Hello comrades. Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I thought this should be acknowledged if it hadn't been already.
In my English class we are writing essays and I chose to write about the Red Terror. We got time to use computers to do research on our topics and I remembered seeing some good information about it here on Revleft. But the, all of the sudden, I tried to open this site and this huge red screen popped up and claimed that this site was harmful and endorsed racism and hate. My province appeared to be blocking it. I had never seen anything like this before, and the teachers monitor our screens so I didn't want them to think I was looking up something terrible or who knows what, so I quickly closed the window.
So why did this happen? From what I've seen here, there hasn't been any racism, and the only hate I've seen was directed to capitalism and religion. The latter two one can have different opinions on, but why would my province block this site for it? Is my province trying to stop youth from learning about radical Leftist ideas?
Even stranger, only the school computers seem to block the site. Sorry I'm not tech-savvy so I can't really explain much else to it.

I think it's probably because racism is discussed a lot on here, so the software thinks it might be a racist site.

^This. Sometimes I can't get on from computers with filters because some of the tags have "racism", "violence", "drugs", etc. in them.

This site is blocked at my school too, for being "radical." (No joke)

I tried accessing RevLeft from a public computer once and up popped this "Net Nanny." It blocked the website for "illegal activities" even though the forum rules discourage the planning of illegal activities.

That's what happens when you let people post about how the red guard is going to execute so-and-so or that people won't survive the violent revolution. It's one thing to hate an ideology but another to hate the people that subscribe to that ideology.

Doesn't surprise me that content filtering sites might block us, but OTOH that may attract more people here if were are considered to be forbidden fruit.

Try using a proxy site. A lot of sites are blocked for little to no reason, and a lot of them shouldn't be blocked.

And what to do in the case of the Nazi party?

Can you hate the ideology but not the people who are behind the organisation?

Isn't there a thread that's just like 10 pages of people debating with you? There comes a point where all is said and done and pictures of cute animals ensue.

This thread is a discussion about why this website is viewed as a "hate site" by some entities. It has literally nothing to do with the debate on capitalism.

No, it's really not. The OP was wondering why it was blocked. It was answered in a totally of 1 response. This is not viewed as a "hate site". The tags are what gets it blocked through some filters.

So true. And yet you all still pamper him. I took the time-tested route and slathered his bullshit with animal pics but then he 'ignored' me. Maybe he will ignore the entire forum if we all try hard enough.

Just saying...
