the reason I started to read LF was that I read a biography of Stalin and I was so impressed by his and Lenin's beliefs that I became interested in leftist politics.

You can find Deluzian thought in anything though. For instance: these snipes and arguments between prominent posters here that rise up from below the surface, twist and turn in unpredictable directions and then retreat back below the surface. These arguments are often rooted in years of personal histories and Millenia of ideological or political history. There is no beginning or end or middle to these interactions, there is no ‘point’ to them, no resolution and arguably very little meaning: it is a multitude and it is unconscious and it is the perfect illustration of the principles of the rhizome.

I've been an infrequent lurker since the old SA-LF days. My lack of posting can be mainly attributed to the infrequency.

Oh, and I want to give a quick shout out to Impper and the other bookish posters for turning me on to Celine, Mishima, Limonov, and a couple of other writers. I send my gratitude to all of the Good Posters.

The moderating structure here is most definitely rhizzomatic.

I mean what does an admin do and what does a mod do? What powers do they have? What rules are there? From what I can tell all of this is utterly arbitrary, people get probations out of nowhere for nothing, it’s awesome.

How a Midwestern nerd’s site for ICQ pranks became home to one of the internet’s biggest leftist communities is a bit of a mystery.

In Lowtax’s defence though that Cliff guy that made fun of photos + Evil Jeff K + the ICQ pranks were all pretty fucking funny at the time.

My fellow mostly-lurkers or total lurkers,

After a delightful weekend up north with our Queen of the Rhizzone, discipline, I have come to ask you to leave your hideaway for a moment. Why do you lurk and for how long have you been reading these funny-broken-intelligent-disgusting conversations? Do you organize or participate politically offline? Do you lurk out of love or hate of this place? Most importantly to me: if you are another lady lurker, what keeps you from participating in discussion? Plz don't lurk this thread! lurklurklurklurk.

I lurk because I think I generally don't have much to say that is funny or interesting. I've been lurking since the pr0n haul megathread, and what little I have posted began with mspaints of anthropomorphic dicks and later devolved into posts about economics and academia. I don't actually do anything leftisty other than (hopefully) exposing college students to leftist perspectives on economics along with the standard neoclassical fare, so my lack of bona fides is another reason I don't post much.



only a small handful of people here are politically active, i think, but that's all about to change with the impending launch of the Rhizzone Party

I lurked SA since 2001 and LF since its inception. I read it due to the interesting posts and interesting posters. Once it was closed I lurked WDDP and then Postgarden. First due to interesting posts and eventually just to watch a community of a dozen or so self-styled "leftists" implode.

I've been lurking since before LF existed and I'll continue lurking long after the last remnants of LF have died. I am the Ur-lurker. I lurk outside of time and space. I have always been watching and will continue to watch long after the last LF-poster has departed this realm of existence.
