Inspired by a similar thread in the politics section, this thread will index threads on a number of historical issues that frequently come up here.

Members are encouraged to recommend additions to this list, and mods are welcomed to edit it and make additions.

I don't have a ton of time right now, so I made some categories which I couldn't find threads for quickly. Let's fill them in. I remove this disclaimer then.

Well discussions about Polpot and Khmer Rouge which are also somewhat frequently discussed are missing IMO.

Thread 2 (http://www.revleft.com/index.php?showtopic=56388&hl=Polpot)
Thread 3 (http://www.revleft.com/index.php?showtopic=40411&hl=Polpot)
Thread 4 (http://www.revleft.com/index.php?showtopic=32040&hl=Polpot)
Thread 5 (http://www.revleft.com/index.php?showtopic=26794&hl=Polpot)

Horseshit. None of the links can be viewed anymore, they just redirect you to the homepage. Alright, I'm gonna start this over tomorrow. If there are threads or topics you want added to this list or if you just want to help me post the links to the threads here.

There are no 'normal' threads older than July 2016 as far as I can tell. Stickies like this may be older but in effect the 'old' site no longer exists.

Welcome to a RevLeft purged both of members and its own history. I'm sure Pol Pot would have approved.

Wow, this is pretty terrible... som much valuable discussions and information gone to waste.
Does anyone know if it was done deliberately or if it's some kind of programing blunder and the threads still exist somewhere?

I haven't done much searching around for specific topics but you might want to try searching through the Groups. http://www.revleft.com/vb/group.php there are some short but relevant discussions with additional info (links etc..) from knowledgeable users dating back past whenever the alleged cut off point was in 2013 or w/e.

Yes, that's exactly what SocialismBeta said 18 months ago in post #13. Nothing has been done about it since.
