Letting another Revlefter crash on your couch poll

[ʇsıɥɔɹɐuɐ ıɯɐbıɹo]

So, I ain't the most prolific revlefter on the site, but let's say there's discussion of an event of big importance to the community near where you live. Someone wants to go participate but can't afford a hotel and doesn't know anyone else from around there.

So, while you can tell us the conditions for allowing some person from the interwebz into your house, please answer in easy answers: Yes I'd let a Revlefter crash on my couch or No, don't even bother to ask to crash on my couch.

I was not sure where to put this thread, so threw it in here. If you do not have a couch, don't worry, I'd crash on the floor and sure others might as well.

[Blackscare]

You really should have better defined the options. For instance, yes I would provide a spot for someone free of compensation (only if they're coming to a conference, or some other transient visit, not living on me couch), but there are only a small number of people I'd even consider doing that for.

I wanted to keep it simple, to let people use their common sense when voting and really let the light of democracy shine through to illuminate this issue...

OHMYGODWHATHAVEIDONE!?

[WeAreReborn]

Well probably, depends really. For the majority of RevLefters sure why not. But I don't like a few so they wouldn't be welcome.

[Sentinel]

I've let several sleep on my couch, and slept on a shitload of them myself. So I voted yes.

[Sasha]

already had some, sure more will folow, even more sure i'll ask to return the favor one day.
so yes

[Admiral Swagmeister G-Funk]

If a comrade needed somewhere to stay whilst passing through, they could have my sofa.

[BeerShaman]

If I lived alone all the homeless and all comrades would live in my house! :-P That's gonna be after 2 years!:D

[F9]

I dont own the couch to let anyone crash on it right now:D, but i would certainly let some do so in a house i "owned", but not everyone..

[Il Medico]

Yeah, probably.

[thriller]

Done it before, I'll do it again. If anyone passes through Wisconsin and needs a place to crash, hit me up.

And no, I don't care if you are a Stalinist :P

[Widerstand]

Sure.

[RedAnarchist]

If I had my own place, I would.

[ʇsıɥɔɹɐuɐ ıɯɐbıɹo]

Well, I'm still livin' with my family so when I get my own place you guys can come too.

If you ever stop by this backwater , Mí càsa es tu càsa. I don't know if i spelled it right

[Quail]

I'd let a revlefter sleep on my couch, although it's a damn uncomfy couch and they'd have to put up with a baby waking up a couple of times in the night. It probably also depends on the poster. If they seemed like an arsehole online, I probably wouldn't want to spend enough time with them to let them crash here.

[Noinu]

I would very much let someone crash on my couch, given of course that I'd have a couch by then.
Of course if the person in question would be terribly messy and would get fits of rage and always break things, I would most likely say no.

[Bright Banana Beard]

Why not? Although I don't own apartment yet, I will let them sleep comfortably on my couch.

[ʇsıɥɔɹɐuɐ ıɯɐbıɹo]

So, can I do a tour about Revleft and write up my experience in the hospitality of the leftist common community? :blushing: It would be an awesome book.

If written well it definitely would be an interesting read.

[Apoi_Viitor]

As long as they are:

- not a total asshole
- not a complete slob
- willing to refrain from drugs, alcohol, cigarettes during their stay

Then, I don't see why not.

[Widerstand]

- will refrain from drugs, alcohol, cigarettes during their stay

:'(

[Quail]

- willing to refrain from drugs, alcohol, cigarettes during their stay

Possibly me ruled out, although it would be pretty rude to turn up to someone's house fucked out of your head and ask to crash on their couch.

[Widerstand]

That's why you get fucked up with them. Where's the fun in getting fucked up alone anyhow?

[Blackscare]

Ok, so I couldn't even step outside to smoke a fucking cig?

[Jazzratt]

Then, I don't see why not. Well, that's me shit out of luck if I'm ever down conneticut way.

I would, and have, let revlefters sleep on "my" couch (NoXion stayed here for fucking months once, although that was on the floor mainly.) and even slept on the couch while they had the bed. As long as, obviously, it wasn't someone like Thomas Sankara or Palingenisis coming round.

I don't have rules or expect compensation but I also don't have money and expect my guests not to get wasted without me when I'm around so usually people end up buying booze for me.

[Quail]

I must've spent so much money on booze, I don't even remember.

[Apoi_Viitor]

No, that would be ok... Just don't do it inside, where I'm forced to smell it.

[Jazzratt]

I must've spent so much money on booze, I don't even remember. Oh god. It might be the most I've seen a revlefter spend on booze at mine, although possibly not considering some of the others in the running.


No, that would be ok... Just don't do it inside, where I'm forced to smell it. What the fuck kind of person just rocks up in a strangers house and sparks a fag assuming it's ok?

[Quail]

You make me sound like such an alcoholic :blushing:

I don't know anyone who would do that, personally, and I don't see why it would matter if someone smoked outside, as long as they didn't light up in your living room or something.

[Sir Comradical]

So long as they're not smelly hippies intent on fucking shit up.

[Fawkes]

Where's the fun in getting fucked up alone anyhow?
Clearly you've never masturbated under the influence. Not that that has to be a solitary endeavor or anything.



broadcastingsilence: Where in CT do you live (I used to live there) just so I know to never allow myself to grow weary or tired in your area?

[Fawkes]

What the fuck kind of person just rocks up in a strangers house and sparks a fag assuming it's ok?

:lol::lol: I don't know, something about the way you said (ehem, typed) that is just fucking hilarious. I wouldn't do that, but I am the type that assumes that it is okay to sleep naked, use the bathroom without closing the door, regardless of what it is I'm doing, vomit anywhere I please, though I will clean it up after, masturbate into a friend's dad's sock while sleeping in his (the dad's) bed and then throwing the sock under the bed (yiiikes), and, on one occasion, put on one of my friend's mom's red lace thongs and wear it, only to have him walk in on me while I was undressing. I'm an ass.

You're not welcome at mine :tt2:

[Summerspeaker]

As long as my housemates said yes, definitely. But it's far from the best place to sleep so I wouldn't really recommend it.

It depends on the user, the event and my relation to the event. I'd be more likely to let someone stay because they're getting through hard times than for a high profile event (like a summit).

[Aloysius]

I probably would, but don't expect me to feed you (there's a pretty rad little eatery just down the block that sells hot dogs for a dollar.) And be prepared to play with a baby. And don't smoke.
Do it outside. Same with drinking.
And don't come back totally hammered and vomiting everywhere. I can break into he house across the street and give you a sleeping bag and pillow.

[Quetzal]

All welcome!

For drinking, smoking, laughing, demonstrate, singing, eat, debate, riot...
Even if you just want to visit Belgium without political means...

I don't have toilet paper, but i'll have a bottle of rum!

[Burn A Flag]

Well personally I'm all for it, but I live with my parents because I'm not quite 18 yet so that negates the possibility.

[Cowboy Killer]

If you mean a lonely attention whore no and there aint to many commies in michigan and theres plenty of room at my house.

No I somehow had to think of Juggaloes when I read your post.

[Property Is Robbery]

Yay comradery :D

Anyone who isn't an apathetic dick or an in denial Soviet sympathist would be welcome :)

[Os Cangaceiros]

I've slept on a few people's couches from this site. I wasn't molested (that I remember, anyway), so I think that I'd do it again (or let someone sleep on my couch).

[synthesis]

Depends on the poster. NoXion, for example, I would expect to wake up face-down on a metal table somewhere in the exosphere, getting an anal probe.

[Cowboy Killer]

No I somehow had to think of Juggaloes when I read your post.
Well if you're talking about ICP fans, Michigan is where it started, regrettably...

[The Grey Blur]

man i'd like to bum across america some time, i'll call on you revlefters then.

[ellipsis]

Well if you're talking about ICP fans, Michigan is where it started, regrettably...

Uhhh what other kind of juggaloes are there? I saw some the other night leaving a show for some band i don't even want to google called twistid. LULZ clown make up.

But yah I would let certain people crash with me, ive recently become more open to meeting revlefters in public and have done so twice. SF is a couch sufing mecca so maybe so fool will hit me up.

[Nuvem]

Anyone who isn't an apathetic dick or an in denial Soviet sympathist would be welcome

What about open Soviet sympathizers?

I can't personally vote on any of the options in this poll. For anyone but Anarchists, it would require validation from my girlfriend. I personally don't welcome transhumanists into my home. Anarchists, you're in luck; I freely offer the space in the apartment complexes' dumpster for you. Maybe you'll find some not-too-slimy old chives in there, my vegetarian girlfriend throws out some stuff now and then.

I've been living in this dumpster and eating trash for a whole month but revolution still hasn't happen yet. What gives?

As a transhumanist anarchist I'll take you up on the dumpster offer but convert it into pure computronium in order to accelerate the coming of the Singularity. :lol:

[Nuvem]

Damn transhumanists computroniumizing my dumpster.

I'm gonna be pissed if I go outside to take out the trash at 4 AM and there's a blinding green light coming out of it while robots calibrate satellites attached to the corners and upbeat electronic music blaring. I need that thing for my goddamn trash.

[Future Manifesto]

Revlefters are notorious armchair circle jerk revolutionaries--I might as well let a plutocrat sleep on my bed.

[gorillafuck]

If someone actually wants to crash in the house of a 17 year old who posts on the same internet forum as them, then I guess. But expect an awkward as fuck stay.

[Black Sheep]

nah,i dont have a couch
but i would share my hot bed:D

[El Rojo]

this thing called solidarity should really answer that question for you

[La Comédie Noire]

I'd let someone stay on my couch, but they'd have to get drunk with me and listen to short stories I've written.

[DragonQuestWes]

I'll gladly take anybody.

Whether you want to plan and prepare for a protest/revolution, or if you're just trying to hide from the elite or if you just wanna hang out and have fun or something, whatever.

Just make sure you don't get the bourgeoisie knocking on the door, or if it can't be helped, you're just gonna have to find a damn good hiding spot.

[LordAcheron]

I'd want to meet them first, but I have no problem letting people crash with me

[ellipsis]

I arranged potential housing for a revlefter who attended a workshop of mine when he got stranded in New york due to snow. also I arranged potential squat housing for a group of people, only one of which was a revlefter. niether time they ended up needing it.

[Zav]

As long as they aren't the sort of Red that hates Anarchists, they would be most welcome to stay. I'm in Massachusetts if anyone in the area needs a couch.

[Arilou Lalee'lay]

If I'm not living at someone else's place at the time, definitely. I live in Colorado, an hour or two from Denver.

Also, since this is my first post in the "resources" section, I should mention I have many academic papers. You could come by, totally in person, and read one of them, without making a copy or anything. Or maybe I could help you find a copy some other way.

[I.O.T.M]

I doubt my parents would be too happy with some randomer I met on the internet crashing on the couch. :p

However, if there was a big action in my area I'd try and convince them otherwise. When I get my own place, revlefters will be welcome. I'll hunt you down if you try to nick anything, so don't try and nick anything. :D

[black magick hustla]

depends. generally its fine unless i hate your e-person

[Johnny Kerosene]

As others have said, if I had my own place I would. So in a year or so lemme know if you're need a place to stay for a bit in Gainesville, FL.

[Invader Zim]

Unlike you bourgoise types I don't have a couch.

[piet11111]

Depends who it is.

[Futility Personified]

At my university pad, that'd be fine. Be a tad awkward at my folks house though, especially seeing as me dad is a red-hater

[tachosomoza]

My dad is black and served in Vietnam. If you don't mind his ravings and hallucinations, sure. It's my place, after all.

[Sam_b]

I feel very safe in the knowledge that nobody would really want to visit Glasgow, so I won't encounter this problem much.

Anyway there's this occupation we're doing, y'know, the longest-running occupation in the country that you could crash at :lol:

[PhoenixAsh]

I'd like to keep my private life and political life strictly seperated....for obvious reasons and because of a slight case of paranoia. So little political stuff at my place.

But if there were a real important and urgent reason for anybody to seek a place to crash and can not find any other place..and I do need some information before hand...they are welcome. Depending on my financial status I may need some pitching in on supplies when somebody stays for more than a day and night. Also...I currently rent a studio appartment...so that means I single small place. You get to sleep on the floor (I do have a matras) but that also means that there is little privacy....which also explains why I am a bit weary. More rooms=less problems :-)

The day the world bank or G8 decide to meet here will be the day that squadrons of pork livestock perform loop de loops.

[Rusty Shackleford]

yeah, i would. probably wouldnt be too fun n all since i cant purchase alcohol.

now, heres the real question. who would let me sleep on their couch?

[Optiow]

Sure, why the hell not. A fellow comrade is welcome to stay with me.
