And you've been pretty s**t for the last week or so. What's the deal there?

Do you have a problem Gracchvs?

Er, yes. I just said that. What's been up with you over the last week-ish? You've been different. In a dickish way.
Gracchvs


Just anxious. I'm doing nothing in terms of the movement and I can't really direct that into anything productive on the internet.

Yep, it sucks, I know what it is like. But please don't be dickish about it. I know it's hard to be productive, but if you are able, just read and post the results of your education. It might not seem like much, but hey.. try it out.

Not trolling or anything, but why not actually start a party/movement/gathering of 'good' communists on the internet. Freehost forums, maybe even a freehost webpage and use that, as opposed to MCS which is inevitably tied to Gaia's reputation, to draw people in.

I'm sure you could manage some kind of monthly mailing list at the very least. Showing off your shiny new hammers and whatnot.

A few reasons:
*Different understandings of what makes a 'good' communist. I'm a pretty constant supporter of the ICL, and view that as the proverbial yeast of a mass revolutionary party. Others disagree. Considering that there is already a party I agree with, why start a new one? Others would likely feel the same way about their own pet parties/tendencies.

*Internet groups are inevitably cliquish, this sucks, and is unavoidable.

*There are other sites which claim to do that, and they are absolute s**t. However, I'm not a hypocrite, so I'm not about to make a similarly s**t site due to my poor designing and organisation skills, and I'm not about to advise others who would probably make a similarly s**t site.

*Gaia is huge and as such has a number of leftists sympathetic to socialism. Recruiting them to the guild should be easy because they are already here.

*Most importantly, such a group would likely have almost no hold on the individual members. That is, while we have had members who have identified with the guild and have seen it as 'their party and we would likely have people who identify an off-site place in a similar way, the actual politics of the members would be so diverse, and the individuals involved would do their own thing, but under the not!mcs banner.

I may also suggest that we try posting in any and all cat threads that we find. It is proven that leftists love cats, so there have to be some individuals who ha e yet to cross over into an active sphere of politics that may be interested in being recruited.

If I do that, I think I'd be able to recruit more people than Curse =D
