Dont Mess With Sucess
Post rating: +++++
My recent surprise conversation with a modern day wddp regular concluded that both our forum and that'n have matured drastically over the years. We both described our respective hidey holes as "marxist" although there are more anarchists over there than here. And it seems there as here a major topic of conversation is left splitting and the need for solidarity and more motherfuckin Marxism. And therefore this thread, to float some kind of ambassadorship or cross pollination.

The advantages for us, we'd have more people checking our ideas, contributing to our threads and adding to the understanding of what the hell is god damn happening out there; for the Wddp folks, a public but still moderated area to air things that should be public, and access to the front page for to pop the buttery agit propcorn, or whatever pun appeals to you.

We would provide basic moderation such as, the ability to issue probations in your own thread, disallowing pasting from wddp into Rhizzone of anything slightly sensitive, these are pretty normal courtesies that I assume we'd extend to any friendly forum or person.

I know this thread is kind of cheesey but detente seemed like an easy goal given the mutual disgust with divisiveness on the Left and also with capitalism. At the very least it would be nice to hear from another group of people who don't have to be explained how Mao did not personally eat all the babies or whatever. Any Wddp people who want an account here for some debate & discussion, can pass a username & valid email address through Wddp native "mugabe glasses".

Thoughts / feelings / abscesses?

Sounds like a good idea, it would be nice to get other left/Marxist perspectives. I tried to join wddp years ago, but they were invite only, so I just followed this place instead, and thus I don't know much about that forum.

thanks for the invitation but we detest the rhizzone's attempt to popularize marxist thought with the ideologically bankrupt and bourgeois notion of a "front page." we hope in time you will purge the crypto-trotskyites from your ranks but until then there can be no peace between our two communities as we maintain a hard line on communism in one hermetically-sealed forum, and do not break bread with internationalists

so old lf on sa was contemporary with helldump, within which the worst debate & discussion poster thread became a chat thread, and was booted off sa for making fun of mods too much. they made an offsite to keep posting in the one thread. later old lf was booted off sa for more or less similar reasons except also there was the secret service thing, and new lf was hosted on the wddp site in a separate subforum. new lf started with very little moderation but tensions within old lf were magnified and posters drifted into divergent visions for the forum and expressed these disagreements by being really shitty to one another and admins stepped in with new rules, mods, and various interventions, which didn't work. it got too stressful to mod and lf was booted off the wddp site, and the posters of lf split into three postdoms, the 'zzone, the post*, and the stay-behinds. anyway i think over time the difference in our visions of what a good forum would be have crystallized and become reflected in the really existing forums and there's no real sort of getting closer as communities possible. but a few people might be interested in reading or posting or w/e

I was reading postplace this weekend, with my postplace account which is in good standing there. But that forum is dead actually. Looks like the community died off, there were only a couple of posts in the political subforum in all of 2017.

You're confusing it. When LF got kicked off wddp for driving the admins up the wall, they moved to postgarden. But the person in charge again got sick of it - that may have been when the anime war between Slashie and MM went down - so it moved again to postplace. It's the wddp LF successor, it's not right wing. Urbandale, me, bnw, etc have accounts there, it's just dead.

statickinetics used to post stuff there, Shape of Jizz to Cum, some other good posters were there. We could make a thread inviting them to post here since that place is dead, but uh, tHE r H i z z o n E's reputation is pretty poisoned there, so I don't think it would work. Everyone seems to think this site is full of transphobes and bigots for some reason, even though there's only a few of those posting here!

that whole narrative developed because khamsek/discipline made this forum happen and they didn't like her. anyway a bunch of your best old friends are here, i think
