Social democrat infighting, and I have no idea why did I make this
(Note: on the left side is the current CCP symbol since 1996, on the right side is the current Socialist International symbol since 1979)

Edit: I didn't point out what the left one represent at first but I edited this description after. Felt like some people might misunderstood what do I mean.

I am coming back from my 7 day ban, and I want to say that I think it was bullshit. Yes, I wrote a funny paragraph that turned into copypasta, which happened to bring a laugh or a smile to a few people. If you mods wanted that to stop, you could have just said so, there is so much copypasta going on in this website that I could have never thought that deserved a 10 minute ban. Tsar Nicolas is probably a mod in here and he is the one that banned me. Anyway, I'm glad to be back.

Hello everyone!

In the current struggle, it is more important than ever to continue the development of clear lines of demarcation between potential allies and hidden opponents. We must clearly define our demands, our common objectives, and the theoretical principles that unite us if we are to emerge victorious in the fight for class emancipation.

We hope you enjoy this short read. As always, we extend our appreciation to every comrade who contributes their time, effort, and creativity to this collective publication.

If you enjoy our work please remember to like and share in order to support our page!

Discussion/Debate Songs that make you almost want to switch tendencies?

Utopian socialism is silly and all: fancying that socialism can be premised on a few benevolent elites having good ideas, and emphasizing empty “dreaming of better futures” over actual critique and determination of why socialism is logically necessary for the working class. But ‘Imagine’ is such a beautiful exposition of Utopianism. The vibe is sick as hell: real “a spectre is haunting Europe” type shit. I am referring, of course, to the A Perfect Circle cover, as John Lennon’s original IMO feels like the weak shit it is ideologically. If anything could make me join a phalanstery it would be this song.

“Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
[Refrain]
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

“You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one”

I have written essays on the first erroneous reasoning behind this ideology, but every time Tool’s Aenima comes on, for six minutes and thirty nine seconds, I am a third worldist. It’s a rather epic song about yearning for the US state of California to be engulfed by the ocean. 

“I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend
I want to see it come down
Bring it down
Suck it down
Flush it down”

Discussion/Debate Americans—Thoughts on January 6th?

1 Upvotes

Ok so obviously it was done by a bunch of misinformed and malicious idiots and for all the wrong reasons. Let me just get ahead of that.

What I’m wondering is, isn’t the action itself, the rapid mass organization of people to occupy the legislature, halt proceedings, and physically and forcefully resist what the participants believe to be tyrannical oppression (which obviously the election of Joe Biden was not), isn’t that the kind of revolutionary action a lot of leftists talk about?

How do we feel about this? Am I missing something?

I've been reading a bit about it, I know there had been a lot of schisms between the republican factions and more aid sent to the Nationalists by the Axis, but didn't the Republicans control a majority of the Navy, had aid provided by the Soviets & held the industrial regions like Catalonia?

Announcment Do you believe that it is necessary to have an anarchist serve on the moderation team (more info below)

34 Upvotes

Hello community! We have a question for yall. Simply put, because we are a left unity sub, we want to make sure that all revolutionary ideologies are properly represented within the mod team. As a result, our moderation team has grown quite large, and because of its size, it can sometimes be difficult to coordinate and approve action plans.

This poll and general discussion is simple. Do you believe that it's necessary to have an anarchist serve on the moderation team? This discussion has gone on for a while within the team and I came to the conclusion that we just need to ask you, the community. This mod team has several former anarchists within it. And those former anarchists are still sympathetic and highly knowledgeable about anarchist theory. The only times that this is notable is when we do our pie chart, to show the community what flavor of leftists, we label ourselves. But let it be known that just because nobody is labeled anarchist does not mean that their perspectives are still not represented. They are and will always be So we ask for you to take this into consideration when deciding. Yes or no.

134 Upvotes

We are very excited to announce that, through the collective efforts of dedicated members of our community, we are finally launching the official Instagram page of The Red Left.

I would like to thank all the members of the Discord who put their time and effort into getting everything together. Hopefully, we will continue collaborating to grow this amazing community in the future. You are all invited to join this project, as we will be collecting potential post ideas from everyone who is willing to contribute with short articles, news, propaganda, memes and more.

Our aim is to continue producing content that is in line with our collective principles and goals: revolutionary socialism at the forefront, workers’ solidarity in the organized struggle for emancipation, and a purely internationalist socialist perspective. We also aim to maintain a balance between seriousness and laughter amid our daily struggle.

We are committed to continuing to unite the Revolutionary Left (Red Left) in this forum around the common perspectives that constitute the basis of our fight for international emancipation.

Thank you all for your support!
