    In my time here, I've been forced to post responses to some of the same questions over and over. I also realize it's not always convinient to do a search before posting. With these two things in mind, I've put together this list of posts on topic frequently brought up here, to better facilitate debate and discussion of them; and in hopes of allowing more new subjects to come up. For some new members, this could also be used as a learning resource. Some questions you have may have already been answered.

    It looks very useful and is a good idea. I don't think there are any new ideas for discussion here yet though.

    Gun control.

    There are dozens of threads regarding that.
    We are not afraid of ruins. Workers built the palaces and cities of Spain and America. We can do it again. The bourgeoisie can destroy their world before abandoning history's stage but we have a new world in our hearts......a world that is growing every moment. It's growing while I talk to you.

    CdL I also suggest to post the main threads on FARC struggle, since we keep seeing the same liberal moanings about them being drugdealers, terrorists, etc

    I think almost all the links must be edited.They all lead to domain registering site since all links point to revolutionaryleft.com not revleft.com. This must be done with as much haste as possible since some new users will be confused by the redirection.
    It is possible to build gigantic factories according to a ready-made Western pattern by bureaucratic command – although, to be sure, at triple the normal cost. But the farther you go, the more the economy runs into the problem of quality, which slips out of the hands of a bureaucracy like a shadow. The Soviet products are as though branded with the gray label of indifference. Under a nationalized economy, quality demands a democracy of producers and consumers, freedom of criticism and initiative – conditions incompatible with a totalitarian regime of fear, lies and flattery.

    The links work again, as Malte has been able to fix the domain problems.

    Hate to be annoying, but you spelled Darfur wrong.
    You seem neat, but...

    They divide us by our color, they divide us by our tongue,
