A Communist says hi.

RE and others here, I plan on Monday to start another thread that might interest some here because it sorta relates to this topic, and it will be entitled "Capitalism Hits the Fan". The reason I haven't started it by now, as I had mentioned it a few weeks ago, is that the last three weeks have been really hectic, and I didn't want to start a thread whereas I couldn't hardly spend time on it myself.

Looking forward to it. I'll give it my best.

Hey, you are catching on to RF pretty fast.

You should visit Revleft. It's a great place and I'm really glad to have been part of it as I learned a lot. But it's a war zone.

Lesson one is learning how not to get purged by the admins who are worried about Fascist infiltration and possible violence between the far left and far right offline from them accessing members details. This does actually happen. Then there's not discussing topics which are considered "counter-revolutionary". I could swear openly and talk about many issues which are taboo like sex, BDSM etc, but certain issues are a no-no; anarcho-primitivism, pro-life position on abortion and supporting North Korea are ones I can remember. Then there's not saying anything illegal on a forum where revolution is the normal topic of conversation.
The anarchists were in charge when I left [no, you're not hallucinating] and it was fairly liberal compared to what I know about it's history. There was a massive confrontation just before I became active as the hard-liners were in control and purged a large section of the members because they're were fascists somewhere in the forum. I can sympathize with the admins as I'm a bit older, but I don't envy them.

Lesson two is learning to duck for cover when the different communist/anarchist tendencies go for each other. it's just savage. No-one wins. ever.

I left because there was an attempted suicide (the second one as I remember) and a friend of mine intervened and got attacked for it and it looked like there were probably going to be more. I've had mental problems, but then I started to figure out that actually that was kind of the rule for the forum because it's membership is so heavily geared towards and late teens and twenties age group.

If you want to know what communists and anarchists do in their natural habitat- it's a good place to start. But the paranoia is infectious.

So honestly, RF is really civilized- it's so peaceful. thank god.

Saint Matthew: Are you joking or are you serious?

Oh how shocking! How dare I say the Islamic extremists will mass murder communists and commit genocide and behead homosexuals and round up "witches" to be burned to death! Am I SERIOUS? duh - it is happening right now.

You know, it is really funny how gullible the low information crowd is. You got the type who say "I am a proud witch ... and by the way a Stalinist", in that if the witch got her dreamboat communist government in America, the first people the communists would round up for the gulags would for sure be the one saying "my religion is that I am a witch". And for sure, the Islamic extremists have plans for the same witch. But what is so pathetic is when I go into Berkeley to get some Indian chat snacks at Vics and we pass by those disgusting leftist communists with their little table on Telegraph Avenue with the hammer and sickle flag right next to their PLO literature and Palestinian flag and "Divest Israel!" bumper sticker and some pop-art poster of a Palestinian Islamic terrorist holding an assault rifle. The joke is these communists are nobody lost to the fringe of society, they think they can hitch up with the Islamists to "bring down America, man!" yet they are so obscure they are meaningless and the same Islamists they group around with those Palestinian flags will kill them next after the "bring it down" actually gets legs.

I remember some building with a "Property of U.C. Berkeley" plate out front on Ashby Avenue in Berkeley, not 3 blocks from the old Communist Bookstore on Shattuck, it was the 1970s and I just had to pull my Datsun 1200 over to check out this building since there were some folks in Muslim garb entering the building and it really made me curious. So I peek into one of the shuttered windows of that UCB building and, before I get chased away by some Mullah type there are two white professor types in the front before a fold out table, a bunch of muslims in typical dress along with what was obviously some students either standing, sitting on the floor with no chairs, a few fold out chairs for some older men, and all around the walls were large framed posters - of Islamic radicals holding up rifles, and there was a portrait of the Ayatollah Khomeini the soon be "supreme" of Iran. This was at a time when I would sit down in a class and the leftist communist teacher would already have the "flyer" on the desk about how monsterly was the Shah and how the good muslims like the Khomeni were persecuted by evil America but "leading the struggle against imperialism". The alliance between the far left and the Islamic terrorists goes way back.

Serious? You know what I find boring, is listening to this garbage for the last 35 years from the communist left, always yelling in the face of everyone else and parading mass murderers around like we are all suppose to act as if this is "normal" and the main thing is to be silent and polite while they banter on like howling banjees. Yet as loud as they bark and are so full of themselves, yet they are also so tired and so tiny in numbers they are meaningless. There is "no there, there", and in most cases are on meds, have rather sick perversions, can't run a hotdog stand and then tell us they are the wise one's who should run the lives of everybody else.

In the end, when the terrorists start to kill them, it will always be the folks like the Republicans who will have to save their lives but won't be thanked for doing so. They are like those leftist Jews in Germany arguing with the real Jews and who were saying "Hitler isn't so bad. They are Socialists, afterall. Civilized people, the Germans". Then they take that train ride as their children are taken from them.

How shocking of me to say. But then, the same shocked pundits are not shocked by the National Socialist who openly says "Yes, I am a Nazi". They are not concerned with that, nor the communists who also murdered Jews enmass, nor the Islamic extremists who want Holocaust Part Two, no, instead they are worried about "the Republican under the bed".

The low information people are even worse.

By the way, it will be disease that will change their world, they are beyond changing anything.

What ^^^ that said.
In light of the fact that communism failed miserably in the former Soviet Union and China is communist in word only it's interesting to find someone that admits to being communist/athiest.
What are you really looking for?

In the event this is directed at me (not 100% sure), I'm looking to get outside the "bubble" of my own ideology and talk to people who I can disagree with but at the same time learn from. I'm not sure what I'm looking for as I've always been an atheist, so I have not had any experience with religious people. But you're drawn into a lot of discussions on religion as a communist and it's not a good idea to reach a conclusion based on ignorance. There is only so much you can learn out of books about a belief system as you miss the inner experience of it and a lot of the diversity when you only see the "orthodoxy". plus it's nice to talk to people anyway.
And yeah, you're right btw; being a commie is partly about a perverse desire for attention because it's "different" and nobody expects it. That is part of the narcissistic thing that draws you in, as wanting to be a rebel because you "know better" and tell authority where to go. But the Che T-shirt wears out eventually and for most people you realize you were never a communist at all- you just like pretending because it made you feel important. I'm still not quite sure as I've got some growing up to do.

[Edit: And now I'm going to try and let this thread die off, so thanks everyone. ]

Oh, I don't like that name!

Edit: I checked it out. Weird bunch. They even have some groups with "libertarian" in the title....but reading the posts it seems inapplicable cuz of their authoritarian bent.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out. I've been around lots of people who identify with weird politics. Ranges from salient and genius-like to pure animalism.

So honestly, RF is really civilized- it's so peaceful. thank god.

Probably the reason RF is my top forum. It's well moderated by easily accessible rules.

I imagine a Bizzaro Rev with a goatee.
I thought it suggested that I fled.
Besides, I'd never wear a goatee....it seems too "precious". If I did ever decide to sport a beard, it would be a neckbeard just to annoy femdamentalists.

To be fair, that is the best beard.

Then you have a mirror match with your evil twin.

Do you know the other name for a goatee? It's "prison p***y". That alone would be enuf reason for me to eschew it.

Personally, I always found the very thin beard across the face with no other facial hair to be an indication something creepy is about go down.

You can't have a commy thread talk about facial hair and not mention Engel's Treebeard of a beard.

I've always wondered if he and Nietzsche had to lift their mustaches to eat and drink. I've also always wondered what Marx did to get his hair and beard to become one.

I wish beards would come back into American Politics. I don't actually care what the politicians look like underneath all that hair!

I belong to an atheist forum where they 'forbid' debate with a newbie to the site, in the intro/welcome section. So, this thread has been interesting to me. ^_^

This is good policy, generally, since debate can be unwelcoming. But I think we've made ourselves look inviting.
