Welcome again, everyone! Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have a Matrix homeserver, where I am your overlord friendly server admin :), at genzedong.xyz. See this thread for information about our Matrix space.
Short reading list for new MLs here. To find theory, try marxists.org, Anna’s Archive, libgen, or Sci-Hub (for scientific articles). If an article is unavailable, try the Wayback Machine.
Official ban reasoning says it was because of comments he made in the matrix server. His recent post appeared to spark a discussion about the CPUSA which didn’t go down very well, I assume it had something to do with that.
They where uncivil in a discussion about CPUSA, then through around insults and accusations without evidence in the Lemmygrad matrix channel
Is there a lemmygrad specific matrix server? I never saw him in the genzedong one.
Yes there is a lemmygrad spefic one, its less popular than the GZD one but it exists
there’s no separate server (AFAIK), but there is a room at
#internationale:matrix.orgThat is what I ment
👌
His baseless assertions remind me of when he declared ResearchGate ‘alt‐right’, and when I asked for evidence all that he told me was ‘I was there a few times and saw their bad takes.’
Why the fuck would an alt‐right website of all things host a black researcher’s report on Fascist Italy’s mustard gas attacks on Ethiopians? That’s utterly mindless. It pissed me off because I wanted to tell people about a serious subject and the first comment that I got was an ‘I don’t like this source’ comment (and a poorly substantiated one at that). I thought, ‘Fuck, I guess that I can’t link to this one anymore.’
That said, I think that a permanent ban was too long for him.
Judging by the modlog, the ban switched from temporary to permanent after he said some stuff in the lemmygrad matrix room. I have no idea what it was he said, though.
He was throwing a fit and saying he would get hexbear to not federate with us “because he’s on the mod team”
It’s a shame, I think he was a decent poster
Looks like the Hexbear admins said no. Also, no idea where he got the idea that lemmygrad harbors patsuccs.
Also Makan is very sectarian lol, why would he claim that lemmygrad is sectarian like he’s not???
Like I said I wasn’t really worried they would listen to him anyways
Sectarianism is when you allow right and left deviations alongside principled MLs apparently.

Ah yeah he started saying dessalines was a patsoc or some shit right? Which, is that even a thing in europe?
it’s definitely a thing in some European countries; self-proclaimed communists who don’t think they shouldn’t be ashamed of their country’s imperialist past
(I believe dessalines is USian, though)
