Leftypol non-activity

What is going on tovarishi? Usually interesting debates were ongoing in this Mongolian basketweaving community, but now barely any activity (except for shitposting) is happening. In 1 week there has been barely any new posts in the brexit thread. Venezuela gained some traction, but still not a debate, just short posts about nothing. Why is this happening?
A while ago I had to check the active threads multiple times per day to stay in the debate, now once in 24 hours is too much. Are we at an end?

We Brits arent posting because we don't know what the actual fuck is going on right now.

Both brexit and the coup attempt are up in the air right now with nothing new happening in the realm of the public eye. When there are concrete new developments discussion will go up again.

US posters are staying in the US thread now they've been dragged towards talking about the new dem primary, like good commies, which means less activity on other threads at non-us hours.

Well, I stopped reading at "U.S. ML groups". What a fairy tale, jeez. They are so fringe, that probably less than 1000 US citizens participate in them. And also, they usually like Mao more than Lenin or Marx. Some fuckers in Texas also like chairman Gonzalo, smh.
It is pointless in having a discussion about how ML groups should be organized when said groups barely exist. When you get membership, you start talking about how to run things. Or are 5 weirdos that participate now gonna make the rules, that 50.000+ members will have to follow, when they get them (utopia).
There will be no radical left rising from "somewhere" in the U.S. There is a much more difficult task to do - to drag groups and people to the left from the liberal centrism. Fuckers like "justice democrats", Jill Stein voters and berniebros. Those are the fundaments on which then you would be able to build a ML organisation.

Zig Forums never recovered from BO's 2017 spergout and subsequent banning of hundreds of posters for wrongthink. The influx of new posters from Zig Forums and Reddit isn't enough to regenerate the open discussion and debate that existed here in previous years.

Same for the GJ riots. Frenchanons not updating much and it is hard to see what they are talking about on twitter with foreigners injecting their hot takes on it. Generals where people used their own language to communicate is cancer i swear.


Hundreds?

Informative post, tnx tovarish. But what occured back then in the year of 2017? I wasn't around at that time.

YOU are the foreigner injecting your hot takes, some of us need a break from US-centric politics and actually discuss the countries we live in

BO started mass banning users for voicing support for the Kurds during the Syrian civil war because they are tolerating American troop presence. At that time, threads on the conflict were among the main drivers of traffic because they provided great real-time coverage, even some comrades that were actively involved stopped by. The board was split, post counts dropped and posting in any Syria thread(if there's one) still is a game of Russian roulette until this day.

Bitch I don't live in usa and I just want to eavesdrop.

Also doesn't help that a lot of them were international lads, so they would also talk about other countries and whatnot as well. Generally we lost a lot of our best posters to that mess.

...

Another contentious issue that led to a lot of bans were the wave of protests in Iran. It got to the point that any criticism of Iran (including pointing out that their government is rabidly anticommunist and killed them by the thousands in the 80s) was labelled as CIA propaganda and considered bannable.

mods killed the board by being ban and anchor happy

I've honestly been thinking that we should get rid of the /leftytrash/ thread and be more lenient towards shitposting. We're harming ourselves by excluding these elements. Allowing them is the best way to ensure traffic on our board, and thereby generate quality debate as well.

We can't have quality debate without quality users and they all left. The shitposters in /leftytrash/ won't in any way improve discussion..

I agree. The autists in /leftytrash/ won't be much help. It's the opening up of discussion that would be. Start allowing threads on the YouTube left again. That'll attract more people to our board, and will give intelligent posters most material to work with.

should be

bump. This is a problem that we should be talking about.

we should try to get leftpol to re merge.
The sheer autism, and dialectics about "muh kulak murderin" Stalin, would be wonderful

We should actually do this though. The autism between ☭TANKIE☭s and anarkiddies cannot be resolved by separating them into different boards. You end up with one board dedicated to ☭TANKIE☭s and another to anarkiddies, making the autism much more pervasive. It must be undone.

This is the only way we can move forward, and accept things

R3d fascist mods banned all the good posters.

Democratic socialist master race.

Ok Menshevik

they would probably only come back if there were concessions from moderators about not banning people for heterodox geopolitics

The USA government shutdown forced to cut funding from all the paid shills.
agencies could have had to shut down some of the troll farms completely

Marxism is wrong. The labor theory of value isn't true, and historical materialism isn't true.

Marxism isn't a set of rules to live by. It ainy the Quran or the Vedas

We also used to generate fun memes. I can’t think of the last meme leftypol made, I do see old leftypil memes on leftbook now these days though

Coup the mod team and replace them with a transparent group of normies who don't get triggered by geopolitical opinions on anonymous imageboards, then we'll talk.

I ended up arguing with a NatSynd who insisted until blue in the fingers that the unite the right rallies were a victory for them because allegedly they "won" a few street fights.

Am sorry, comrades. will try and be more active here.

There's the OC thread that's occasionally active, but they only produce garbage.

none of the good memes came from people trying to make memes, we used to have bant and then someone would turn the bant into a meme

for instance the "im coming for that toothbrush whitey" meme originated here and is now widespread. I came about because we were all arguing with this libertardian who insisted communism was about us all sharing toothbrushes.

This is another thing the mods have done, banned all the reactionaries, there was a point where there was daily threads saying reactionaries had come over to our side after arguing with us here and browsing, it also trained posters to hone their anti reactionary arguments.

Now those posters are simply banned and none of this happens. On top of that, there is very little real theory disscussion, in every aspect, discussion of theory, history, memes and bants and general education, this place has become stale, and it all came about because of the one big US military base in Syria split.

basically, the mods ended the dialectic when the dialectic needs to be in motion

We should send ambassadors to 4/pol/ to trick reactionaries into generating more traffic.

mods should be less ban and anchor happy tbh

Is there anyone even really pro-mod or BO anymore?

Is it time for a lurking class revolution?

I've written out a general for this, but I'll only post it if people agree it's a good idea.

– The Zig Forums Ambassador Program –

A lack of dialectic has slowed the traffic on this board down to a halt. In order to remedy this problem, we must establish closer diplomatic ties with other internet communities to enable new cultural exchange and thus spiritually enrich the people of Zig Forums. Inter-ideological dialogue is what makes us strong. Seeing that in this digital age it has become all too easy to insulate yourself from other belief-systems, we must take conscious action to stimulate such conversation.

The purpose of this thread is to send official diplomatic envoys to other internet communities. I suggest that our first target be 4/pol/. The proud people of 4/pol/ are known for their slow wits and sharp edge. Their board moves at a fast pace, making it a relatively harmless subject on which to conduct the first trial of this program.

Zig Forums has always been a borderland between leftist politics and image board culture, the latter of which has now become strongly reactionary. If there is any value to our existence, it is to give the left some grasp on the culture of the alt-right. Without interacting with these reactionaries we cannot fulfill this purpose.
Beyond this there is also the hope that we might teach them something.

These missions aren't exactly "raids." Raids occur when one community storms another with the intention of disrupting it. We do not want to disrupt anything, only enrich the local population with our presence. Our approach should be civil and well-contained. If this disrupts a community it is their own doing.

Likely. This is part of the purpose of the program. Generate new traffic on our board. Reactionaries might not make very good posters, but their posts form a useful baseline of conversation. There's no better way of refining your theoretical understanding of socialism than repeatedly explaining it to a disingenuous critic.
The dumb debates we have with reactionaries also generate great memes.

Not sure yet. That's the first thing this thread will have to figure out. My proposal is that we start an official Zig Forums communist thread on 4chan, and then go from there."

Good post. I agree. Unless you are a NSA fag.

Lol fuck no. Fuck Zig Forums, there's a very good reason people are contained over there. No, it's not just anarchists - most of them are unironic fucking nazbols and other Zig Forums morons, yet the anarchists seem overly friendly with them. All we'll get with the merge are people crying about assad, DPRK and "race realists".

I worded the end poorly, I meant to say that we'll get race realists on top of apologists for imperialism.

get woke nigga(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

This poster should unironically be banned. I'll take anarkiddies from Zig Forums over baitposters like these retards any day of the week, they actually respect & understand Marx if they ever get around to reading him.

People like you are why this board is dead

made by X gang is somewhat widespread but most don't know it started here.

The entire point is a diverse discussion is good you autistic fuck


The nazbol gang meme is like 2 years old now tho

Commence trail stage: phase one immediately comrade

The current mod is banning all wrong think.

how do we lynch the mod?

I'm going to marry a man like 习大大, losers.

Yes such wonderful diversity of thought like:

Nigger hate threads
Jews being jews
Inceldom and virginity
I.Q retardation
Marx being a jew
Communism being a jewish creation
White gen.ocide
Nazbol shit

No thanks laddy. You can keep your garbage.

...

Those are the fundaments on which then you would be able to build a ML organisation.
