently a libtard is beyond retarded
>>36855You think
>>36822 is an endorsement of Bernie Sanders?
>>36724I see it the other way around, idpol liberalism has been dying and actual opposition to capitalism has straight up gone mainstream
im a newfag, I only started to get into politics after a psychedelic trip this year in which I discovered that "the system" (which I would later discover has a name) is evil and sucks, anyway im happy this website exists, been learning a lot here
>>36858Aww, glad to hear it anon <3
>>36861>>36860Spook, idealism
>was a very active poster from early 2017 on 8ch>sporadically read bunkerchan>lost interest in '22 when the standard for critical thinking seemed to plummet after the Russian invasionfirst time posting on this iteration of /leftypol/, what's changed?
best moments were prob the recurring 2017 lenin hat vs leftcom threads, unironically learned a lot from those debates despite their often vitriolic nature
>>36785>a vulgar anti-SJWexplain
is identitarianism now en vogue on the board?
>oldBOwas a giant retard, basically fucked up the board and its culture
>>36863>first time posting on this iteration of /leftypol/, what's changed?like half the users are either the Russia meat riders or deng beetles
>>36863>is identitarianism now en vogue on the board?No, it's just more critical of excluding topics besides class. It's like how Lenin said about having to over-bend the iron bar to get it back to its proper shape. Back in the day we had to over-correct for tumblr radlibs, but unfortunately some people think it's still 2016 and it's a good idea to deploy 'tactical slurs' to scare away liberals.
>>36865>No, it's just more critical of excluding topics besides class.So it's gone full class collaborationist. No wonder the average post is utter dogshit.
>>36866Uh no? That's not what that means lol. The "multipolarists" are class collaborationists and they are a big chunk of the site, but it's not class collaborationist to tell people to cool it with casual racism and sexism. Are you high? lol
>>36864>real left wing alliance that includes minoritiesthis was always the aim as I understood it
idpol was and is used to derail any class-oriented politics, and unless you have a way of suppressing it I don't think any movement or organisation can succeed in the modern day
>>36865>Russia meat riders or deng beetlesamazing
>it's just more critical of excluding topics besides classso how does it avoid getting subsumed by endless identitarian bickering and oppression olympics? I recon the solution is still a movement that can accommodate or at least utilise both the racist homo worker and the homophobic racial worker
>>36868>so how does it avoid getting subsumed by endless identitarian bickering and oppression olympics?Because it's not 2016 any more and tumblr social justice types have basically discredited themselves. That's just not really part of the discussion unless someone is doing it ironically as a bit.
>I recon the solution is still a movement that can accommodate or at least utilise both the racist homo worker and the homophobic racial workerYeah, and you tell them to cool it with the racism and homophobia because you have class to struggle over.
>>36869fair, let's hope that is the case
>>36868>I recon the solution is still a movement that can accommodate or at least utilise both the racist homo worker and the homophobic racial workerHow can you actually make that movement though? Good people don't want to stand next to people who don't respect them.
>>36871by emphasising the common class struggle, and suppressing identitarian divisions and wrecking
mutually prejudiced people can respect each other as fellow workers in the class struggle
a mass movement can't be based on purity tests
>>36872>suppressing identitarian divisionsIsn't that kind of just the same as enforcing antiracism, antihomophobia, etc?
>>36873The real idpol was bigotry all along.
>>36873in the traditional, pro-universalist sense yes, in the modern, particularist "standpoint epistemological" sense no
>>36874yea no shit, but replacing one identitarianism with another is retarded
>>36867it is the job of communists to help proletarians out of their prejudices with the self development of the class in struggle, but racism or sexism isnt when you dont support interclass movements wholesale lol
>>36864as a communist i am against democracy, anti-fascism, anti-imperialism, decolonization, feminism, intellectuals, national liberation, environmentalism, queer rights, workers' rights, human rights, animal rights, welfare states, green urbanism, reparations to the 'third world', and developmentalism
>real left wing alliancelol well at least you dont call yourself a communist, just explicitly an average leftoid
>>36873racist and sexist attitudes are to be criticized harshly irrespective of where they come from
>>36872communism is a movement of proletarian self interest, not a "mass" movement of "workers"
>>36876Why are you so adamant that communism is not left wing
>>36877for starters, communism is not an ideology
>>36876>but racism or sexism isnt when you dont support interclass movements wholesale lolwtf are you talking about? I'm talking about not letting discrimination slide.
>as a communist i am against democracy, anti-fascism, anti-imperialism, decolonization, feminism, intellectuals, national liberation, environmentalism, queer rights, workers' rights, human rights, animal rights, welfare states, green urbanism, reparations to the 'third world', and developmentalismwow you're so special
>communism is a movement of proletarian self interest, not a "mass" movement of "workers"Proletarians are the working masses in capitalism, so it's both by definition.
>>36876this post glows lmao read marx reactionary cracker
>>1987852
Yeah "tankies" ruined it, right.
I mean would "non-tankies" do anything ever?
I call upon leftypol to be reorganized into a UNION OF SOVIETO-SOCIALIST ANARCHIST IMAGEBOARDS with a federated structure and ME as the chairman of the collective adminium
>>36689a little late to this thread, but my fondest memory was going on a ban evasion jihad against the crazy mutlipolar tankoid 8chan board owner. The overall highlight was evading to snatch an oct get with an image of george bush dancing. This was probably around 2017 or 2018.
>>36886I vaguely remember that and there was another one called Zoltar or something like that
>>36888It's actually not strange at all. They existed long enough to have an impact on regular politics, and now the mainstream right are repeating their talking points. Same thing has happened before.
>>36886*how we got this shitty webseries taken down
jfc, I am such a dyslectic retard
Btw, why we no longer have our online magazine?
We used to have NewMultitude
https://archive.fo/WmSEHand Bunkermundo
https://bunkermundo.wordpress.com/Spectre Rouge
https://archive.is/jrEo2and also Bunker Magazine
https://archive.is/4b7GQ>>36892>We used to have NewMultitudeNew multitude guy said no one was submitting stuff or something. He posted here when he was shutting it down. I think he offered to hand it off to someone but no one wanted it.
>>36829its very surreal looking back on that time, but mostly good memories.
>>36830i (muke) still make videos occasionally, but more of my energy for leftism is directed towards offline things now. i check in on here a couple times a year too, but things have been different for a while now.
>>36887That's not the one we took down though.
We kinda binged that series and laughed at it.
The other Chanel we took down was a fascist theory channel called "cultured thug" or something.
I want to cum inside Rodina
>>36897>We took Cultured Thug downreally? and did he know it was us?
I don't have any, it sounds fun
Can someone explain the relationship between lainchan and here? All I know is that we largely operate off of site code that runs there Does that relationship go back to the old 8chan leftypol days when the bunker was being designed?
