What are the best Leftist discussion forums?

[Christopher Hill]

Perhaps I was wrong in giving you the benefit of the doubt, it seems you are indeed a reactionary sexist.

[Rosa Lichtenstein]

Indeed, and JJM777 is also Rebel Without a Clue:

http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/rebelwithoutclue.htm

Rebel Without a Clue's deep seated and infantile hostility to authority motivates his random and seemingly gratuitous attacks on list owners, Admins, Nannies or anyone else who attempts to maintain order and civility in discussion forums. Differing markedly from Rebel Leader, he is unattached to any cause other than petulance for its own sake, and will therefore seldom inspire general insurrection. Rebel Without a Clue NEVER reads forum FAQs, and loudly decries as fascism any enforcement whatsoever of forum rules.

1) The more you post the more you confirm that the RevLeft CC was correct in what they did.

Repression of free thought is not "correct", just because you have a slightly different opinion about some topic. It is one of the biggest catastrophes in top-down governed communities of all sizes and ideologies.

Who is "reactionary", those who support freedom of speech, or those who support repression of free thought?

You didn't answer this question: Would your ideal society ban all reactionary newspapers, and imprison their editors if they violate the ban? Sounds too familiar...

And if not, how should I believe that your folks would behave in real power differently than they behave in virtual reality?

you are indeed a sexist pig and social reactionary.

Calling other people by names is not "correct" or "progressive" either. Try to decide are you thinking and behaving progressively or not.

This confirms you are no revolutionary

An interesting claim, even if it lacks the essential point: What exactly confirms that I am not a "revolutionary"? And do I have to be a "revolutionary" (a person who seeks to take all power by a violent intervention)?

I don't seek revolution in the traditional totalitarian sense, "making a military coup and then dictating the politics". I believe in multi-democracy: a portion of people on the planet want Socialism, and those persons exactly should have the right to live in Socialism. No person who doesn't want to live in Socialism, should be forced to live in one. Who wants Capitalism, should have the freedom to live in Capitalism.

In this sense my thinking is different from the most radical revolutionaries, whose goal is to seize military power and then rule everyone by force, including those who don't agree with the policies dictated by the government.

Any thoughts about http://soviet-empire.politicsforum.org/ ?

It looks quite active, I haven't read much of it yet, I have quite busy time in the Cmas season.

They seem to have free and lively discussion, sometimes people with very opposing views debate peacefully around the same table.

JJM777, as I said: Rebel Without a Clue.

What exactly confirms that I am not a "revolutionary"?

To me you seem filled with liberal nonsense. Especially this:
"I don't seek revolution in the traditional totalitarian sense, "making a military coup and then dictating the politics". I believe in multi-democracy: a portion of people on the planet want Socialism, and those persons exactly should have the right to live in Socialism. No person who doesn't want to live in Socialism, should be forced to live in one. Who wants Capitalism, should have the freedom to live in Capitalism."

And this:
"'power corrupts', no matter what the ideology is."

And do I have to be a "revolutionary"?

No one's forcing you to be, but this forum is for revolutionaries so I can't imagine you being popular. Anyways, your definition of a revolutionary is wrong.

[JJM 777]

liberal nonsense

Is liberalism, freedom for people to live as they want, "nonsense"?

Anarchists wil not be happy to hear that.

If we have a government that forces upon people what they don't want, how does happiness (or democracy, or political stability) come into the picture?

And this:
"'power corrupts', no matter what the ideology is."

Most people on the planet don't like the idea of concentrating too much power to too few persons.
Just because... history repeats itself.

[Rosa Lichtenstein]

As you can see, Pie, the more we hear from JJM777, the more he/she reveals his/her non-revolutionary credentials.
