Update: they have ascertained that Parabola was Wisconcom lmao. In that light, if correct, it's more of a wrecker doing what he does than the project failing. We still don't have a lot of info though. They've written about it here: https://wiki.leftypol.org/wiki/Leftypedia:Community_hub

Earlier today, the new rendition of Leftypedia finally imploded. Going off the block list, it's a real mess.

Leftypedia was brought back from its last incarnation in early 2023. If you remember (or not), it had issues with Wisconcom then who latched onto it. The problem is because they had no active admins and couldn't find them, they couldn't ban him indefinitely.

Eventually, they did find new admins who kicked the project back into gear, or at least they tried to.

Earlier today though, it seems there has been a split and one of the admins (Parabola) basically banned all the others as well as several other users. Where it gets weird is that another admin (Aussig) then banned Parabola, but didn't undo the bans Parabola issued. Aussig also banned me and Forte's account, which we used back when Wisconcom was on there, for "ideological deviations", but Aussig calls themselves a Marxist-Leninist on their user page.

From what I understand there was a split between the different tendencies. So anyway that's how the "left unity" wiki is going lol sorry but this is funny.

A lot of literature seems to either be a pseudo-Hagiography or calls the BPD revisionist trash. Any good respectful critics of the methods and strategies of the Black Panthers and how they could have done better?

Stolen from instagram

Like, every Youth Liberation group I find, especially on reddit (r/youthrights), it's 50% age of consent talk and and a lot of "Me, a 16 year old, am mature enough to have my 30 year old boyfriend." And the groups seem about as sketch. I really find the rights of youth and their mistreatment overlooked, but I don't know. Seems off.

The 1% have 30.3% of the wealth. The next 9% have 36.6%. The next 40% have 30.6%. The bottom 50% have 2.5%.

In May 1990 speech Secretary General Manfred Wörner said "The very fact that we are ready not to deploy NATO troops beyond the territory of the Federal Republic gives the Soviet Union firm security guarantees."

This shows 2 things:

1. As we already knew NATO had told the Soviet Union although that it would not move further East than East Germany
2. They understood full well that NATO moving East was seen as threatening by USSR given the promise not to do so was a "security guarantee" for them.

"There are many whites who are trying to solve the problem, but you never see them going under the label of liberals. That white person that you see calling himself a liberal is the most dangerous thing in the entire Western Hemisphere.

He's the most deceitful, he's like a fox, and a fox is always more dangerous in the forest than the wolf. You can see the wolf coming, you know what he's up to.

But the fox will fool you, he comes at you with his mouth shaped in such a way that even though you see his teeth, you think he's smiling and take him for a friend."

Has anyone watched the new episode from First Thought/JT?
