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

They didn't cover next to anything that Sakai covered in Settlers in my history classes; for damned sure. ~~Let's hear about why you find it to be 'a bad book'; because the only 'critique' I ever hear about it seems to be coming from aggrieved settlers who don't like what they're reading from an accountability standpoint; and I want to see if you're any different to that trend.~~

Been there, argued that, not wasting the electrons again. Go away.

I forgot, we’ve had this conversation before. He thinks Sakai is too critical of CPUSA’s favorite people.

I'm non-white. The person misquotes several people and attacks several orgs I know in-person for being. We don't even know the person's credentials or whether they are a "Sakai" to begin with. Prove to me the credentials of the person and maybe I'll take what the person says at face-value; until then, read it critically and maybe consider the other side of the story when it comes to documenting the labor movement.

Man, I told you I'd been there and done that with you already. With all due respect, please fuck off. We've been here before, and I'm utterly disinterested in the anti-accountability horseshit you peddle. "Buh buh buh we don't know who he really is" like we don't have a LONG FUCKING HISTORY of pseudonymous publishing. For someone who's non-white, you sure as shit argue like a white man. Fuck outta here.

Uh, I'm not against accountability. We also don't really have a long history of pseudonymous publishing or one that's really that extensive. Why are you attacking and acting rude toward me? It's literally just one book out of many...
