Who the hell was Bud Struggle?

[Le Rouge]

Was he a leftist? If not, why was he hanging here?

[Decolonize The Left]

No he was not. He was just some guy who liked to mildly troll this forum. Lots of people found him humorous and, on the whole, he was a respectful poster. That said, I have no clue why he hung around here so much.

[Agent Equality]

He was nothing more than a loser capitalist, like pretty much all of the OI trolls are

[Leftsolidarity]

Why is it a "was"? Is he gone? I could only pray to Lenin that he is gone.

He's been gone for some time now

[Decolonize The Left]

He was banned for "racism." Something involving his avatar and sig or something. He probably was joking and took it too far - either way, it's over and it's not a huge deal at all.

Bud Struggle (Feb. 2008-Nov. 2011) , member of the Communist Party of America, factory owner, and, perhaps most importantly, winner of the Golden Che, was pronounced banned from Revleft earlier last month. The immediate cause of ban was identified as racism, trolling and being generally insufferable. Although developing a good rapport with some long standing members, during the course of his time on the forum, Bud Struggle identified with numerous ideologies, from Randian Objectivism to Hoxhaism to his main tendancy "Jazzrattism". He eventually came to gradually accept a social democratic viewpoint as evolved from his hard line support of American Republican Party. When asked why he caused such shitstorms in the OI, he answered: "I did it for the lulz". He is survived by other OI trolls such as RGacky, Skooma Addict, and Lt. Ferret. He had asked that donations be sent to his Florida factory to pay for capital replacement costs in lieu of flowers.

Yeah he was banned for having a "black face" avatar.

I don't mind RGacky at all

Erm, what ?

Ferret has been banned for quite some time now.

[Apoi_Viitor]

You're all forgetting comrademan!

[hatzel]

Bud was (and remains, wherever he may be) a glorious soul roaming (and occasionally flying through) an impure world. Beloved husband, father, friend; his spirit lives on in all our deeds. Faretheewell, sweet prince, you are forever in our hearts.

[CommunityBeliever]

OI trolls such as RGacky

RGacky's posts are one reason why OI is generally higher quality then the main forums.

Seriously, we should just let him in the real forums, then I wouldn't have to come to OI so much.

I like Jose Gracchus too. (although he's not a troll nor OI.) I think the main forums have a higher quality than the OI (one reason being JG).

What? No reference to me?

Considering that I also had a history of trolling. *Acts like attention bleep*

Agreed. I've never seen him post anything abrasive.

[Apoi_Viitor]

Can't, he's anti-abortion.

[Manic Impressive]

Revlefters coming to OI to troll the OIers by complaining about trolling in OI.

Only on Revleft

[xub3rn00dlex]

RGacky is a pretty intelligent poster, and I actually enjoy reading his post on economics. Considering I'm majoring in it, his posts are quite helpful. How the fuck is he a troll? He is restricted, maybe one day he'll change his mind on his stances, but the guy definitely makes quality posts.

[cb9's_unity]

Can't, he's anti-abortion.

I think its a shame he's held out for that.

Socialism will bring about an unprecedented rise in woman's rights. Just because we disagree on the ethical rights of a fetus doesn't mean we should exclude him from helping us empower women in farther reaching ways.

[SVeach94]

Can't, he's anti-abortion.
*shakes head*

In my opinion, the restrictiveness and dogmatic of this forum is one of the reasons I've turned off by it. If someone's a revolutionary socialist but he's pro-life, is that really a big deal?

You guys should be more flexible about who you let in. Hell, I'm a social democrat out of practicality, but you guys put me on the same forum that you put right-wing conservatives on? :confused:

[L.A.P.]

I never realized why a bourgeois man such as Bud Struggle would insist on sticking around for so long until I saw my mom arguing with one of her high school friend when scrolling through facebook. He's some wealthy insurance agent and posts in almost identical manner as Bud Struggle, I thought they might have been the same person for a second. Maybe there's a coorealtion between bourgeois men's boredom and political internet forums?

[Ostrinski]

Can't, he's anti-abortion.Has he ever explained his reasoning for this?

Pray god it's been said already- Lt. Ferret got banned a long fucking time ago.


Edit- he better fucking be banned still...

And also for thinking pro-life positions are anything but anti-choice.

...But, I only troll actual trolls.

AKA, counter-trolling. Notice what I posted at Postmodern Revolutionary's threads...


My actually political posts are for real though, which make up 80% of all my posts.

It would'nt be relevant.

You weren't being a counter troll, you were being an idiot.

And I hope your actual political posts are trolling, or else I will give up on politics.

[La Comédie Noire]

Bud Struggle was the physical manifestation of the corporate zeitgeist. He was a masterful troll who practiced the art of "deep trolling" where you imbed yourself in a community for years and wage virtual guerrilla warfare, making reactionary statements and than retreating from them as people pursue you in argument.

He will be missed.

He wasn't very good at trolling. A lot of his attempts ended up with him getting really mad and leaving the forum for days at a time.

[hatzel]

It's very easy to speak ill of those who are not longer around to defend themselves, but that's the kind of cowardly stuff a loser like Kim Jong Il would do, so of course I'm totally against it :)

Why's this thread still rolling on, by the way?

[Ele'ill]

Why's this thread still rolling on, by the way?

Because some users are curious as to who Bud Struggle was.

[Hit The North]

He will be missed.

You can find him posting on the Rev Forum if you miss him so much.

[Kornilios Sunshine]

I know I will be flamed for this but do you think it is right to take down someone(except if he was Nazi) when he is banned from here? Would you feel okay if the same happened to you? Seriously, I have a neutrual opinion on Bud Struggle but I do not think it is cool to swear him around here.:cool:

This thread asks for a realistic answer to the question 'Who the hell was Bud Struggle'. Am I supposed to censor my response and lie?

No you are not but watch some posts here, they do not sound like they do a calm criticism to the banned user.

[PhoenixAsh]

Most people liked Bud. But he was here to troll...maybe he had some genuine interest.
I miss the guy sometimes...for some weird ass reason.

Make no mistake...he was a rich burgeoisie capitalist. Owned a company and generally was very dismissive and looking down his nose at his employees.

But I think he could very much appreciate this thread.

If you guys are going to discuss abortion in this thread then I'm going to change the threads name.

Why? Is this a new rule? If so, then it will create a heck of a lot of work for mods and admins, since many topics naturally digress from their original subject title.

Well if there are more posts on abortion than Bud its logic. I really could care less. Its only going to feed the ego of Bud if he sees 5 pages under his username. And that would just be horrible.

How does that follow? Threads may start out discussing a particular topic, but digressions are inevitable. There's nothing stopping new readers from asking questions relating to the OP.

Why the fuck should we give a damn? He's banned, we don't have to endure his preening and ego-stroking any more. Speaking of which, it's hardly like the posts discussing him in this thread present a shining eulogy of his presence on Revleft. Neither do his posts, to be honest.

I almost requested a split in the thread too. Mainly because one topic of conversation is important and actual discussion and the other is about a shitty user who is now banned.

I almost posted this too :lol: I don't think Bud would have liked this thread- he wasn't that type of troll.

Moved the abortion discussion to its own thread.

You are absolutely correct. I only mentioned it because he has been stalking me in email and threatening this board with his "IT" people. :lol:
Once they cross that line.... ya know??

I can't tell whether that says more about Bud or the CP.

[TheCultofAbeLincoln]

I can't believe he's actually gone.

Naturally, I assume this has been a very hard time for everyone else as well.

Who are bud's "IT" people?

[DinodudeEpic]

Well, I heard that all that Bud Struggle did was make fun of COTR's shoe collection....Saying that she has 200 pairs of high heels. And, COTR then emailed him with a threat to call the cops.

Now, that's what I heard, not what I think happened. I do not mean to insult COTR in anyway possible.
