Why do you visit this site?

[Tablo]

Why do you visit this site? Is it for political discussion, to study history, to follow events from a left wing perspective, or just to chat it up?

I personally come because I like talking on web forums, but can't stand the relaxed policies most forum have on racism/sexism/homophobia/transphobia/sexism/etc.. I also like this site because it has a higher level of maturity than most and I like talking politics.

[gorillafuck]

I honestly come for chit chat mostly.

[Magón]

Political discussion is hit and miss for me, as I'm sure it is on any political forum really, but I think this is one of the better ways to interact with other left wing people, outside my own little area of living, and see what's happening outside California.

[hatzel]

Why do you visit this site?I ask myself the very same question every day...

This.

... And to antagonise the stalinoids.

[Kuppo Shakur]

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to interact with any Maoists.

[Dr Mindbender]

Revleft provides me with my only means of interacting with members of the world's progressive population.

Seriously.

[Pirate Utopian]

Zoophilia videos.

I mostly read stuff here. I have an interest in politics just not alot of (really indepth) knowledge so I don't post much. But I read. I'm watching you type.

[graymouser]

To chat it up with other leftists. Also because I feel I have something to contribute in terms of knowledge and Marxist understanding.

[Dumb]

To see how long I can go without getting restricted.

And to figure out how to get involved with leftist groups in the physical world.

[bailey_187]

i like reading the pages and pages long debates tbh (yes serious). All my attempts at starting debates in the history forum fail tho :(

i also like posting random shit in chit chat

[Rafiq]

To learn more, I suppose.

Plus, forums are fun. :lol:

[Red_Struggle]

I come here to observe the sectarianism and revisionism and take note of how many Trots and Anarchists there are and how the Brezhnevites ban other Brezhnevites.

Get at me.:cool:

[Os Cangaceiros]

Besides actually believing in the leftist body of thought, I have something of a, uh, "scholarly" interest in the historic left. I just like to learn about subjects, pretty much anything related to the historic trajectory of communism. It just interests me. So this site helps with that.

Other than that, I also like to discuss issues, and maybe develop some connections with other leftists.

[Red Commissar]

Just to talk to people. Much like any other forum, except with out your tea bagger types.

Also chit chat.

[Nolan]

To antagonize everything and everyone, especially the GADDAFI IS AWESOME people recently. On a related note, I like to get e-screamed at by Kassad while he pleasures himself at the thought of how the PSL is the best thing since Lenin.

Yes.

[Agent Ducky]

I came here to learn ^_^ and understand people's perspectives. Plus, I just like web forums in general =]. And also call people comrade. Oh wait, I already do that.

[Olentzero]

Not entirely sure yet, but then again I've only been here a week or so. Checkin' out who's where on the left is fun, though.

[GallowsBird]

Erm... :confused:

[Admiral Swagmeister G-Funk]

because i am a revolutionary leftist and wanna talk to other people on the same team. i've learned a lot here funnily enough, and i get a lot of news here too.

[kitsune]

Interesting people and discussions. I learn a lot. I like to hear different points of view, ideas that clarify my own views and others that make me think about them more deeply and reconsider them. I like to question my assumptions.

And it's nice to hang around people who aren't completely deluded about the state of affairs in the world.

[Jazzratt]

Habit. Occasionally I get it into my head to actually administrate the site, too, but mainly I come here because I've been doing that for years.

[Landsharks eat metal]

1. So I don't feel like the only leftist in the world
2. To work on getting over my shyness by talking to you awesome people
3. For relaxation

[Il Medico]

Habit and the culture forums (specially Music and Film and Lit).

Also, some of you folks are half way decent people to chat with, whether it be about politics or other things.

[Panda Tse Tung]

Mostly for the Dutch forums and Chit Chat, tho i read politics, history, current struggle and learning now and then but rarely contribute. And if i do i usually cant be assed to respond or i completely forget about it.

[bailey_187]

bailey chit chat threads

lol thanks bruh

but latley my threads been going downhill (judging by the lack of replies to them)

[Chambered Word]

Make out with me, please.

[Kuppo Shakur]

the PSL is the best thing since Lenin.
Psh, it's way better than that.

[Quail]

I come on here a lot because I have more important stuff to be doing and need a distraction. I quite like chit chat, although it's hit and miss as to whether there are good threads or rubbish ones. I like the political discussion too, although I mostly lurk because it seems as though I end up having the same debates again and again so I can't often muster the energy to write in depth walls of text.

[Kassad]

The American Party of Labor reminds of of Maddox and his "The Best Page in the Universe." It's funny because it's online and no one really buys in to it, but when you actually come across them in person, you just feel kind of bad for them.

Of course, I could help the APL make their first actual flyer to distribute. I'd call it "Bunkers: Why you need them, why we build them." Golden.

[Aurora]

Kassad perhaps you could confirm this, ive heard that the PSL is growing really fast?

[Aurorus Ruber]

I come here to learn more about the radical left and get answers to various theoretical questions. Also because there simply aren't many left wingers in my area, so I rarely get to discuss this sort of thing off-line.

[SacRedMan]

I came here to learn the real stuff, and not the bllsjit that we learn at school about communism and so on.

But I have not much time left to read everyday :(

[ʇsıɥɔɹɐuɐ ıɯɐbıɹo]

You are like my favourite revlefter, you use smileys and your username kicks capitalist ass. :laugh:

[Roach]

Because sometimes I am at home and bored. I also like to see people having delusions of grandeur and trying to push their baseless views onto others through insults.

[Roach]

BTW I live in a concrete bunker, here is my lovely house, it has a great view of the beach.

[Zanthorus]

I just enjoy discussing with people. It also provides me with a good way of procrastinating from college work.

[Chris]

Ismail's games, watching anarchists, marxists and other marxists at each other's throats and discuss stuff occasionally, which is fun. It is interesting to learn about other viewpoints within the revolutionary left as well, and I think I've drifted somewhat towards Anti-Revisionism of the hoxhaist variation since joining (although, I was peeking at it before, but I knew next to nothing about them. The Norwegian Hoxhaist organisation have spent the last three years building a new communist party, so they are not prominent at all here).

[Pawn Power]

I don't really.

But when I did it was for the lol's and to see what the commies were thinking.

[Tower of Bebel]

Humour and caesarean socialism

Must be sort of difficult trying to create a genuinely revolutionary movement in the country with the highest standard of living in the world.

[Le Libérer]

Very real friendships that I have made over the years. We care for each other, fight like family at times, but real emotion for real people who want to better this world and fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.

[eyedrop]

Must be sort of difficult trying to create a genuinely revolutionary movement in the country with the highest standard of living in the world.
Remember that high living standards means that the working class has had more success, ie not suffered as heavy losses, than in most countries and should have more self confidence.

A bigger problem for that is that the population is small, which means that a hoxhist organisation, which is a niche organisation has a lot smaller demographic to draw members from. If 1-5000 could be interested then it would only maybe work in Oslo. While in London an incredible niche group could easily set up shop. Superspesific subcultures thrive much better in large cities.

Besides you don't have too look overly far to find some Albanians to tell you all about Hoxha. Am I mean if I suggest that the Hoxhist attempted party has little interaction with any Albanians?



As an aside I will easily admit that any workerist anarchist tradition is also in shambles in Norway, there are some attempts in Oslo but that is basically it. Radical politics doesn't work good in 50kish large towns when the class struggle is on a low ebb. Or actually when it's not on it's highest.

Edit; I like maldorors "fuck the world, and you too" attitude and I share it to some degree, but I'm to amazed at the absurdity of life to me miserable. I still laugh every time I see the stupid shape of a pineapple.

[black magick hustla]

share my misery and resentment to the internet

yes we get it albania built a lot of bunkers. the ussr built a lot of capitalism. zing

[Lyev]

To be honest, I don't really know; there are a lot of idiots here. But I have sustained, to varying degrees, some quite decent correspondence with people from my own organisation and other ones through the messaging system on here, come to think of it.

[Fawkes]

Material for the spank bank

[Tomhet]

for the lulz.

[Obs]

I'm in it for the rep.

- To learn
- To discuss
- To teach
- To feel better about myself

[FreeFocus]

I don't even know anymore. I'm starting to care less and less.

[Lenina Rosenweg]

I used to come here to see Zanthorus when he was a cute little sponge or star or whatever he was. Now he's a...eeeeek!

Seriously though I like to interact with fellow leftists and to learn.I like to write and this gives me a chance to practice this.I'm a huge bibliophile and I've picked up tons of book and film recommendations .I've gotten a huge amount of free downloads from sites mentioned here.I've met some cool people and made some friends.

[MarxSchmarx]

I'm still hoping someone here is going to post a magic bullet that will show us the way.

I'm actually only half joking. I think if the likes of Marx, Kropotkin and Lenin were around today they'd be posting their ideas on a place like this.

[Quail]

I think sometimes I actually just come on here for the stupid shitstorm threads where people have really hilariously reactionary opinions and the drama. Discussion is good though. It's good to discuss stuff with people who have different opinions. Most of the people I talk to about politics are either anarchists or people who don't care about politics.

[Lobotomy]

i like to lurk the debate threads a lot. sometimes I post articles and stuff that piss me off, and sometimes I lurk or post in chit chat when all the other websites are boring.

IMO the best thing about Revleft is the lack of bigotry (compared to other communities).

[Agent Ducky]

I've come to learn about different tendencies and theories. And on the side I has fun in Chit-Chat =). Plus, I tend do like message boards, and this one is especially great because if anyone says something like "woman, make me a sammich!" they get head-shotted by the mods. :D

[progressive_lefty]

I've learnt soo much since I joined revleft - its been good.

[Rusty Shackleford]

to monitor subversives.

[Chimurenga.]

To troll, to brag about how dope the party I belong to is, to engage others and to serve as opposition to the liberals on this forum who pose as "revolutionary leftists".

Needless to say, I don't really take this forum too seriously.

[Red Commissar]

I've gone off the "deep end" on other sites and I only really seem to mesh here. But I'll probably end up in OI one day for saying something stupid.

Yes, probably.

[thesadmafioso]

To argue with people, mostly.

[Bright Banana Beard]

To get along with others and to debate.
