It doesn't work.

how about instead of reinstating the old CC, form a new one open to the public and allow for actions to be discussed publicly.

I'd support this. We're basically trying to get back board democracy, I'm not fussed about the exact form it takes.

i really didnt know what actions the CC was taking during my time on the board so id like to have the ability to know whats going on even before an action was made. BenSeattle's criticism of the CC was pretty good imo.

You idiot, don't you realise that real life isn't like your fantastical revolutionary ideas, in real life things need to be run by a small select group of people who have the power to do whatever they want. Otherwise too much drama is created.

So my suggestion, for those who would like to see the RevLeft community move in the direction of becoming more significant--would be to oppose any and all tendencies in the direction of creating a tier at RevLeft which is "in the know" or has exclusive access to privileged information relevant to RevLeft's internal contradictions and development. Yes, it is certainly necessary that there be a leadership core of some kind that makes decisions. This is necessary because we live in a class-divided society saturated with ignorance and otherwise RevLeft would eventually be flooded by (and fall under the control of) people who are attracted to its energy but have little understanding of or liking for revolutionary politics. But making decisions does not require exclusive access to information. There is no real practical need for the leadership core to have exclusive access to politically important information. Secrecy should be limited to where there is an actual need. Vague rationalizations for secrecy like "it would cause problems" or "might be misunderstood" or "it's convenient" reflect an inability or unwillingness to see the RevLeft community become more conscious and move in the direction of playing a more significant role in the class struggle.

The CC drama was like the msot interesting part of the board.

The CC drama was like the most interesting part of the board.

But way too much drama. Floods of it. Too much to cover.

I'm happy I'm not there any more. Now I have more time to focus on other more relevant politics discussed on the wider board.

As the group has gone, thread closed.
