@queernix I guess my best advice is to focus what we do agree on, which is a lot. Also, I recommend you read some Lenin and Mao and so-on. I don't agree with everything they said, and I certainly don't think they were great leaders (they both were far too controlling and unwilling to share power, in my opinion), but that doesn't mean they weren't brilliant thinkers. They both had great ideas that are valuable to any form of leftist......
@queernix .....and connecting with those figures might help you to connect with their followers. And it gives you a better leg to stand on when you're begging MLs and the like to read Kropotkin ;)
@emerican I actually have a copy of collected works of Lenin (includes What Is To Be Done? and State and Revolution, as well as some others). It's one I've been meaning to get to for a while, but there's just soooo much to read! There needs to be a commie CliffsNotes!
@queernix Hahaha, I totally agree about Commie Cliffs Notes! You can't really trust Wikipedia since reactionary "economists" often go in and undermine the roots of these texts :/ Maybe we should start a CCN project :D
@emerican That's definitely a good idea. How would you run it? Wiki-style but members only? Approval process? Or would you just pick people you knew were trustworthy and ask them to contribute?
@queernix Wiki style would be ideal... I'm guessing it would just require a fairly decent admin team monitoring what folks are writing and editing? I'm not really an expert on this stuff but this community is full of experts on opensource projects!
(Or we can just be totally authoritarian and gatekeep everything? lol)
@emerican Actually, now that I think about it, a sort of "committee of tendencies" would be interesting. Like, someone from each tendency mentioned in an article would need to agree that they're fairly represented? But then, would you break down into bureaucracy? Hmm... this idea is going to fester in my head now!
@queernix Yeah, that sounds good! There's a group called the United International Front that might be interested in chipping in... I interviewed one of their leaders last week and she said they have a pretty active non-sectarian community. Their Twitter is: https://twitter.com/the_uif
@emerican Was that the meat-eating one or the MLs in in SC one? I'm always interested in learning about new leftist groups
@queernix This is one I haven't actually posted yet, still in Editing Hell, haha. But they seem like a pretty cool group, I think they function primarily through a Discord Server at the moment. We should talk them into getting on Mastodon :D
@emerican Absolutely! I'm up for getting everyone into Mastodon, it's far too quiet around here
@queernix Are you on desktop or mobile? On desktop you can add some pinned hashtag feeds to your page, it's great for browsing around and finding folks to connect with! As for mobile... I haven't messed with it much, mostly because I've been trying to keep my phone out of my hands lately
@emerican I go back and forth, and follow a couple tags on desktop! Unfortunately mobile, which I use more, doesn't have it!
@emerican great video! I'd love to hear your thoughts about orthodox Marxism, Leninism, and Maoism, and how we anti-authoritarians can go about working with then in more effective ways. I personally find myself going between "pure" Kropotkin style anarchism, and Luxemburg style libertarian Marxism, and still haven't figured out how to bridge the gap to get to #leftunity
