What does your username mean?

[M-L-C-F]

The topic is pretty self-explanatory. Mine means: Marxist-Leninist-Castroist-Fidel.

What about you guys?

[Remus Bleys]

Remus is of course from Romulus and Remus. Bleys is from the Amber Chronicles by Roger Zelazny (great series-es btw),Bleys was one of the princes.

[Bala Perdida]

Cooperation is key. We need to stop attacking each other and cooperate for the revolution. As well as cooperating with the people to bring a 'painless' revolution.
EDIT: Yeaaah,screw that. I just couldn't think of a name back then. WOOOOOOOO!

[Marshal of the People]

Marshal of the People basically means that I shall lead the proletariat to victory over the bourgeois in a violent revolution.

Don't take it seriously, I couldn't think of a proper name at sign up so I chose something of the top of my head which sounded slightly revolutionary, this is what I chose. I have grown quite fond of it and don't intend to change it any time soon.

[sixdollarchampagne]

The $6 champagne story: A few years ago, when I was living in Providence, it was New Year's Eve, and a friend of mine was going downtown to watch people celebrate the New Year, so I said, "I am going to have some of this champagne," that I had bought for six dollars at Broadway Liquor, "now, and, when you come back, if I'm not blind, you can have some too." :)

[Rugged Collectivist]

You see, I'm rugged and a collectivist...

There was a really obnoxious libertarian who posted in OI, his user title was "rugged individualist" so I chose my name as a joke. He left a little while before I signed up though.

[Anglo-Saxon Philistine]

My first username, Semendyaev, was a reference to a mathematical manual, quite popular among physicists in Croatia, written by Bronstein, Semendyaev, Musiol and Muehlig. Bronstein, of course, was Trotsky's real surname.

My current username is self-deprecatory; it comes from a verse of "O'Malley's bar" by Nick Cave:

"Then I squeezed my hand in its fraudulent claw
With its golden hairless chest
And I glided through the bodies
And killed the fat man Vincent West"

[Chris]

Comradely Heteronormative Radical and Insurrectionary Socialist

I am a Fourth Internationalist because I believe in the principles of the Fourth International before its degeneration.

mine started as an internet joke based off of a random username from elsewhere

[Sinister Intents]

Sinister is from the Latin 'Sinistra' meaning left, my username means left intentions pretty much.

[The Jay]

That is actually pretty cool. Good job.

[Leftsolidarity]

I think mine is pretty straight forward. I think it's more important to find common ground with other revolutionaries than to just dismiss them as another tendency and get into sectarian diatribes.

That said, though, some "Leftists" are pretty awful and I don't even have a handshake to give them. I've thought about changing it but I can't think of anything I'd really want and it feels cool to have the same username the whole time I've been here.

[Art Vandelay]

Inertia is the resistence of an object to change in its state of motion. Sometimes I feel like it accurately describes myself.

Ice pick was the tool that was used to murder Trotsky and I liked the irony of the user name.

9mm I just thought sounded cool I guess.

The other user names I've had aren't worth mentioning.

[Bad Grrrl Agro]

Sasha is the nickname Ema Goldman used for Alexander Berkman

That is because Sasha is generally a nickname for Alexander. Hell, I had a good friend who was named Alexandra (that is what the sign said on her office door) but she pronounced and spelled her name Aleksashka and people called her Sasha or Sashka for short. It's based off the Russian/Eastern European version of the name. Alexander Berkman was born in Russia.

[Brutus]

Mine is an anagram of Jim Morrison that he made.

[ArisVelouxiotis]

Sinister is from the Latin 'Sinistra' meaning left, my username means left intentions pretty much.

Whaaa...
I thought sinister=bad and it was just a joke.
But then I remembered that beingleft handed was considered bad and so the word sinistro became the word evil,bad etc.
Nice name anyhow

[Hit The North]

My name is the title of a song by The Fall and I'm from the north of England and I feel like hitting something. And my cat goes 'eeeee-ack'.

That's why.

[Slavoj Zizek's Balls]

Don Quixote's horse. Poor thing.

[Zukunftsmusik]

I came over the word in Capital. I'd love to find the actual quote, but marxists.org use a different translation (there it's translated as "castles in the air" - which is a phrase that appears in other works as well) and I can't seem to find the exact paragraph. I also can't be arsed to go through my physical copy.

It literally means "music of the future". It was originally coined by Wagner, I think, when he described the music he wanted to make. I like the double sense of it - Marx used it to describe ideas coming out of thin air, but it also has a more positive ring to it, kind of resembling that part in the 18th Brumaire about how communism needs to borrow its poetry from the future. The word itself sounds good, too, I think.

EDIT: There is in fact a whole wikipedia article on it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_the_Future) Appears I was wrong about how Wagner originally used it, though.

[Zukunftsmusik]

It's also the nickname of Alexander Shulgin, the godfather of ecstacy. Cool name brah. :grin:

I think it's a normal nickname for anyone named Alexander, in fact. It least in certain parts of Europe.

[Queen Mab]

Queen Mab is a fairy, first appearing in Shakespeare, that visits people in the night and and gives them pleasant dreams. In Shelley's eponymous poem she appears to a sleeping woman and shows her the history of the world, ending with the vision of a communist utopia.

[Os Cangaceiros]

A group of French insurrectionary communists back during the 70's, IIRC. They named themselves after Brazilian social bandits (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canga%C3%A7o).

[adipocere]

adipocere (pronounced ada-pa-seer)
is a nice word for an incredibly vile substance. It is also known as mortuary fat or gravewax. Just Google the word.

Nothing revolutionary behind it - it just a screen-name I've used for like 10+ years.

[Anglo-Saxon Philistine]

Old Norse for "Raven".

It also sounds far too much like the South Slavic word for a doughnut. Your posts make me hungry.

[tachosomoza]

Anastasio "Tacho" Somoza Debayle. A Nicaraguan dictator with a cool name that was assassinated by a poet.

[Il Medico]

Il medico means 'the doctor' in Italian, or more accurately 'the medical doctor or a medical doctor', however that was not the intended translation. This is my user name for two reasons, which are as follows:
1. I'm a massive Doctor Who fan.
2. I like to sound fancy by using foreign words for things because I'm a phony. I usually go French but 'le docteur' wasn't fancy enough (or all that foreign sounding to be honest.)

[Thirsty Crow]

Reference to the Bremen left radicals who formed one of the nuclei of the (then to be) KAPD.


Queen Mab is a fairy, first appearing in Shakespeare, that visits people in the night and and gives them pleasant dreams. In Shelley's eponymous poem she appears to a sleeping woman and shows her the history of the world, ending with the vision of a communist utopia. You always remind of that old love of mine, Percy. Thanks for that :lol:

[Dennis the 'Bloody Peasant']

Reference to a character in Monty Pythons's Holy Grail: a peasant called Dennis who is part of a small anarcho-syndicalist commune in medeival Britain, who debunks King Arthur's claim to 'supreme executive power' based solely on him having obtained a sword from a 'strange' woman' lying in a pond. Arthur gets frustrated with Dennis' critical analysis and roughs him up, calling him a 'bloody peasant'.

[Agent Ducky]

Agent Ducky. Like a secret agent ducky. Maybe it works with Agent P from Phineas and Ferb. I gotta recolor that avatar and give it a checkered tie.

But you know what bugged me about Percy? That he made a Christ-like figure out of Aeschylus' Prometheus. Not that I can't see the actual sense in that...but I'm deeply ambivalent about Prometheus Unbound (but adore it nonetheless)

[Sentinel]

Lots of people thought I chose mine after the seeker-destroyer robots in the Matrix, seeing I had an avatar from that movie and was (well still am) quite a technophile/anti-primitivist. I found that quite entertaining, as I liked the Matrix because I saw the 'machine-cratia' in it as an analogy for the capitalist system - and the sentinels in the story were working for the system.

So what does the name mean then? Well, it was actually mostly after the Judas Priest song The Sentinel. Rob Halford is the Metal God. :)

[Workers-Control-Over-Prod]

I chose my name out of a good reason. I sympathized with the Communists for quite a while, but once I read Marx I had an "aha!" moment, understanding what the practical point of Socialist politics is: Workers-Control-Over-Prod(uction). I felt like this is not expressed enough and is something that should be laid out as the basic premise for unity among those who want to change this world.

[helot]

Helots were subjugated workers under the dominion of Spartan citizens during classical antiquity. Their status is actually kinda interesting as they were not chattel but serf-like. They were assigned to citizens to carry out domestic duty and had to surrender a portion of their produce to Sparta. They could contract their own unions and unlike chattel their numbers came through birth and not prisoners of war.

[Geiseric]

Geiseric was the Vandal chieftain who sacked Rome for the final time, after leading his army which included ex roman slaves and eastern European barbarians against their former masters. Of course he was still a bloodthirsty warlord, he wasn't really a great guy like spartacus, but I don't want to mistakenly associate with the sparts.

But the point of Marxism and socialism is to get rid of class society. The working class can literally control the MOP but still be exploited.

Coincidentally this reminds me of a rich collector urologist whose family was once interviewed I believe by Ripleys because he actually owned Napoléons dick which he purchased in Paris for around 3,000 dollars. Apparently when Napoléon died his cock was removed during autopsy and so the story of his traveling willy began. Unfortunately, he was pretty small (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/napoleons-penis-size-confirmed-channel-4-documentary-calls-the-artifact-very-small-9235101.html). I could see a similar situation involving Žižek. Even with your scenario it's problematic in that finding a pillow large enough and pedestal strong enough to carry the weight of his massive man bits, would be difficult.

Ugh, hehe I don't think so. That would bring the thoughts to corporate security guards more than watchmen in general, an association I'd rather be without.

But thanks!

[Lily Briscoe]

Lily Briscoe is a character from Virginia Woolf's 'To The Lighthouse', which is one of my favorite books.

[StromboliFucker666]

I put my genitals inside of potatoes and listen to black metal


(OOC) It comes from a character in the Game of thrones episodic game and the 666 part comes from a song I was listening to (OOC end)

[Sentinel]

Edit, I'm not changing my name, at least not at this point. I've been Sentinel for so fucking long now, that I can't even change my name into something that means the same thing. I'll keep the Kurdish version as a user title though :)

I actually had to look up what "Stromboli" is because I knew it only as the name of an island. As far as I can tell it's an American invention. I would call that a weird calzone, although to be fair if I saw "weird calzone" on a menu I would be very worried and probably excuse myself from the restaurant.

I'm Jacob and I'm y'comrade.

lmao

I think they gave it the name Stromboli just because it sounds relatively Italian and it has Italian ingredients.

[Guardia Rossa]

Red Guard in Italian.

Other name was Greavyard, I wasn't exactly a good english student. Took the name up at a game where I joined the "evil, dark side" (I always liked the "dark side", from picking Venom over Spider Man to being a annoying nazikid in my 12's) (The game was awesome but I forgot it's name) and I kept the name going for... until now actually. Now I'm changing it all to Guardia Rossa. Damnatio Memoriae.

[Zoop]

I honestly have no idea.

Trap queen shawty lmfao

[Invader Zim]

It means that I have awesome taste in cartoons and have done for about a decade.

[ShadowStar]

My username is taken from the anime and manga, Shadow Star.

[Aslan]

Redeagle was originally what it was because I was a socialist Albanian. But then I thought the name was too cliche.

I changed it to my favorite Albanian historical figure from my youth. Ali Pasha Tepelena, who was called the lion of Janina or "Aslan" by his Turkish enemies. His story was off ass-kicking until he got betrayed by the Greeks and his head was chopped off.

[Communist Mutant From Outer Space]

My name is derived from an obscure 1980s video game for the Atari 2600's cassette add-on; the "Starpath Supercharger". The game was simply called "Communist Mutants From Space" (I added "Outer" because it was more in line with Golden Age-era science fiction tropes), and the title is nothing more than a sardonic hyperbolic mockery of Cold War "Red Scare" geopolitics in the west. The game itself is a revamped "Space Invaders" clone with a few new sprites; nothing special.

There's actually an American eBay listing for it here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Atari-2600-Supercharger-Arcadia-Starpath-Game-Communist-Mutants-From-Space-/291571575413?hash=item43e3052a75:g:RAsAAOSwuTxWAiJ H

I don't think it was available in Europe sadly. I've always had the notion of naming a band after it, but apparently according to my recent eBay search somebody already had the idea... goddamn proto-hipsters being more hipster than me.

[Ismail]

"Ismail" is named after Ismail Qemali, who proclaimed Albanian independence in 1912 and became its first leader. He sought to establish a bourgeois democracy in the country after centuries of feudal stagnation and was at once opposed by the aforementioned feudals who tried overthrowing him with foreign backing. The Western powers created an International Control Commission giving themselves the role of "safeguarding" Albania's internal affairs, and then found a pretext upon which to dismiss him and instead appoint a German prince who knew nothing about the country and who brought the leader of feudal reaction into his cabinet. Then World War I happened, Albania got occupied by various countries, and at that point I'm not talking about Ismail Qemali anymore.

I also like the name Ismail, so yeah.

[Q]

I've recently amended the subheading "free radical - like a boss" to a more fitting "tectonic revolutionary" as times are rather slow paced now and the tasks ahead will take years, maybe longer.

The project I'm involved in, Communist Platform, aims to transform the existing workers movement, by again merging it with the goal of socialism. Our immediate aim is the (Dutch) Socialist Party, which is - for better or worse - currently the highest political expression of the Dutch workers movement, of any relevance anyway. We're almost two years old now and have made some headway, but things are moving... tectonic and I'm expecting this to continue in times ahead.

[Art Vandelay]

I am Art Vandelay. Art Vandelay is me.

I'm a fairly obscure published author, hold a degree in architecture, my work with whales in the field of marine biology has been of some note, and I also dabbled in the import-export game in my youth. You may have heard of me before.

You know what irritates me about King Zog the most? His descendants have the audacity to claim Albania over Archaic ''rights''. Hell I've even met one of them, a pompous bourgeois parasite.

Hell I've even met one of them, a pompous bourgeois parasite.I remember one Albanian-American woman was talking about what an evil dictator Enver Hoxha was because of what happened to her family under him. Naturally, I asked who her family were. Turns out they were large landowners who supported the Balli Kombëtar (aka anti-communist "resistance" movement during WWII that ended up collaborating with the occupiers.)

[The Garbage Disposal Unit]

It means "Everywhere they have chosen [me]."

[criticalrealist]

"criticalrealist" refers to Roy Bhaskar's critical realism. Roy was a philosopher at the University of London. Although I am a Marxist-Luxemburgist, Roy was a libertarian Marxist.

[RosaAntonio]

Rosa as in Luxemburg. Antonio as in Gramsci.

Long live the revolution - inquilabzindabad

[Ale Brider]

Ale Brider is a title of a yiddish song and it means "all brothers". It is a rather upbeat song that celebrates friendship, unity, and joy. With the title, the lyrics, and the song itself, I think Ale Brider is fit for a left environment.
