RevLeft has been granted 200 acres of arable land and $100,000 to spend. Every somewhat active and relevant user is now going to live on this commune.

There isn't any established system (decision making power and such) or infrastructure yet (houses or anything). That's why we have the $100k, to do whatever with. We have no instructions. We're just there.


Just imagine what a mess that would be...

I view Communism as a worldwide and industrial phenomena rather than setting up a commune, but even if I were an agricultural "communist" I am realistic enough to know that without farming skills a hundred grand isn't going to go far, unless one is going to grow a high profit margin crop like marijuana. But that would be wrong.

I know. I didn't mean it in a "wouldn't this be cool if we could do this guys?" it was a more of a "imagine if you took every revleft user in a room and had them create a society". Which is funny to think about.

Just imagine what a mess that would be... I think it'll degenerate into a nightmare where people start killing one another or split into different factions within these 200 acres.

I prefer the last option, and I'll be on the side of the people who turn their side of the land into a perpetual music festival or Burning Man with psychedelic drugs and having all sorts of outdoor fun plus hippies growing organic healthy food and marijuana plants (plus precursor ingredients for psychedelics and magic mushrooms). It won't start a revolution (than again, none of these communes will) but it'll be fun. We'll also have weapons of sorts because I'm willing to wager that some members on here who are all straight-edge or anti-drugs might attack us for being "drug-addled degenerates" and we'll need them for self-defense.

One side area is for chillin / moonshine

Middle is where everyone lives with a basement full of food / weapons and various foodcrops around the building and on the roof.

Meat is from deer and wild hog

Bathe in a nearby water source. Or, you can make a hot-tub out of a moonshine coil and a tub. Hook it onto one side, fill up to top hole with water in the tub, light a fire in the middle of the coil, water heats and moves. It's like a cro-magnon hot tub.

I imagine we'd have to spend the cash on separate compounds with armed guards and uniforms and shit for each of the tendencies, otherwise we would quickly descend into a sort of post apocalyptic nightmare with cannibals, spears made from kitchen knoives tied to sticks, scrabbling in ruins for baked beans and flames everywhere to provide a cool backdrop. And then the capitalists would make a film out of it, with a horribly predictable storyline and a wide selection of gender and racial sterotypes.


And then they would do a sequel.


And then another one.


And then a spin off TV series.


And then a spin off kids TV series.


And then there would be merchandise. There would be T-shirts, and badges, and bags, and hats, and all manner of other things with a logo that you can take home for an extortionate price.

I curious about why you chose Bordiga?

Because, to me, and, perhaps to you, he was a brilliant theorist, yet he wasn't "relevant" in any way. I am trying to point out that relevance does not signify theoretical quality. Marxism isn't just about "action", it is a science. Was Bordiga claiming he wanted to lead the proletariat in an armed struggle? No. He was a scientist, as Marx was a scientist.

If you have qualms with DNZ, why don't you take a jab at attacking his theoretical material, rather than being childish and dismissing him like "Waa he's out of touch with reality". It's really a sign of Desperation at best, when users cannot argue with him.

Bordiga doesn't really interest me that much, but he has some relevance because his ideas laid the foundations for very large movements which effected Italian politics (and to some degree the politics of other countries) for a few decades.

I won't attack his theoretical material because he is one of the most formulaic and dogmatic posters on here. Much like what you like to hate in Ismail for, if you ever say anything to DNZ, or happen across a post of his its almost always him quoting some dumb shit he made up (much like Ismail is always quoting Hoxha). If all you want to do is throw a pre-formed formula at me then I'm not going to entertain your ideas, its boring as fuck. And at least when other users do it, its a formula that has some relevance because its related to something in the real world.

But DNZ's only experience with the communist movement or the movements of the working class, is interacting with people on the internet. He's never done a day of real life revolutionary work/organizing before, and I mean, I'm no fan of the activist ghetto, but don't try and preach to me about party-alternative culture and shit if you've never even begun to participate/build in anything remotely related to it.



I know you think its cool that he uses big (made up) words, and digs up obscure events and theorists in order to support his ideas, and this makes you feel intellectually superior, and thats what you're really after, but that phase will pass.

Bordiga doesn't really interest me that much, but he has some relevance because his ideas laid the foundations for very large movements which effected Italian politics (and to some degree the politics of other countries) for a few decades.

Marxism is a science, like I said. It isn't always directed at sparking the fire in class based movements. Were Freud and Darwin irrelevant, too? I don't see a problem with theoretically based Marxists, and to criticize them for not "becoming activists" and "getting into the movement" is simply Moralist horse shit.


I won't attack his theoretical material because he is one of the most formulaic and dogmatic posters on here.

So basically, you lack the ability to.


Much like what you like to hate in Ismail for, if you ever say anything to DNZ, or happen across a post of his its almost always him quoting some dumb shit he made up (much like Ismail is always quoting Hoxha).

No, I distaste Ismail because of his dismissive and slanderous behavior, i.e., Anyone who disagrees with him, he will call either an apoligist for "Juche, Revisionism, Soviet Social Imperialism (for not supporting the "Afghan people" against the Soviet Union).

I oppose Ismail because his mystified world view catagorizes everyone within the constraint of Hoxhaist thought, (He'd call a Left Communist a Titoist), when certain currents of Marxism haven't crossed the mind of his dear leader.


If all you want to do is throw a pre-formed formula at me then I'm not going to entertain your ideas, its boring as fuck. And at least when other users do it, its a formula that has some relevance because its related to something in the real world.


Well, sorry structurally based Marxist thinking doesn't entertain you. Just don't go ahead and insult people for actually taking it seriously.


But DNZ's only experience with the communist movement or the movements of the working class, is interacting with people on the internet.

Even if that was true (which, evidently, you don't know), that does not negate what theoretical material he has to present to the forum.


He's never done a day of real life revolutionary work/organizing before,

That doesn't mean anything. I didn't expect you of all people to jump on the moralist bandwagon. Marxian theorists have nothing to offer, physically, to the communist movement. The Communist movement is a working class movement, (Or, at least it was) for them to lead and organize sponaniously. To think that Marxists should all grab their kalashnikovs and jump into the scene is going to change anything, is absurd. The Proletarian movement is not formed by external forces and theorists. It is entirely built based on their interests, to think it can be artificially built is an insult to them as a whole.


I mean, I'm no fan of the activist ghetto, but don't try and preach to me about party-alternative culture and shit if you've never even begun to participate/build in anything remotely related to it.


See above.



I know you think its cool that he uses big (made up) words,

:confused: I've been sympathetic with DNZ because he raises a lot of questions users here like to avoid, and lacks the eclectic mode of thinking a lot of users here have. I think it's pretty pathetic of you to dismiss me in such a way, and, I almost feel sorry for you. It must feel empowering for you to assume things about younger users when you know fuck all, anyway.


and digs up obscure events and theorists in order to support his ideas,

This is an internet forum. I'm sorry it isn't entirely composed of people talking about their personal experiences with tiny-ass movements that are, unquestionably, irrelevant. The real irrelevance is this moralist, spontaneous burst of behavior, the feeling that you "Need to do something", that "people are starving". The ultimate tragedy is that his accomplishes absolutely nothing, when an organic proletarian movement hasn't arisen in response to material conditions, rather than cmoney running around with signs, or trying to convert people. At least people like DNZ acknowledge he isn't affecting the class-based movement at all. What saddens me is people like you who think they are.


and this makes you feel intellectually superior,

I get at what you are assuming.


Cmoney's thoughts in regards to an explanation as to why I don't bash DNZ:

My goal is to feel intellectually superior, so here comes this guy who apparently spouts out all of this pretentious, yet bizzare and obscure posts with "big words", and, if I adhere to him and worship him, perhaps I could be that way too, unlike other users, who do not use big words?


and thats what you're really after, but that phase will pass. (just like your stalinist one, and your left-communist one)


The days of "phases" are over for me. Between aproxemently the first six months I was all over the place (After all, learning Marxist theory is not easy, especially when all of your books are taken and burned, when all sorts of fucked up shit are going on in real life).

There was never a real, structurally-solid Left Communist "phase" for me. I started out as an Anti Imperialist "Marxist Leninist", and adhered to Council Communism because I was a Utopian and thought it sounded cool.

Big fucking deal.

I haven't "found a new shiny gem" and scrapped those two. I've scrapped all forms of Libertarianism and council-fetishes, though, I still have minor Stalinist and some Left Communist influences in my mode of thinking (I concur with their analysis of Imperialism, Bordiga's works on Democracy, class dictatorship, violence, etc., though I also agree with the Stalinist concepts of Militant Egalitarianism, of purging all forms of bourgeois "free speech", the concept of a strong Transitional socialist state, etc.).

The only difference now is that I'm not a tool of any current of Marxist thought (As I recognize today, most are opportunists who have bastardized Marxism).

Cmoney, your assumptions, your analysis and explanation as to what my thoughts are, how I think, and how I will think, are absolutely pathetic and laughable. It's almost as bad as those who say I have a violence fetish personally. I don't what your political views are, and why, and I am prepared to admit that. I'm not going to go and assume something I pulled out of my ass based on a quick glance from one of your posts. Can you say the same about others?

This might work, we'd have to construct a couple simple bunk houses. Then we'd have to set up some farms. Preferably growing some psychedelic cash crops and Some corn as well (for food). Then we'd need to buy weapons for the Revlefters who don't have any (I've got one). After that we'd just have to keep trying to expand our farm.
