This board is a successor to https://bunkerchan.xyz/ which will continue to operate under the management of Space and their remaining/new moderators. We wish them the best of luck for the future despite our differences.

BRIEF RUNDOWN

In short, /leftypol/ has split due to drama which essentially boils down to a dispute over server access on Bunkerchan. We, the /leftypol/ moderation team, have been forced to leave by Space, who removed our moderator rights due to our decision to stand together in solidarity rather than allow Space to demand the removal of certain mods who he viewed as primarily responsible for behind the scenes efforts to try to force him to give us the power to keep the site running and to improve it beyond its current state. Therefore, we have decided to activate our own clone of /leftypol/ which we have been preparing in case of this eventuality. We do not welcome this split or take it lightly but from our perspective it has been forced upon us. We are now working to make this site feature complete and to progress ever further.

A full outline of the history of the dispute and current events (as well as our next steps) is below if you would like to do the extra reading.

BACKGROUND

To briefly outline the problems that we have been having, they most importantly concern access to the server side of the side. At present, nobody other than Space has ultimate control over the site and Space is still required to approve any serious code changes (IE ones other than those that can be made by site staff). This is a relatively normal state of affairs of course, but the problem is that Space is not always available when we need him and has intermittent periods of what I can only call disinterest in the site.

Often, it has been difficult to get him to approve simple fixes to the site which are urgently needed to keep it running or else bring it back when it does break. Many of the technical issues (not all, but some) that we have had to deal with since the migration of /leftypol/ to Bunkerchan have been due to Space not taking the time to implement fixes which have been suggested by our tech team. When the changes do not directly affect the stability of the site, it is often even harder to get Space’s attention.

For example, Space’s approval was needed to make changes to the board headers to add new boards which has led to long delays in adding new boards to the topbar, and other changes. Often, when we the mod team have seemed to dally in adding new features it is because of the difficulty with getting approval for changes. This can often take weeks, which sadly makes us look unreliable and hampers our flexibility as a board.

The clear solution to this issue was for Space to share his server access with the highest members of our technical staff so that they could push through changes themselves. For months, Space promised to do so but would never deliver, or would add on unreasonable demands to his original agreement. For example, when Comrade King, former admin of /GETchan/, agreed to merge his site with Bunkerchan, it was agreed that Space would give him server access, but this was never done. Later on Space demanded that King share a scan of his driver’s licence as ‘verification’ which he found unacceptable. The tension between /GET/’s staff and Space has contributed to their decision to try to once again leave the site, unfortunately.

In addition, Space agreed to give server access to Comrade_Rat who has been the main technical contributor on our staff and is someone Space knows personally. Rat was part of the Bunkerchan staff before /leftypol/ moved to the site in the wake of 8chan’s demise. Due to Rat’s presence and willingness to work with us since the migration we would have been happy with this, but as stated, Space stonewalled this and promised it would be done while never doing so. I (Caballo) eventually personally pressed Space on this matter as can be seen in the attached screenshots but he refused to back down.

One of the key issues regarding server access was our dissatisfaction with our board’s software, Lynxchan. This software is difficult in many ways and our technical staff ultimately decided that it would be better to switch to new board software rather than try to fix something they felt was fundamentally an inferior option. Many of the peculiar issues of the site which we have been asked to fix have been caused by Lynxchan’s deficiencies. To that end, our technical staff have been working on custom software, Gochan, but in the interim, we wanted to switch to the more established Lainchan software. However, this process would be realistically impossible to complete without server access.

As a side issue, Space used his status as site owner to override our decisions about the site, telling us what we could and could not do and ignoring our own voting when he disagreed. Of particular concern was the question of funding the site and of monetisation. We of course recognised that Space was bearing the financial burden of hosting the site, and we are still grateful for him doing so, but our suggestions for collecting donations in an organised manner to make the ownership of the site more ‘community based’ or democratic were brushed off.

THE CONSPIRACY

Eventually, we decided that we had no other option than to create a backup plan as trust in Space had dropped so low. We felt that we could not continue to put in so much work when our efforts were undone by Space’s inaction. At the time we embarked on this plan, it was common to not be able to talk to Space for weeks at a time. We knew that ultimately Space could not be forced to hand over control of the site to anyone, so we endeavoured to make our own site which we had control over, both as a contingency plan in case we were removed from moderating /leftypol/ by Space, and as a bargaining chip to show Space that we were serious about our demands.

This site will be hosted at leftypol.org , a domain which was given to us by the former owner of the /leftypol/ splinter site at that address. Our technical staff have worked hard to enable us to import the content of bunkerchan.xyz to that site at the moment of our potential departure, so that our board’s topics and discussions are not lost as was the case when 8chan closed. In effect, we have set up a contingency so that our tenure as the mod team of /leftypol/, and the experience of the users of /leftypol/ and related boards, can continue without much disruption. We have also changed the board software to Lainchan to enable a smoother experience for the users.

It took us months to set up this site, during which time we hid it from Space, as we feared his potential reaction. We knew that Space could, if he so chose, remove us as moderators of /leftypol/ and install others, which we felt would be potentially ruinous. That sounds a bit egocentric, I admit, but the drama involving the rogue admin Pyongyang, who Space initially supported over all of us, convinced us that if we were removed, /leftypol/ would likely be taken in an ideological direction we would find unacceptable.

To emphasise, Pyongyang was not merely part of a different leftist sect, as our mod team comprises a wide range of tendencies, but was arguably a full blown reactionary that reverted our actions in secret while creating a /troon/ board that was set to become a haven for idpol and stupidpol-esque rhetoric. Pyongyang eventually stepped down on his own when it became clear that he was not enjoying the support of the users, with Space refusing to take action to remove him.

During these last months we have run the site as usual and attempted to hide the tension between us and Space (though it has been noticed occasionally by some users). In the past month or so, Space has become more involved with the site for personal reasons, which we viewed as a welcome development. We always hoped that we would eventually we able to reason with Space and convince him to hand over access to the site to us, and it made solving routine issues much easier for him to be involved. That said, we continued work on the backup site.

THE SPLIT

Recently, Space was approached by a person on Twitter who asked if he could be given ownership over the hidden board, /dead/. Space agreed to this without consulting us, which we viewed as an overreach. While it is true that /dead/ was on the site before /leftypol/ was, we the /leftypol/ mods have taken over 95% of the day to day running of the site in the time since migration. The vast majority of activity on Bunkerchan has taken place in the relatively short time since we have moved here.

To make a long story short, our opposition made Space suspicious and led to him discovering the existence of our conspiracy. Space had arranged a closed meeting between the admins of the site, and was stonewalling communications with us. This led to a group of the moderators deciding to make the split public with the original version of this post. We originally predicted that following this meeting there was a possibility that the board could be taken out of our hands and given to outside actors, which turned out to be the case. Space was not interested in negotiation and demanded the removal of four mods who had been involved in the conspiracy including an admin. In addition, he would only give server access to a ‘loyalist’ admin who was rarely involved with /leftypol/ since the migration.

We, the moderators of /leftypol/, decided we would not be divided and conquered by Space and stood together in solidarity. Therefore, Space removed around 20 moderators who were members of the conspiracy, along with a few new mods who were not aware of it. Therefore, we have decided to continue our tenure at leftypol.org and we hope that you will join us on this journey, though it will ultimately be up to you. This was not the outcome that anyone wanted and it is not the one that we wanted. This site is not ready for use in many ways and we are aware of its current limitations, but our hand was forced by an infiltrator revealing the full extent of our planning to Space. Perhaps there will be some reconciliation in future but at present we have to assume that will not happen.

MOVING FORWARD

Our first priority will be to bring this site up to feature parity with bunkerchan and to make the user experience similar. We still have a long way to go in this respect and we are aware of the many missing features and conveniences that have not been carried over. The technical team is working hard to improve the site as quickly as they can while the other mods work on non-coding tasks. Eventually we will try to surpass bunkerchan by adding features which have been requested for many months.

Secondly, we will determine the status of /GET/ and /ref/. Their administration is currently convening to decide whether they will remain on Bunkerchan, move to this board, or move to their own bunker at GETchan.net. They have unfortunately been suffering their own split which is partly attributable to the situation on Bunkerchan, and we hope it will come to an amicable conclusion for everyone. We wish the /GET/ community success wherever they choose to reside.

Thirdly, we want to create a more open and community-centred style of moderation and decision making. We will host a public monthly discussion with each other and the userbase where we discuss the running of the board, what is working well and what might not be, changes we wish to see, new priorities and plans, and so on. The first of these should happen soon so that we can gather feedback about the current situation.

Fourth, we need to consider our current situation and what we could do differently in the future. As I outlined above, this outcome was not what anyone wanted and we need to try to make more harmonious decisions in future. We should never allow ourselves to be put into the situation which occurred on Bunkerchan again, where we are at the mercy of one person. To that end, we are going to explore the best ways to share power and responsibility among the administration/moderation team and perhaps even the users as we experiment with direct democracy.

Fifth, we will try to explore ways to end the current split. We know it is not a positive development and we understand that it hurts our community. To this end, we will attempt to retain positive relations with Bunkerchan as part of a unified webring, and examine possible diplomatic solutions to the split. We are open to a reconciliation but of course there are terms that we would expect to be met and of course Space and the new administration of Bunkerchan is likely to have their own conditions. For now, we have both agreed to leave a sticky advertising each other’s boards in our respective /leftypol/s.

Finally, we will update our manifesto and rules to reflect the new situation. This will be a relatively simple but time consuming effort and is not a priority. For now we would ask users to simply use their common sense, rules that refer to ‘bunkerchan’ should be read as applying to ‘leftypol.org’, and so on.

I would like to once again thank you all for your patience in the current times. We will try to modify this topic to keep updated with current events.

With love, the moderation team

Why did you do it in secret? That's a retarded way to do it. Of course space_ would retaliate and of course the userbase would consider this an overreach. You should have suggested this plan in the open, on /leftypol/, not after you got busted. Good intentions pave the path to hell.

Anyway, I hope you get this place running quickly, because once /pol/ gets wind of this, they will raid bunkerchan and it won't be pretty since there is no moderation now anymore.

So you actually literally want to turn the place into reddit? What is the point. The whole idea of leftypol was as the looser leftist board. Literally nobody will come here, if you ban them, they will go to the bigger site.

Mods, you are going to have to attract people here, and that means making it appealing, you are not going to get this by banning either reactionary or liberal idpol.

I hope you understand this, and I hope you also understand the mistakes you have made, and that truly, if you want this board to be better than that one, you have to come up with a robust system of properly engaging the userbase

we're slowly but steadily getting up to par with the old lynxchan tech(which was a nightmare to work with and now 6+ can work on it instead of 1 going through space).

Once that's out of the way it'll be a competition to who can make a more pleasing user experience. Even if leftypol remains behind in users, it will still fill a niche of a backup board. Then its a waiting game of space fucking up like he has countless times.

what we need now is someone to use that mobile app to make this place compatible with phone users. its likely going to be one of the last things the engineers focus on and rightfully so. but in the meantime someone should be able to quickly make leftypol compatible with that app. I don't think it was overchan, there's a newer one

I would incorporate a simple random number generator into the time increments for my ballot stuffing script and for each vote attempt pull randomly from a multinomial distribution targeting the results I want the poll to have.

I don't understand it either. I don't think any of the mods did anything to piss space_ off. When he was pushed by caballo on the question of why he wouldn't give up the site, his answer was that he wanted someone neutral in control of leftypol (himself).
Comrade_rat who considered himself a good friend of space_ was the one who was supposed to get root access for a whole year until space_ couldn't postpone it anymore, so he suddenly decided he needed ID to do it. And they had actually met in real life before.

We plan to continue our original moderation line that was successful on Bunkerchan. I believe that the looser stance that is likely to result from our departure will be detrimental in the long run.

silicon valley types drool over every new shiny thing. Mongo was such an obvious no go. I was once in a project that cost millions of dollars. Every year it was 3 millions on salaries alone. The cost to run it was around 100k a month, and that was before it was actually released. I left like ~6 months before the project shut down. It lasted around 3 years. Crazy shit. I tried to tell them mongo was a terrible choice, but I was only a junior and was told to shut up.

I think it's fair to say the quality of bunkerchan has reached it's absolute low point. There hasn't been a single good post in the entire day and most threads are shitposting/bait threads ("WHY ARE AMERICANS LIKE THIS" that's basically just a thread about posting mutt memes, a neoliberal schizo rant about Russia, a thread consisting of nothing but the songtext of Rocky Road to Dublin, a Xi = Winnie the Pooh thread, two threads about Chapo Trap House and one about Cum Town, etc.).

tbh this is just cope since left imageboards were always the intersection between reddit radlibs and barely reformed polyps. its kindof always been that even though i admit the vaushites are an extra level of retardation on top of that, at least /r/socialism or /r/communism claims to read theory and isn't socdem, their only problem is IDPOL whereas vaushites are idpozzed and also theorylet and socdem to boot

first post here. ngl i was pro staying on bunkerchan because splits are gay. But after reading this it makes sense, site also has to keep freshin. So now the only deciding factor for me is which site looks better and has better quality discussion/culture/atmosphere. All up the the codemonkey arms race, good luck mods I would rather pick cotton than code.

True, there is no discussion about the fact that those are the two demographics that would come to an imageboard, reddit is not gonna come, Twitter is not gonna come. However, when /leftypol/ peaked shortly before the split on 8chan, there was always a solid stem of a userbase that would be able to deal with both still reactionary recovering /pol/yps as well as with radlibs and that didn't lean either way. Right now this solid core of a userbase has been so thinned out to the point where you have 3-4 recovering /pol/yps, 3-4 Vaushites but only the same amount of principled, communist posters in thread. This is a problem and due to the former two groups being very crass and naturally provocative, they wrest most of the current posting chains out of the hands of the userbase. Moderation is of course completely incompetent and doesn't know what's happening around them.

I'm sorry, if I'm walking into a thread and want to contribute to a topic and write down my thoughts, and I'm seeing that one half of thread is arguing that NATO is actually good and the other half is ranting about Jews and women (I'm embellishing here a bit), then that's not my /leftypol/ anymore but then again - it perfectly encapsulates the edgy memelord character of space_ and his "idea" or lack thereof in terms of running an Imageboard.

Not very precise I know but it's not a dozen people talking to each other.
It's hard to gauge, some people post once every 3 days but lurk constantly, others log on ten minutes every day and always post, some people post every hour they're not sleeping.

that nobody insisted and put any weight into the demand to not only demote but remove pyongyang entirely was already telling of the things to come.
it's an issue i've had with leftypol for the longest time, you are giving these people the benefit of a doubt and handle them as if they acted in good faith, and that has not changed, and never will, i have no illusions about that.

I'm mostly just angry at all the people that suggest there should be some compromise between space_ and moderation, with the justification that it is more about the community before anything else. What they seem to forget, however, is that "the community" of chans is defined as much by moderation as it is by who post on it, because the moderation exist as a decider as what is allowed into the community to begin with. This is why we've seen such an uptick of reactionaries with space_'s coup, and the suggestion that there should be any compromise given the circumstances honestly baffles me. We can't even reliably just "return to normal" by reinstating the mods and keeping space_ where he is, because he just demonstrated the lengths he will go to in order to remain in power. He's an opportunistic rat, and anyone working with him is ultimately a traitor to the culture cultivated on /leftypol/.

Hiensight is always 20/20 but when things are happening and decisions have to be made what's correct is always not so black and white. If you were trying to keep a community of over 600 people from being destroying that you have put your time and labor into what would you do given that situation? That is something I am sure all of the staff can relate too. The reactionaries could have been purged and things could return to a more normal state. The only issue ever was space himself. The sad fact is while, yes, migrating is possible we are just going to loose members in a migration no matter what. That is the sad truth. We are going to start at around 200 members, again (probably less than that) and there is no guarantee that we will bounce back. There are so many different factors to take into account here and that isn't even touching on issues not related to the community. People are afraid of getting doxxed and swatted space has destroyed friendships hes had with people and all kinds of shit. And for what? to maintain his power over some Albanian knitting forum? It's something that is easier said that done. I know at first glance this stuff can seem trivial, or, meaningless, but, keep in mind our space on leftypol is the final space like this on the entire internet. The actions we take right now can mean the difference between our continued existence, or, not. For people that have been on leftypol for years and years and have interacted with this community and formed relationships and ties and bonds with the anons in it this is not something that can just be hand waved away. Not to mention that for the broader expansion of the left we are the only alternative voice in a sea of liberals polluting the movement with their puritanical politics.

Considering that this site remains unfinished, and the community largely remains on bunkerchan, it is logical to put talk of a split behind us. We are already in a webring, attempting to try and divide users up between us only hurts the community. leftypol.org remains our backup.

Space has stepped down from managing the site, and given me root access on the server. Changes are being made to improve the site - for example establishing the onion server. I also plan to add coma as a user with server access to help making changes in the future.

Those mods interested in resuming their duties can do so. It doesn't serve anyone by creating antagonisms between the sites except to feed egos. For those concerned about spam, already today we have added three new moderators.

Mods already have power to decide how the site is run with the discretionary power they wield in moderating - and as any ordinary user can attest, this power wasn't always used to make the site better.

The only way to eliminate the issue of ego is to not have a community of mods to begin with, much like was the case on 8chan. There can be no separate, alienated, community of mods distinct from the users, or else we will simply arrive here again. We are nobodies. /leftypol/ doesn't belong to me, or the mods. The community is beyond all of us. The project isn't for us to decide, we are here, voluntarily, to do one thing and one thing only: create a platform for the /leftypol/ community.

yeah, i trust you and space_ as far as i can throw you. As long as space_ has ownership of the domain and the web server there's no guarentee he won't simply do this again. he has total power and whatever happens is only at his pleasure. no thanks
>Space has stepped down from managing the site
means absolutely nothing because he never "managed" the site to begin with, he still owns the domain and the servers and had the jannies slave away for him. literally nothing has changed.

Democracy isn't a a procedure, or a set of rules by where decisions are done via vote. Democracy is nothing more or less than rule of the working class.

Idealist drivel. Imageboards are managed by real people who put real hours and have to take real decisions that can impact a whole site and board culture. What D011ars proposes is to hide this social process, to depoliticise it (like a good liberal) as opposed to us who want to make this transparent and as democratic as possible by assuming the political nature (instead of hiding it) of managing a LEFTIST imageboard. It seems, that d011ars thinks he's at the head of an anime imageboard circa 2005.
Whether you "anonymise" mods doesn't change the nature of the material reality of how a moderated anonymous imageboard is administered and the relationship between the users, the moderation and the legal owner of the server.

I remember when Caballo came into the leftybritpol stream on UK election night and accused all the regulars of betraying socialism for talking about Lexit and thus tanking Corbyn's chance of becoming PM with their awful anti-EU rhetoric. In reality Labour lost almost entirely in Brexit voting areas and the people behind the position to have another vote on the EU were Blairite wreckers. Users constantly tried to defuse the situation and Caballo would lash out at them as being personally responsible for the collapse of Corbyn's election campaign, after they had endured years of abuse from the entire establishment for backing him.
Caballo is hated by almost every bong on leftypol, he's a piece of shit in my opinion. Even me and my friends that were in that stream (which had hundreds of users) shit talk him in person when leftypol comes up, that's how much of a cunt he was, he constantly lashed out at people trying to diffuse the situation and move on with vitriol and scorn. He's a fucking cunt who blamed the collapse of the UK left on the people working towards its victory tirelessly and thanklessly through constant slander and defamation, on the night they were destroyed, because he loves the neoliberal authority known as the EU so much.
It has very little to do with him being a furry. He only cares about himself. He's everything wrong with the UK, he's a fucking piece of shit.

I agree with this sentiment, if they could argue in good faith they wouldn't be fascists in the first place. A problem is that if we don't allow them to post as fascists, they will pretend to be something else to be allowed to post. So you end up with "Stalinists" claiming the doctors plot was based conspiracy against jews, or "anarchists" posting Bakunin's and Proudhon's rants against jews.
I think it's possible to talk sense to some of them, though only a small minority, and I think it's easier to do so when you force them to be civil. And every fascist we talk sense to is someone we don't have to kill later down the line.

and what degree of fascists can we convert vs the amount of other sensible people we drive away by being host to them? the logistics of trying to convert reactionaries is nonsensical, especially post-8chan where reactionaries have only gotten more and more detached from reality and radicalized towards individualist violence and lone wolf terrorism. whatever the benefits of hosting fascism is ends up being lesser than if we took a principled and total stand against fascism and purposefully rooted out fascists trying to pretend they are elsewise. After all, did the KPD try to reason with fascism as it grew in the streets? No, they let fascist blood fill the streets as they took up arms against it. Did the Spanish leftists try to hold dialog with Franco and his goons? No, they were executed wherever they could be found, be they soldiers or clergymen. Did the Soviets try reproachment with the White Army in the aftermath of the civil war? No, the leaders were slaughtered and the rest were thrown into work camps. Trying to hold dialog with fascists is the tactics of leftist like Allende: unmitigated failures by all counts, Castro begged him to take up arms against the fascists to save his leftist project from them, but he did not and was destroyed for it. The same is true here and now, we must drive out the fascist threat wherever it is found or face subversion and destruction for it!

One of the things you guys miss is that fascists have an ideologically warped class consciousness, meaning that they don't tie corruption, media manipulation, indebtedness, etc. to systemic causes but personify these via the image of the "Jew". Pic v. much rel. In my experience ex-fascist, ex-nationalist, etc. are rarely converted, but when they do, they become better communists and faster than the liberal converts, for the simple reason that they only had a kind of warped sense of antagonism, while libs tend to have a completely moralist outlook ("can't we just have less inequality?") and rarely can be moved beyond Bernie/Corbyn-tier shit. Also, fascists, nationalists, libertarians, etc. have a liking of militarism which would be absolutely essential for any kind of real revolutionary movement, while libs tend to be pacifists.

In a sense right-extremists when down deeper down the rabbit hole taking a position morally frowned upon by society, unlike the lib who'll remain at the very top layers of "socially/morally acceptable" position.

It explained the shift that needs to take place in a former fascist's head. You have to help him transform his irrational anger (aimed at jooz, etc.) to rational anger (aimed at the class that actually causes his misery). I'd add another point here. One reason why fascists hate libs is that they have this enlightened pacifist attitude that scorns anger as such, while the fash have very legitimate reasons to be angry, they just misdirect it at the aforementioned.

For them these people are duped by le jooz. Remove the "puppet master" ideologeme with a rational systemic explanation where, for example, advertisements aren't including mixed couples just looking for a larger targeted audience for profit's sake, and their anger directed at people on the same level of the class hierarchy he's on will progressively disappear. You also need to explain to them how porky used racism for centuries to divide the working classes and how liberal idpol achieves the same.

Can be a plethora of reasons.

We were listening. Just because we didn't always agree with you does not mean we weren't. We were anonymously part of all the debates concerning how the site should be run, agreeing and disagreeing with each other as well. It's just a lot more complicated than "just listen to le people".

>If you have an idea for how we could do a heckin based democracy for anonymous users that couldn't be tampered with by a few dedicated polyps with a VPN, then I'm all ears.
as i've said before on this issue, no I don't think you can have a heckin democacerino for the reasons you have stated. However, you could adopt a mass line strategy of sorts. By the way as I've said several times, in my opinion things were getting better with you guys, I'm sure you've noticed I complain a lot less. I do believe that you do listen, just there is no process in place for you to really hear and so much bad faith stuff flies around its difficult to know what you can trust. Honestly, and I'm not just saying this cos its one of my positions, but it would be a lot easier to have some kind of posters union you guys could then be in constant contact with, if we were allowed our own off board communications etc. If you want more thoughts in this area I can give them, but basically, you need to set up, or allow the posters to set up themselves, institutions which are designed to represent the interests of the posters, whom you can then be in contact with. These institutions, provided you guys trust the leaders, and you can see all our post history so it should be easy to tell good or bad faith, can then be your reference point. For example, I think most of you mods know by now I'm not trying to wreck the board I want to make it better. Whether of not we agree on how to do that is immaterial, you can clearly see I am at the very least posting in good faith. You can use your position as mods to validate this claim, and therefore somebody in my position could run a riot room where user interests are discussed and relayed, with a leadership trusted by both mods and users that could root out bad faith actions themselves without the political implications of mods being able to get rid of union members. I'm not suggesting I become this person, merely an example, I imagine so kind of election from the userbase of mod validated i.e. post history verified and nothing more, pool of candidates would suffice for this. Although initially probably there should not really be an election for this, as we cannot instantly create elections which cannot be subverted, I have more ideas in this area also if you would like to listen.

also tbh your suggestions tend to be retarded because they are made without consideration of how such things are organized, who gets included, ect. smaller communities like /GET/ have and literally just did exercise a board-wide democratic decision in leaving bunkerchan permanently after continued consultation and debate between them for a solid week but that was done through mechanisms of people directly knowing each other because it was small and also IP checking to make sure people weren't trying to inflate a position. /leftypol/ is much larger and can't reliably do something like that without an external mechanism like matrix (which they went with) because it allows for a way to vet posters to know who they are and consult their opinion.

in addition, your ideas tend to be at best vague (calling things "institutions" without specifying their construction or mechanisms of internal debate is peak meme) and generally lack real popular support and only really get advocated by you specifically, and because you constantly fucking shill these ideas and namefag people generally come to dislike you, especially when you double and triple down on some sort of legitimacy you are supposed to have because you are an oldfag or whatever. for your reverence of democracy, you seem to have little regard for it when it sides against your ideas. and when it does turn against you, you accuse everyone of being a janny, as you've done with me and others not only here but also on bunkerchan.

You missed the point that I was illustrating: communities can come to different democratic solutions based on their size and participation, /GET/ has just managed to take on what most people envision as the "best" democratic position for board governing because of their tight-knit community.
As for "little subversion", there was actually attempts to interfere with /GET/'s internal processes by space_'s agents including another namefag called NKvD and some others, but since recognition of other posters was easy for them, they could easily out them as outsiders trying to interfere. This isn't necessarily hard-locked by size, it more comes down to proportional levels of participation as the board grows so people's positions are known, or failing that coalitions of political ideas are formed as a way to generally represent shared ideas between numerous people in larger communities. The way /GET/ generally does things is not necessarily out of the question for /leftypol/, we just need greater user engagement in a political system which has platforms which can be used to platform ideas of how the site should advance and how we should moderate and the like.
>Are you actually retarded or are you just pretending not to understand what I am saying?
Matrix wasn't a suggestion, it was an illustration of one way to do it, and indeed as I said one way that we've already tried to do it. The problem is, there isn't much engagement or organization on it, which makes current implementation lacking. This is why trying to canvas opinions on the main board is a good idea in abstract: growing interest in how the site is managed in a place where everyone already is can be used to get people elsewhere, like the currently standing Matrix.
>i've described in some detail in the above post,
Lord help us if that is what you consider detailed.
>based on your opinion and your opinion alone kek
No, at least generally I've seen more people angered or at least disliking of your presence and long-winded posts which somehow manage to have little content or perspective than just myself. Hell, the reason we had to move the moderation thread to /gulag/ in the past was at least partially because of you constantly filling it with stuff nobody cared about or actively disagreed with and ending up flooding the thread, twice in a row.
>you mean I offer my opinion
You offer your opinion and pretend it is fact or how things must be when most of us either don't care because we aren't engaged in how the site is currently run as long as it does run or we tend to disagree with your opinions or find them wholly lacking.
>no you just accused me of being a newfag which I am definitely not
Not everyone who disagrees with you is a single person. I don't care how new or old you are, you still suffer from all that I've outlined thus far.
>give one single example
You constantly accuse people of being jannies or literally just a single poster if they disagree with your posts or ideas, since like our first days of being in bunkerchan. Likewise when there has been consensus to crack down on reactionaries further you've called people all manner of counter-revolutionaries and wreckers and cloaked your own arguments in some vague revolutionary language, equating posters to the proletariat and organizations of or by them unions and the like. Basically trying to use ideology as a cudgel to dismiss criticisms or parallel ideas which contradict yours.
>its difficult to tell and you are simping very hard for board users not having an input into the board
The jannies ITT are literally promoting ideas for user engagement with the board lmao, we generally agree with their ideas because of the limitations of the conditions of the board as-is and find your ideas at best flowery and idealistic and at worse very unaware of the actual levels of investment of the userbase in the actualization of the site's power and unaware of how hamstrung a lot of posters are by orthodoxy.

Suboptimal, but it's still an advance from streetfighting charade like proud boys vs. anteefa.

I didn't interact with many "red-brown alliance" fascists, there's not that many around, but I haven't seen this argued by them. What I've met two specimen of were unironic "red-brown alliance" communists whose position was basically penalizing (not eradicating) homosexuality. So even the worst kind of commies are not willing to go with the fash plan. But we are talking about a hypothetical here - what would happen in a rev. situation where people start getting killed, which is to say long removed from the original topic: under what conditions (if any) should fascists be allowed to post here. This is one of the ways this discussion gets derailed, focusing on what they "want," instead of focusing on the now and the actual political power they hold.

>you still have the central liberal misconception of there being some kind of marketplace of ideas

No, I don't.

>people can be reasoned [with]

This I do believe, but this isn't the same as your previous point. This black dude personally deradicalized something like a 100 KKK members and shut down several branches of them by reasoning with them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj-4Q416C8w To say that it's impossible is just counter-factual.

>politics is a game of personal material and ideological interests which give people a defenitive set of ideologies

I agree, it ultimately boils down to this, but your multimillionaire racists like Ford, p-bourg racists like alt-right influencers, etc. have completely different class interests than your prole fascists. That's why the latter group still can be reasoned with. They are duped, they hold a position that goes against their objective class interests.

>most fash are petite-bouj

Not really. The most visible one are, the influencers are, but the wast majority are either lumpen-proles or proles.

>they are the least likely to become communist by all historical measurements

Lumpen proles and p-bourgs, definitely. The former became brown shirts in Germany, the latter party apparatchik for the nazis. Prole fash? Nope. Fascists don't give a shit about the proles, 3 years into Hitler's rule it was obvious to all workers, among them fascists, that they were fucked over.

I'm not here for definitions. Radlibs aren't communist proper either, and I'm pretty sure that fascists proper think the same about "red-brown alliance" fascists, and that radlibs/centrists think everyone else is "totalitarian".

>He didn't reason with him, he made emotional appeals to them

It was a mixture of both. If by reasoning you mean "spread epic theory" he didn't reason, but that's not the level these KKK people are on, now are they? Questions like "are all white people good?" followed by the obvious answer and then the follow up question "then why do you think all black people would be good?" is reasoning with these people.

>Never had that substantiated

Demographics. 90% of the population are wage earners, 9% are managerial stratum and p-bourg (etc.), 1% porky proper. Even if you argue that p-bourgs appear at a higher % among fascists (which is a reasonable claim), there's absolutely no way the wast majority of them aren't proles or lumpen proles, because then they'd lack a mass basis.

If "maybe don't lynch people" constitutes "epic theory" then yes, that is what I meant by reasoning with them. They are predisposed towards violence directed at easily manageable targets, they always tend to punch downwards and thus break apart any basis for proletarian unity. It's an inherent cowardice and deference for authority which drives them, and even outside of being pathological reactionaries it tends to color their worldview, you see them apply that same rationale even after they stop being reactionaries because while they were incentivized by friendship to stop being reactionaries they still carry that same internal logic. You don't have the same issue with your average liberal or normy, thus they can more easily be brought onto a communist cause.
>Demographics
If you think that many proles have time to shitpost on the internet all day then you are mistaken, I believe. Petite-bouj inherently have more time for frivolous pursuits like spending all day on the internet, so they inherently make up a good deal of actual users of it, at least on the level of output of comments and posts.

Where did I disagree with this characterization? You are preaching to the choir here, but this is a sociological and psychological characterization that mostly hold true. Mostly. And it is in a way and to a point avoiding class analysis.

>you see them apply that same rationale even after they stop being reactionaries because while they were incentivized by friendship to stop being reactionaries they still carry that same internal logic.

First point: I didn't concede to your point about that black dude merely being "friendly towards them". I reasserted my point that he did, in fact, use basic logic on them, i.e. rationality. You conveniently sidestep my point again, and repeat your claim. Boring…

Second: if you watch this black dude's talks he pretty convincingly emphasizes that these people were changed for life. They didn't regress or kept having these psychological/ideological structures. It's a process, like with everything. Your claim that somehow fascists are a special kind of animal literally incapable of change reeks of pure ideology from miles away, as if your kneejerk response to them claiming that >>we<< are üntermensch is to just say "no, >>u.<<" These are funny memes, but don't hold up in reality, and result in idiotic antifa v. proudboy idiocies.

>You don't have the same issue with your average liberal or normy

Again, you intentionally dismiss my previous points. It is literally the same with libs. They might not be authoritarians, but they have their typical pathologies as well.

>they can more easily be brought onto a communist cause.

Big if true. (May I remind you about my previous point: bernie-fag =/= communist.)

>If you think that many proles have time to shitpost on the internet all day

Loaded proposition. Proles definitely post. You can see a lot of wagie cage, fuck my job, etc. type posts on /biz/ and /pol/ too. As for "all day," well, a lot of desk jobs have the "luxury". You are trying to say here that only neets can become fascists or chan posters.

>they inherently make up a good deal of actual users of it

Okay, so if 50% of fascist posters are neet and p-bourg, and the other 50% are proles and lumpen-proles, then what makes you focus on the former group while denying the latter's existence? Or is it 60-40%? 70-30%? 80-20%? I'm sorry, but I'm not willing to give up any demographic category that contains proles, and your arguments so far just amount to calling them "icky" and mirroring their dehumanization back at them.

In other words memes fried your brain. The black dude btw mentiones again and again that he never seen such a hard working group as the regular KKK member. Makes you think, dunnit, when a person who met like a thousand KKK-fags thinks that they are hard workers?

What, that logic could not avail and that emotional appeal had to be used for there to be any way to use logic to begin with? Are we supposed to chit-chat every odd fascist, many of whom directly disagree with our very existence and might well literally kill us for it, just so we might have an off-chance of de-radicalizing them? That sounds like an exceptionally retarded thing to ask of people to follow this man's tactics. And mind, this man has gone on to say that people shouldn't try to do what he does because it is dangerous to them.
>First point: I didn't concede to your point about that black dude merely being "friendly towards them". I reasserted my point that he did, in fact, use basic logic on them, i.e. rationality.
I am glad you have your sample size of all one dude deradicalizing fascists but believing this is some standard pattern we should use as a basis is deliberately retarded. Likewise - emotional appeals (which, by the person you use as an example, must be used!) cannot be as easily done through the internet as they can irl because people can't just log off irl like they can online. If a fascist somehow gets emotionally pressed here they can just run off to /pol/ to get affirmament for how based it is to hate niggers.
>Second: if you watch this black dude's talks he pretty convincingly emphasizes that these people were changed for life. They didn't regress or kept having these psychological/ideological structures.
Changed for life doesn't mean they have all dropped their pathological impulses, they are things that can take years to undo. They are as deep-seated as things like PTSD because they are as much of a coping mechanism for a shitty life caused by a lack of meaning as they are just a useful tool for porky. Maybe some got over it easier than others, but it is no surefire thing that some chit-chat will make it go away. Especially online, where, again, people can just log off if their existing biases are being challenged.
>Boring…
Funny, you are the same way to me. I've heard liberals itterate this argument often to how we shouldn't crack down on reactionary "thought" and encourage free peach and the like, but liberals are always inconsiderate to the personal danger reactionaries pose when it comes to these things.
>It is literally the same with libs.
Libs have their own pathology but it is not nearly as disastrously bad and fundamentally antithetical to leftism. Indeed, liberals can be somewhat predisposed towards leftist ideas, like I was as a lib.
>Big if true. (May I remind you about my previous point: bernie-fag =/= communist.)
Many of us were once liberals, not just reactionaries. In fact I would say a majority of us were once just liberals, the minority seem to be ex-fash.
>You can see a lot of wagie cage, fuck my job, etc. type posts on /biz/ and /pol/ too
You don't think that… someone would lie on the internet, would you?
>I'm sorry, but I'm not willing to give up any demographic category that contains proles
If that is your line then fine, but know it contradicts the ideas of Marx, Engles, Lenin, and most socialist thinkers. Don't parrot this point as "communist" because most communist thought thinks this is retarded.
>your arguments so far just amount to calling them "icky" and mirroring their dehumanization back at them.
It isn't about their humanity. They very well may be nice people outside of their reactionary ideology and I'd still suppress them for their reactionary positions. It is a game of power, of class, and which class will dominate comes down to the ideological and political positions of the vanguard of the proletariat.

May I remind you that I never disputed that the black dude used emotional appeals with the fash he converted? Unlike you I never tried to carve up any kind of discourse into a rigid either/or: "rationality OR appeals to emotions." Any rhetorician worth his salt would tell you that the two are inseparable. It is you who keeps upholding nonsense, as if any human interaction weren't a mixture of these two.

But again, you keep shifting the point to "what would happen ifs". Yeah, some of those faggots want to kill us IRL. But you yourself know that the majority of them are all talk no game shits-in-the-pants. You yourself know that they literally can't kill you online.

We've already had self-proclaimed ex-fascists explain to us how leftypol was able to convert them in the past. Nobody actually met these dudes from our community IRL and hugged them, befriended them. IMO your whole perspective is deeply anti-rationalistic, worse, in the name of rationality, since it amounts to depriving them even from the possibility to face rational counter-arguments. So, let me guess, your whole shtick is "we should beat them up on the streets." Good luck with that and God speed to you, Sisyphus, but you beating them up won't stop systemic causes creating them, now will it? This is still a chan and not your IRL antifa club and the topic is still chan policy.

>I am glad you have your sample size of all one dude deradicalizing fascists but believing this is some standard pattern

I'd take a dude who met a thousand KKK members and deradicalized like a hundred of them, wrote a book about it, and keeps proving his method over any rando anti-fa idiot any time. Fuck, I'd take a dude who deradicalized 5 fascists over any anti-fa idiot football hooligan, not to mention some rando loudmouth who instead of arguing in good faith tries to prove here that he has the bigger deek.

>emotional appeals […] cannot be as easily done through the internet

Did I deny this? Both rational and emotional must be addressed for a change to happen. I think we can provide the rational here, and life can provide the emotional there for them. Alternatively, they can notice receiving the same responses here, then offline. Repetition matters.

>how we shouldn't crack down on reactionary "thought"

No, it is you who thinks we shouldn't address reactionary thought. You banning them makes them feel they were right all along. It is I who argues for challenging reactionary thought. From my perspective you are the coward, the one who wishes to live in a confortable social bubble not reflecting society's actual composition.

>Libs have their own pathology but it is not nearly as disastrously bad and fundamentally antithetical to leftism.

I disagree. May I remind you that when the crisis comes a good chunk of libs will side with the reaction just to save private property and muh markets?

>a majority of us were once just liberals, the minority seem to be ex-fash.

Okay, so you admit that it is possible to transition from fash to commie. Great. End of discussion. Chan policy should reflect this fact both of us agree to.

>We've already had self-proclaimed ex-fascists explain to us… ect ect
Yes, nobody denies that /leftypol/ did, the question is it worth it for the trouble that it causes through fash posting and losses of other, possibly more useful people posting? Accepting fash even slightly, necessarily means driving other people away, especially proles who are vulnerable to fash oppression.
>You banning them makes them feel they were right all along
They will always find a way to feel right because the rationality of fascists exists only to serve their pathos.
>…a good chunk of libs will side with the reaction just to save private property and muh markets?
Of course because they do not believe in/understand systemic problems and abuses of power because of their ideology, but that doesn't mean they are as pathologically dangerous as fascists, just easily manipulable by the state.

Listen, mods, reaaaaaaaaally want to hammer the point home how funny it is to me you guys are calling space a power tripper who hates his opposition organising. I have had multiple threads about organising the user base deleted. You all went fucking ham samefagging and deleting threads advocating for discord and such. Every time I tried to basically get the user base together it was actively hindered by the mods. Certain opinions have been wiped from bunkerchan you can’t post them. Often when I was arguing with mods you would stuff like “silence I am done with this conversation” and then I’d get banned. I got permabanned on numerous occasions for really petty shit- now it has to be said other mods have then unbanned me, but I have been banned several times for basically having a political disagreement with a mod. I am aware that some of you are decent, but it’s like cops I’m afraid, a good cop frags his homies and I didn’t see that, I saw much more police union type stuff, closing ranks, and an active shutting down of descent against you, not least in the creation of the gulag so most posters would never see a complaint against th mods, only dedicated posters who actively sought out complaints against the mods.

This is obviously unacceptable, and I do agree that mod autonomy has been too high, which has mostly been due to lack of proper communication between mods.

At which point did we cut off the base? At which point did we actually have a connection to the base that the current moderators then severed?

Yes. Multiple times. Made a thread about organising a union of posters, deleted. Made a thread about making a matrix room for posters ran by posters, deleted. After that I made other threads about organising not using matrix, still deleted. Bullshit excuses were given every time.
>Oh. Fuck you. Make a room on Matrix.
see above, i did, the thread was got rid of. Second to this, nobody uses matrix. If you want to organise workers, and their boss doesn't allow union officials in the workplace, do you go to the pub they all frequent, or do you demand that they go to some other pub they never go to and has shitty expensive drinks and inhospitable staff?

On top of that, look at it like this. Where do you expect posters to talk about this now? Where can you guys make appeals to the posters? Nowhere, is where. They weren't allowed off board communications. So you want to subvert space and the gang, where will you do this? On his own board? No. He will delete the threads. On here? Few people check here, and the communication line is anonymous and not permanent i.e. low trust, bad for organising. Picture that bunkerchan had had, a general discord, a tankie discord, an anarchist discord etc, when the whole shit went down, you could have been in these places, explaining your position without space interfering, getting people on your side. Further to this, had the board gone down for some reason, say, space had deleted it in a fit of pique or something, or it had just gone down due to lack of maintainence, where do the posters go? A few on matrix yeh, but nowhere near the amount who post on the board. So basically, the community lives and dies entirely with board. Most people who game go on discord every day, see notifications etc. On top of the "muh spyware" stop pretending like anybody on here does anything worth spying on. I probably do the most real life shit of any poster, im not trying to brag its just a fact (or others don't talk about it) everything I do in real life had a real life mark it leaves down. No way to avoid that building real unions etc. Unless you are making some IRA or underground maoist insurgent group, it literally barely matters. Its a larp, and an excuse to wrest control of communications from the posters.
>we are not going to check your discord links to see
how about you leave it up to posters to judge themselves what discords they use, or failing that, it hardly difficult to sign into a fucking discord and judge whether its lefit or not. Takes all of two minutes. So your argument for why the board community is bound like some abused wife to a partner who won't let her have friends, its your own laziness? I'm not sure which is worse tbh. Being control freaks, or just lazy.
>This is obviously unacceptable, and I do agree that mod autonomy

oh and another thing about discord, on old leftypol, there was a bunch of discords, people liked using them. It was only after oldbos spergout and destruction of the board and subsequent super uptight moderation and personal paranoia that discords were got rid of. Then there was a long term campaign to smear their use, by mods samefagging mostly. the board culture in this regard was subverted in order to consolidate power in the hands of the mods.

Not true, but the general paranoia about fbi.gov probably affected us. Still, why you gotta use discord nigga. It reflects really poorly on communism that comrades want to organize on such a hostile platform.

right okay so I should probably be more distinct with all this and stress the point CERTAIN mods did these things, probably individually, and also used their mod powers to back this up. I know this because i did certain tests, for instance deliberately samefagging, and then magically the other poster knows for certain I am samefagging, for example. Also the posting style of certain mods translated to the same arguments.

like i really do understand you are not all the same, but you do have some rogues I am 100% certain of it.

why discord? Because it is user friendly and people are often online. It doesn't reflect badly on anyone. Loads of people use discord. Eyes left podcast (mike prysner of PSL) has a discord, Media Roots radio has a discord, finbol had a discord (which was his downfall admittedly but thats cos he did creepy things, not the fault of discord)

other than that, lots of non political people use discord just to chat, etc, particularly now in lockdown. Its a normie thing now, which is good, we should be aiming at normies, not insular image board people. Also, there is no reason we couldn't also have super sekret IRC etc for people that care about anonymity. Most people actually do not, its a handful of tech bros that really give a fuck.

as a side note, its the kind of thing squatters and smashies are obsessed with (because i am both a squatter and smashy), and trade unionists don't give a fuck about, in my experience. Considering there is neither squatting or smashing to be done online, security risks beyond actually getting doxxed are pretty minimal. don't post face.

Bruh, the mods didn't want a split either. Space forcibly ejected the most vocal mods, then proceeded to eject all mods except the scab, dollars. Dollars then didn't recognize the mods as legitimate and established himself as the dictator of leftypol. Everything that was previously decided democratically by volunteers was immediately made to the whim of dollars, who says he is "doing it for leftypol". He is further forcing the split because many mods do no want to submit to dictatorial tyrannical rule after participating in a democracy.

Further, the team is active on the matrix channel and suggestions are taken seriously. Not all suggestions can be acted upon. And some get lost in the noise. Dollars has never posted on the leftypol matrix chat afaik. There is even less accountability in that regard. Even further, all volunteers are users, so despite being an imperfect democracy, a variety of opinions does make discussion much more contentious and compromises have to be made all the time.

Yes, the mod team could be more transparent and more democratic, but to say it isn't at all is unfair and not really true. It is probably one of the most democratically moderated internet community, and keep in mind, in a very hostile environment, namely, anonymous political imageboards.

Lmao your posting style is just extremely obvious. It's even extremely obvious when you're trying to cover up your posting style. A tripcode does not give you magic anonymity powers.

I'm a regular poster. I liv ein the third word and come to leftypol once a week or so and read the discussion and find books and news to spend my time on. I was with you all along on this thread, but this stupid discord obsession totally lost me. Your interlocutors are right, stop pretending you're the userbase. I will never in my life use fucking Discord to discuss communism. I don't game, I hate notifications and I don't have 3 GB of RAM to waste on fucking spyware. If you keep pretending organising on Discord is the only way to organise, you'll end up with a union not of leftyposters but of first-world gamers and glowies. Shut up about Discord.

its not really the point. The posters did not get what they wanted, and they almost never do. I am aware space also doesn't do this. But my entire point is that the mods and posters should come together and the posters need instutitions of power to realise their power.

I also agree as I've said you were getting better, but that is only a very recent thing and amounts from going from rung zero to rung 1. A start. I also agree you can't have a proper democracy on an image board, again, my thoughts on this are up and down the thread. we need a union of posters you guys can reference, lead by regular posters you guys can confirm are regular

>>1630
>Lmao your posting style is just extremely obvious.
I am aware you pedant. You realise how easy it is to change your posting style for a task like this? Deliberately selecting words you don't use normally etc, changing the way you use punctuation, changing the core of the argument and only agreeing slightly, but disagreeing mostly. All of this was done. On top of that, I kept a lot of screenshots from these threads, and you can look it is often the same exact phrases being used.

>I'm a regular poster. I liv ein the third word and come to leftypol once a week or so and read the discussion and find books and news to spend my time on

all of this means literally nothing, you are an anon poster. I could drop my trip and invent a character as well.

>I will never in my life use fucking Discord to discuss communism. I don't game, I hate notifications

you are in a minority on this board not gaming and having discord.

>Your interlocutors are right, stop pretending you're the userbase

im not pretending I'm the userbase, samefag. This point has been addressed above if you had the balls to answer it.

>If you keep pretending organising on Discord is the only way to organise

its not, but for a chan, it is A useful way. fuck i even said "Also, there is no reason we couldn't also have super sekret IRC etc for people that care about anonymity. Most people actually do not, its a handful of tech bros that really give a fuck."

Its hilarious that you tell me I pretend I am the userbase, when your argument is "i don't game and I hate notifications" Well woopee do you personally don't like notifications or gaming real materialist argument here.

>you'll end up with a union not of leftyposters but of first-world gamers

that is most of the posters. I don't know where you think you are. This is again the whole thing about people taking leftypol far too seriously and not at all serious enough at the same time.

No he wasn't. And it's not about more or less mod input, leftypol was supposed to be entirely independent from space as per the deal we signed when we moved from 8chan.

I remember a situation where a mod was really paranoid about you samefagging. He was convinced you were a wrecker and wanted to out you as a samefagger. It was a bit chaotic due to other things at the time, and it was difficult to build some consensus about the situation in the mod crew, so he decided to act autonomously on his suspicions. Yeah, not an ideal situation.

>I remember a situation where a mod was really paranoid about you samefagging.

I samefag in these situations: 1) during raids from /pol/ because its funny 2) for the memes in meme tier threads and conversations 3) While posting in threads with Salty Emmanuel of the Email, who is a literal wrecker and continually, deliberately disruptive poster who also samefags a shit ton and is (probably) also a mod.

I don't do it in any other situation.

>He was convinced you were a wrecker and wanted to out you as a samefagger.

see, this is what makes me think he (salty emmanuel of the email) is a mod, because I literally samefag either against him or in situations nobody cares about. So if he is complaining about me samefagging, it is most likely because it was me arguing with him. Most recently when he threatened to doxx me or close to it with that email. He wants to make out like I'm the wrecker, because he is the literal wrecker, who has on multiple occasions deliberately shit up the board pretending to be me, or threatening to try and doxx, etc etc.

Salty Emmanuel of the Email is the guy who threatened to send the tenant union organising thread to the paid organisers of the tenant union I am part of, in order to expose that I post here, because we had a political disagreement about tactics. It was a big hulabaloo a couple weeks back. He is distinctly the same poster who about a year ago adopted the name Sage and deliberately wrecked multiple threads. Its actually the reason i post with a trip. Since then he has done it other times. If you remember the whole "we are all Sage, Sage came in me" thing, from around the time of the Bolivian coup, it was this incident that kicked that off. Indeed, one of threads of wrecked was the Bolivian coup thread. Other posters have also noticed that he does this not just me. Its an extremely distinctive style of very angry incoherent posting.

> just find somewhere else to discuss radical politics

it is clear that nobody wants to use Matrix. However when discord was used, many people did.

>sensible comrades

I don't know a single trade union organiser, tenant union organiser, or even communist party member IRL who thinks discord is so terrible.
>If it were, /games/ and the games general wouldn't have been so slow.
i personally game but have no interest in discussing games. Also we had to fight for that thread I believe so that probably has something to do with it.

This is… another thing. Remember the music thread fights? Those threads were popular with many posters an the mods still deleted them. Also the conspiracy theory thread, which was one of the most popular threads, had to be fought for and still the mods wanted to delete it, just other examples of the userbase not getting what they want

We do support offline communities and you've named a few of them yourself. Finbol's discord, leftybooru, the matrix chat, etc.. These are all places we know people from and can spread the word. It seems strange to say we don't support any seperate institutions when it was the staff(not space_) that worked closely with the New Multitude magazine effort.

So for the question of "what will we do now?", for now admittedly all our focus is on making the site as feature complete as it was previously. Flags and the report system being down seem more important than number of users at the moment. Once that is finished we will begin a propaganda campaign telling everyone what has happened. Many have said that they had no idea there was a split until they saw users talking about it in threads, as they've come to ignore staff posts. We need to spread the word, but that's after we're satisfied with the board.

As for the tripcoder's grievances with vols. I won't pretend to know the heart of every volunteer we have. I will say that the idea to have term limits for staff seems popular internally and externally. So as far as accountability goes that should help in the sense of making sure personal vol grievances are not reflective of the staff as a whole. People might behave more moderately if they know they're eventually going to be judged on their actions as vols shortly in the future.

Okay well I know for a fact that the person who imitated you as sage during the Bolivia coup (I was the mod who banned him) is not the person who sent that email, and neither of those posters are on the mod team (I checked the email guy's post history). I'm not going to go into any more detail about it though. You're simply too paranoid my dude.

Not sure you realize how hard you contradict yourself here. And the music threads were not universally loved. A lot of people found them really annoying and spammy, and unrelated to politics. There was never any discussion in the music threads, just people posting their playlists hoping for some (you)s.

In specific contexts in which abundant empirical evidence is available, fairly reliable short-term prediction and control of a society's behavior may be possible. For example, economists can predict some of the immediate consequences for a modern industrial society of a rise or a fall in the interest rates. Hence, by raising or lowering interest rates they can manipulate such variables as the levels of inflation and of unemployment. Indirect consequences are harder to predict, and prediction of the consequences of more elaborate financial manipulations is largely guesswork. That's why the economic policies of the U.S. government are subject to so much controversy: No one knows for certain what the consequences of those policies really are.

Outside of contexts in which abundant empirical evidence is avail­able, or when longer-term effects are at issue, successful prediction-and therefore successful management of a society's development-is far more difficult. In fact, failure is the norm.

During the first half of the second century BC, sumptuary laws (laws intended to limit conspicuous consumption) were enacted in an effort to forestall the incipient decadence of Roman society. As is usual with sumptuary laws, these failed to have the desired effect, and the decay of Roman mores continued unchecked. By the early first century BC, Rome had become politically unstable. With the help of soldiers under his command, Lucius Cornelius Sulla seized control of the city, physically exterminated the opposition, and carried out a comprehensive program of reform that was intended to restore stable government. But Sulla's intervention only made the situation worse, because he had killed off the " defenders of lawful government" and had filled the Senate with unscrupulous men "whose tra­dition was the opposite of that sense of mission and public service that had animated the best of the aristocracy." Consequently the Roman political system continued to unravel, and by the middle of the first century BC Rome's traditional republican government was essentially defunct.

In Italy during the 9th century AD certain kings promulgated laws intended to limit the oppression and exploitation of peasants by the aristocracy. "The laws proved futile, however, and aristocratic landowning and political dominance continued to grow."

Simon Bolivar was the principal leader of the revolutions through which Spain's American colonies achieved their independence. He had hoped and expected to establish stable and "enlightened" government throughout Spanish America, but he made so little progress toward that objective that he wrote in bitterness shortly before his death in 1830: "He who serves a revolution plows the sea." Bolivar went on to predict that Spanish America would "infallibly fall into the hands of the unrestrained multitude to pass afterward to those of . . . petty tyrants of all races and colors . . . [We will be] devoured by all crimes and extinguished by ferocity [so that] the Europeans will not deign to conquer us . . . . " Allowing for a good deal of exaggeration attributable to the emotion under which Bolivar wrote, this prediction held (roughly) true for a century and a half after his death. But notice that Bolivar did not arrive at this prediction until too late; and that it was a very general prediction that asserted nothing specific

In the United States during the late 19th century there were

>worker-housing projects sponsored by a number of individual philanthropists and housing reformers. Their objective was to show that efforts to improve the living conditions of workers could be combined with . . . profits of 5 percent annually . . . . Reformers believed that the model dwellings would set a stan­dard that other landlords would be forced to meet . . . mostly because

of the workings of competition. Unfortunately, this solution to the housing problem did not take hold . . . . The great mass of urban work­ers . . . were crowded into . . . tenements that operated solely for profit.

It is not apparent that there has been any progress over the centuries in the capacity of humans to guide the development of their societies. Relatively recent (post-1950) efforts in this direction may seem superficially to be more sophisticated than those of earlier times, but they do not appear to be more successful.

The social reform programs of the mid-1960s in the United States, spearheaded by President Lyndon Johnson, revealed that beliefs about the
causes and cures of such social problems as crime, drug abuse, poverty,
and slums had little validity. For example, according to one disappointed
reformer:

>Once upon a time we thought that if we could only get our problem families out of those dreadful slums, then papa would stop taking dope, mama would stop chasing around, and junior would stop car­rying a knife. Well, we've got them in a nice new apartment with modern kitchens and a recreation center. And they're the same bunch of bastards they always were.


This doesn't mean that all of the reform programs were total fail­ures, but the general level of success was so low as to indicate that the reformers did not understand the workings of society well enough to know what should be done to solve the social problems that they addressed. Where they achieved some modest level of success they probably did so mainly through luck.

One could go on and on citing examples like the foregoing ones.
One could also cite many examples of efforts to control the development
of societies in which the immediate goals of the efforts have been achieved.
But in such cases the longer-term consequences for society as a whole have
not been what the reformers or revolutionaries have expected or desired.

I'm telling you everyone can tell you're doing this. You don't need IP logs to tell.

I like leftypol over, say, chapo, because it's the most international leftist forum on the Internet. We get comrades regularly posting from Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, China, Guatemala, Vietnam, South Korea, India, Singapore, Kazakhstan, Palestine, South Africa, and they all bring their own perspectives.

I stay away from the Yankee and British threads because I don't care what goes on within. Perhaps in there there are a lot of discord lover gamers, the PSL matters for something, and smashing is somehow a revolutionary action. As it is it looks like you're blinded by your first world perspective. You claim to want to give a voice to the posters, but you don't seem to realise that most of the world can't even open Discord without their computers slowing to a crawl. When we disagree with you instead of backing off you accuse us of being the character of a mod and belittle us for not being online 24/7 like you and having read all your arguments. It's pathetic.

okay, so you support finbol in his discord efforts but it is absolutely haram to have directly leftypol associated discords? Or even, not directly associated, but discords you are allowed to post on leftypol? How does that make sense? It is also enough that you i.e the mods know people. The entire point is that its a community effort. New multitude is a publication not a chat room. Kudos on that though well done, more stuff like that please.

Honestly also, term limits are gonna cause you a whole world of worry and subversion. If the mod processes were more robust and the userbase had more control I don't think this would be so much of an issue. If you think you can find new mods often enough then maybe it can work, but I see this as a very messy process for you. I am willing to entertain it though its not a bad idea in principle.

ey ey ey I only said he was probably a mod. I didn't say he definitely was one. He sure simps for mods extremely hard most of the time, and seemed to have some kind of protected status among the mods considering he wrecked deliberately and it took a long time for him to be banned each time, and each time I was somehow accused of being the wrecker as if it was actually a consideration given really quite clear circumstance. Also like I said, I made bait threads to draw him and did the old samefag test. And some others, but I'm not going to reveal them because I still conduct them. Are you saying it is impossible somebody with mod privs also had another IP address they liked to use?

Also I would say the discord thing is relevant to the split, because I am specifically talking about how it could have gone differently if there was a more robust off board community.

>On top of that, look at it like this. Where do you expect posters to talk about this now? Where can you guys make appeals to the posters? Nowhere, is where. They weren't allowed off board communications. So you want to subvert space and the gang, where will you do this? On his own board? No. He will delete the threads. On here? Few people check here, and the communication line is anonymous and not permanent i.e. low trust, bad for organising. Picture that bunkerchan had had, a general discord, a tankie discord, an anarchist discord etc, when the whole shit went down, you could have been in these places, explaining your position without space interfering, getting people on your side. Further to this, had the board gone down for some reason, say, space had deleted it in a fit of pique or something, or it had just gone down due to lack of maintainence, where do the posters go? A few on matrix yeh, but nowhere near the amount who post on the board. So basically, the community lives and dies entirely with board.

>people liked discords
BS, There was only an Unofficial discord for leftypol that a minority of the user base were even aware of its existence. The mods never bashed against using discord. In fact they openly asked the community about using discord in a thread where they were the ones defending its use (one of the mods admitted to being a moderator at the ulp for a while btw).

Oh lol I forgot about this. I remember it was one moderator who was very in favor of discord, and the rest were mostly indifferent or against it, but the moderator for it was unfortunately our PR manager (caballo) who takes care of most official posts because of his silver tongue.

>Its on /bunkerchan/
It was banned even on old 8chan /leftypol/. Old Body Odour and mods did this. By the time of bunkerchan the smears and word filters had done their job. Same with Rojava. Now without Body Odour we see most posters in favour of Rojava again. This thread was also filled to the brim with samefaggers and false flaggers. This is like saying the rigged elections which destroyed the Soviet Union prove nobody liked communism. Liberal Lies. As the next poster says, all the mods but one were against it.
>>1701

Lol. We have had real trouble filling up our ranks with people willing to actually do this, and a real issue of mods becoming inactive. If you think this "power" is desirable, then why the fuck didn't you apply to be a mod? And you realize that any mod is a bitch to the democratic will of the other mods, right? No individual holds any actual power.

Can you prove to me that Old BO had anything against discord during his reign? I joined in after 8chan was nuked.

leftpol died under space and you know that. Please refrain from discussing Rojava here there should be a Syria or WANA thread for you to speak about this. (I'm for the liberation of the kurdish people even if at the end of US-installed puppets would dominate kurdish politics)
>all mods but one
Check out the archive I sent. Anon above is right in one sense. Caballo was pro discord and hated matrix for inconvenience. The rest of the mod team simply didn't want to manage another community on another platform. They were fine with users opening a discord but they will not be the ones managing it. Only few of the mod team were against a leftypol discord because either it's a cancerous platform or because it abused the users.
Out of the 17 posts made by the mod team and BO discussing the topic in the archived thread. 10 were very pro discord.

If it's a board for music in general, not limited to political and leftist music, then that might even be a good board idea. But responding to the anon you replied to, creating just a lot of boards does not attract users.
Try to attract leftists first, once there's a diverse number of them with interests besides politics other things can be added on top. But you don't want to create a bunch of dead boards when you're still in process of regrouping.

democracy should only be had to the extent that we can vet people to ensure reactionaries don't get to vote on the proposals. democracy as a system exists only as a system to serve as a way to mediate inter-ideological conflicts and leadership, and as such it must be composed of the allowed ideological range of /leftypol/ (IE leftists).

4) Although Lenin’s struggle against the rule of state bureaucracy is well known, what is less well known is that, as Lewin perspicuously notes, with his central proposal of the new ruling body, the Central Control Commission, Lenin was trying to square the circle of democracy and the dictatorship of the party-state. While admitting the dictatorial nature of the Soviet regime, he tried to

>establish at the summit of the dictatorship a balance between different elements, a system of reciprocal control that could serve the same function – the comparison is no more than approximate – as the separation of powers in a democratic regime. An important Central Committee, raised to the rank of Party Conference, would lay down the broad lines of policy and supervise the whole Party apparatus, while itself participating in the execution of more important tasks … Part of this Central Committee, the Central Control Commission, would, in addition to its work within the Central Committee, act as a control of the Central Committee and of its various offshoots – the Political Bureau, the Secretariat, the Orgburo. The Central Control Commission … would occupy a special position with relation to the other institutions; its independence would be assured by its direct link to the Party Congress, without the mediation of the Politburo and its administrative organs or of the Central Committee.


Checks and balances, the division of powers, mutual control – this was Lenin’s desperate answer to the question: who controls the controllers? There is something dream-like, properly fantasmatic, in this idea of a CCC: an independent, educational and controlling body with an ‘apolitical’ edge, consisting of the best teachers and technocratic specialists monitoring the ‘politicised’ CC and its organs – in short, this was to be neutral expert knowledge keeping the Party executives in check. However, everything hinges here on the true independence of the Party congress, already undermined de facto by the prohibition of factions, which allowed the top Party apparatus to control it, dismissing its critics as ‘factionalists’. The naivety of Lenin’s trust in technocratic experts is all the more striking in that it came from a politician who was otherwise fully aware of the all-pervasiveness of a political struggle that allows for no neutral position. However, in ‘dreaming’ (his expression) about the kind of work to be done by the CCC, he describes how this body should resort

>to some semi-humorous trick, cunning device, piece of trickery or something of that sort. I know that in the staid and earnest states of Western Europe such an idea would horrify people and that not a single decent official would even entertain it. I hope, however, that we have not yet become as bureaucratic as all that and that in our midst the discussion of this idea will give rise to nothing more than amusement. Indeed, why not combine pleasure with utility? Why not resort to some humorous or semi-humorous trick to expose something ridiculous, something harmful, something semi-ridiculous, semi-harmful, etc.?


Is this not an almost obscene double of the ‘serious’ executive power concentrated in the Central Committee and Politburo, a kind of non-organic intellectual of the movement, an agent resorting to humour, tricks and the cunning of reason, keeping itself at a distance … a kind of analyst? So why did Lenin’s project miserably fail? (Stalin formally supported the idea, but the CCC was rendered totally impotent and subservient to the Politburo.) The problem was not that the Bolshevik Party was too dictatorial – in Lacanese: excessively functioning as the Master’s discourse. Paradoxical as it may sound, the Party was not functioning enough as a Master, preferring to function more and more as the university discourse. But what does this mean, politically?
