View Full Version : Historical douchebags that would have been quite successful on revleft

A repeated question on this site is if so-and-so were alive today, would they be restricted? Here I propose to look into the contrapositive (?) of this question, that is, if so-and-so were alive today, would they be a CU member or an other esteemed contributor to revleft, without undergoing restriction?

For example, on what grounds would we restrict Genghis Khan? An internationalist who supported religious toleration and cultural communication. Perhaps sexism, but even that isn't clear because he was by most accounts basically uninterested in personally subjugating women and his heavy reliance on his wife's advice throughout his life was well known.

Some more douchebags that might be able to weasel their way to go unrestricted would be Julius Caesar, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Boetia, Adam Smith, and perhaps somewhat less plausibly James Cook.

So what are some other historical menaces that may do just fine on revleft?

Khanian socialism is mountain of skulls theory applied to an underdeveloped country under the leadership of the national pre-petty-bourgeois, it's a prerequisite for tred-iunionsizm and the development of mere labour struggles into PNNCPCNNCP party

Adam Smith would get on pretty well, im sure he'd find Capital quite interesting. But being how this is revleft eventually everyone gets banned.

:laugh:

Interestingly, as we've already said Genghis Khan, we'd also have to put in the whole Mamluk affair, proto-anti-imperialists that they were. I'm sure the politics section would be buzzing around the time of the battle of Ain Jalut! :lol:

People are banned for their personalities more often than for their views. I have been using internet forums since 1988 and I haven't yet posted an ad hominem remark, therefore it's more probable that people who hate my views will tolerate me.

I'm going to go with Joan of Arc - Feminist so any attempts to ban or restrict her would be met by calls of sexism. Not bourgeois and national liberation struggle so she might have done ok although eventually banned for preaching

Edward Teach would have made a pretty clever troll.

Like Kuppo.Don't tell him this, but I don't think that Kuppo is very clever, although he is a troll.

Hitler doesn't post much as "Eightolf Bitler", but he reads a lot, and posts in polls. His user title is "Mein Stache", and his signature links to his user album, where he puts his artwork. A long time lurker he built up his posts considerably over the years. He is not restricted.

The User named Broseph always hates on Eightolph but he's restricted (cause he's more of a reformist than revolutionary apparently), and has something of a tension with Kamikaze_Emperor (A restricted Japanese Imperialist).

What if in the unlikely event I become the successful douchebag one day? So add me to that list.

If it weren't for the preaching requirement quite a few clowns would have made the cut including her. Perhaps Joan of Arc can join Martin Luther, Lao Tzu, hell even Jean Calvin and maybe even Jesus Himself as a respected member of this board. But, alas, we have rules against preachers.

Don't we have rules against preaching, not preachers per-say, I mean as long as they didn't get all fire and brimstone on revleft, there wouldn't be a reason to restrict them.

Jesse James would do pretty well for a little while although he'd end up at somepoint getting banned for some racism. He was like a racist version of Robin Hood. lol

I wouldn't even call Kuppo a troll, unless by troll you mean "someone who cracks barely-PG-13 jokes."

I could see Lenin as a major troll/asshole on Revleft, similar to Rosa Lichestan.
