The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

Named after Iskra, but not a single book by Lenin, 3 by Trotksy and even a couple anarchists. This is the trend among university "communists" over here. If a revolution was successful, it must've not been a real revolution, except for the aesthetics.

They approach history the way a Catholic layperson approaches the theology, by taking every single (out of context) utterance in the text that agrees with their word as unquestionable Word of God.

If Luxemburg didn't like aspects of the October Revolution that obviously means it was bad, because they're not allowed to build critical opinions of their own. Same for Trots and other ultras.
