When Gab is back up, I think we should make a concerted effort to establish a leftist sphere of the site. I don't care if you're a ☭TANKIE☭, an anarchist, or a demsoc. United front, let's fuck their shit up.

Unironically this. The left is going to be purged big time from most social networks.
Nathan Bennett
Ah but communists will surely be allowed to thrive on a site controlled by and for nazis. Indeed, the nazis are our greatest allies in this struggle against feminists and other pink haired creatures.
Brandon Lewis
If you don't think free speech helps the left, then I can't help you. If the nazis are going to be the ones who give us a platform, then so be it.
Jose Morris
Not at all what I said.
They aren't.

Unless we somehow manage to turn the momentum of simple contrarian fanaticism into a ground which can be used for organisation and discussion, this is something that only an idiot could think of. We know that any necessarily-clandestine parts of organising a particular revolutionary movement cannot use public networking sites like this. Gab can only be used to spread propaganda as far as I can see, but we must keep in mind who the kinds of people who flock to the site will be. So who are they? Contrarians, mostly young, some old. They are after an escape from what they identify as being ruling trends of thought. Is it not the same with those reactionaries who are often within a click of us? Do they not see themselves as being up against corrupt swine who assume control of the machines which govern the world, winning or losing, which denies their thought some kind of supremacy? Are they not consciously-identifying with this movement even if they poorly act it out - e.g. as some sort of LARP? Similarly to an infant, they are looking for something to latch onto and identify with. They seek a completely new Other, if not more of the doctrines of the Other which they hold dear. They are looking for adventure, but they do not want more than they bargain for. This is true even of the people who seek to 'gather ideas from all sides' or whatever the hell they say they want to do - something has to be rejected. If Communists are to set up there, they are going to have to demonstrate to them that it is Communism which is the most terrifying and obscene thing by the standards of ruling ideology in all its forms. This terror cannot be highlighted through the kinds of meme formats which we are used to, including many of those which anons over the years have shoved onto Leftybooru and other such sites. We are going to have to somehow demonstrate that if they really are after deep and transgressive change, then they must become Communists.
