Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Honestly, MLs tend to do this with a lot of convos, I feel.

How can you see that? I was really liking Makan's effort to generate weekly conversation, then saw yesterday they were banned and had to look back in their history to find this whole thread. I've got no dog in this fight as I'm stuck in a region where our only option is a practically defunct DSA chapter so was just floating through the lefty void.

It's in the modlog:

I also like Makan, and think they have great contributions.

I'm not an admin, and can't speak for them. I think there's something to the temp ban, though. Every party in the U$ is bad in some way, and it's poor form not to recognize that in some way.

If Makan had just said, "yeah, they're flawed but they're the only party around me. I like the work we do here", that wouldn't have been a problem.

Just about every criticism that was put forward of CPUSA was warranted (if kind of piled on, and not really relevant to the thread).

Thanks for the link. I admit I'm a fairly quiet DSA member in my area but we def have our flaws too. I am on the mailing list for CPUSA and was looking into starting up a chapter in my area but I'm not sure if the effort that would be needed to put into it would be worth it since it's a Republican stronghold and even the Dem presence is shit here.
