Anyway, mainboard leftypol pisses me off how little there seems to be capacity to organize.
What kind of lefty are you first? @JonnyWhatsit
Georgist.
Oh boy.
Is that an issue?
You'd be the first that I know of. I will hold my tongue on the rest.
Yay.
So basically you're just a liberal reformist? @JonnyWhatsit
Still less capitalist than SocDems.
I see establishing the land and its uses as a public resource as extremely radical reform - and acknowledge that it's unlikely to be readily allowed by moneyed interests who profit off of land ownership and exploitation.
I'm still interning in George, but I've read he supported publicizing any private monopolies which managed to form, too.
Were you less pessimistic in the past?
No, actually I'm quite new to Georgism. So this is actually an optimistic turn.
Do you have much exposure to other kinds of Leftism, Marx or Kropotkin?
Nnnope. Very limited. I have "Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State" but I've only touched it barely. I've been party to anarchist communes, and leading up to Georgism I saw myself as a "wannabe anarchist" - IE, I idolized that system but had no real hope of it functioning broadly and only limited hope of it functioning self-sufficiently for production. Also, the communities I was part of, though run by clever people, were full of idpol to the point of masochism.
That's a shame.
There is a lot of content to possibly go through. Are you new to Discord in general?
No, but I don't register this name.
I guess my advice would be to expose yourself to different politics, ask questions and join different Discord servers.
Why do you love leftypol so much?
I don't. Leftypol sucks. It's just one of very few relatively large lefty communities where shitting on idpol and pop-sensitivity stuff is smiled upon. and the divisive identity problems in the mainstream (and even less mainstream) American 'left' are acknowledged and criticized.
I'm not really out to read theory on the servers - I *do* read stuff that piques my interest on the board, but I'm more looking here for discussion where I can participate in some form of action not necessarily related to theory. Not antifa either, just some way to physically help out.
Stay a while. I am not connected to political parties, but others here are. They could help you.
Cool!
@JonnyWhatsit So tell me, what is your ideology?
@Deleted User Scroll up numb nuts.
@Deleted User Let the man answer for himself.
>Let the man repeat himself
Amazing.
Georgism
**No clue if I even spelt this right**
This one has comprehension skills.
@Anglican The fuck is that?
I don't know
Chopin said something like Liberal socdem reformism
Sounds like something that even soc dem's would hate.
Erm...
None of that is inherently opposed
Oh
