I certainly support anyone willing to put in the effort to do 101 posts, reading lists, and help guide baby leftists. However, I'm not willing to start admonishing/deleting/banning comments about how Stalin didn't go far enough or Mao landlord sentiment etc. just to make an imaginary person feel more comfortable. The jarring nature of the culture here may just as easily be weeding out losers as scaring away potential comrades.
I think the best way to bring people around on this site is to have good, insightful, useful, funny posts, to the extent that newcomers look past things that make them uncomfortable because the posts are just that good.
that's true. as a young trot i was so desperate for a community of like-minded leftists i looked past the """"tankie"""" and eventually came to realise that i was wrong
The news mega has been good enough for so long that I think everyone should be pretty skeptical of people showing up and arguing the formula of the site should be oriented around them now. Likely getting jealous! I don't blame them. What sre they supposed to browse? I have my crazy RSS feed but nobody will even listen to me about how to set that shit up.
