Red Commissar
26th January 2012, 23:44
Horribly bored during my break so I looked at one of the forums (http://www.alternatehistory.com) I sometimes lurk on. Oddly enough I found a thread in their 'chit chat' complaining about Revleft (versus Conservapedia). It's amusing seeing their impressions about the site.
Oh and a restricted user (http://www.revleft.com/vb/member.php?u=60320) complaining in that very thread about how Revleft hated him for being a social democrat. Yeah. I suspect many of the other comments I got here are either right-wing nuts, the usual 'centrist' phenomenon, or restricted members here.
Some gems (unregistered users can't see the thread, but if you can, here (http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=226643))
Who are the bigger A-holes, the Evangelical Christian right who believe all liberals, atheists, or people who don't agree with them best case idiots and liers and at the worst case as if they are demons from hell
Or the people who defend the actions of some of the world's biggest tyrants.

Right Wing Nut Jobs

Left Wing shitheads.
Conservapedia doesn't defend murderers it just claims they were all socialists. Revleft on the other hand has the gall to defend the worst tyrants and murderers in history.
Both douchebags. A plague on both their vermin-infested, lice-ridden houses.
Actually they do, Pinochet, Mubarak, Franco. Yeah not nearly as bad as Stalin, Mao, or Kim Il Sung but they'll just as gladly gladly paint rosy pictures of murdering dictators.
Generally I'd say I would gladly take up arms if either the people running those sites got anywhere near power.

Conservapedia. RevLeft at least lets me get out my evil reactionary reformism in the OI section (though I their restricting policy is bullshit).
Yeah, their membership has a rather high proportion of juvenile members who like to quote Stalin because they think it makes them look tough, from what I can gather. Pity, I used to have rather good discussions on theory with the more mature membership, it seems to be drying up more and more though.(and they even look through the posts... bonus points if you are one of those they quoted!)

Nail him upon his own fucking cross.

It's a tough subject, no doubt. (http://www.revleft.com/vb/showpost.php?p=2327762&postcount=5) I always approach anything like this with the idea that irrespective of crimes committed or diabolical intentions, we are all human beings and should be treated as such (yes, even capitalists or fascist bastards).

Some gems from RevLeft.
If RevLeft is a circlejerk, than I guess it's the masturbatory equivalent to hate sex.

I think this thread (http://www.revleft.com/vb/open-letter-revolutionaryleft-t71910/index.html?t=71910) by an ex-leftist on RevLeft summed up my feelings on the site fairly well. They spend all day talking about how the demise of capitalism is inevitable and the world revolution is coming, all while blissfully unaware that the world has forgotten about them.
Jeez, this is one of the hardest polls we've ever had...
It's tough. RevLeft has crossed an unforgiveable line by endorsing some of the most bloodthirsty mass-murderers to ever have the misfortune to crawl out of whatever oozing Eldrich hell-pit Communist dictators are spawned in. And being unashamed Communists to boot.
On the other hand, Conservapedia wants to accelerate the pace of climate change, lynch all gays an atheists in the streets, put the entire world under Biblical law, and poison young minds with creationist propaganda. In my mind, this makes them no better than terrorists. (I wouldn't be surprised if Rick Santorum himself is an admin there, the fucker.)
However, Conservapedia gets a pass because they're just so stupid and great fun to rip on. RevLeft may have been decent in the past (if you like that sort of thing, BoardCommieshttp://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/images/smilies/rolleyes.gifhttp://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/images/smilies/wink.gif), but today it is the worst scum-hole on the entire internet, outside of maybe Stormfront.
Why does it matter? They both try to justify horrible people and are jerks on completely ideological grounds.(does this kind of annoying user sound familiar?)
When I got out of the Army, instead of drinking myself into oblivion I ended up playing protest songs at a coffee house.
That's where I met the interesting species of leftist that I called the Coffee Shop Communist: they were all concerned with the plight of the working man and (especially) the factory worker, but didn't really KNOW anything about them. I don't doubt they meant well, but they held up factory workers like they continually said conservatives held up soldiers. Which I never got: if any one of them had ever WORKED in a factory, they'd know it's not some amazing glorious profession. It's just a job.
Hell...I was pretty sure that out of all those "socialists" and "communists", I was the only one who'd ever actually BEEN in a union.
Those are the defenders. You also have Stalin apologist and people who think that they were "misguided but had great ideas."
RevLeft is not a friendly place (Not that Conservapedia is much better, but at least I can find them humorous some times with how uneducated they are, RevLeft is just scary).
Isn't the site run by some kind of central committee or somesuch? It's possible that there could be a change in the future that bans Stalinists. http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/images/smilies/biggrin.gifhttp://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/images/smilies/tongue.gif
What's your username, there, if you don't mind me asking?
(the restricted user) Same here. I'm restricted for being a dirty reformist. http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
Yeap. Also RevLeft recently was shut down for a week or so because of internal purges. The game threads there were rumored to have players who joined the forum but were IRL fascists or neo-Nazis.
A communist forum purged itself.
History is an Ouroboros.There were more sane users though trying to point out that alot of that bit about 'defending dictators' is an unfair characterization for an entire forum because of some user's posts they saw.
I'm not really angered by this- not the point of the thread. Just funny to read what people perceive this site as and painting us with such a broad brush. I don't want to invite any comments on this about tendencies or board management though.
All I got to say about these people who hate the forum- Haters gonna Hate. Isn't easy being red :lol:
