I don’t really think he knows this site’s culture at all. No one is dissuading people from reading theory lol

I disagree that Roderic here is trying to alienate and dived. I see criticism that must be taken into account discussion of discipline among communists and what is to be done is not Left deviation-ism. In the first tweet Roderic is referring to the fact that the building of the vanguard party should be the objective of the communists and that the discussion’s around other method’s should be subordinated to that goal. Although his American comment is perhaps uncharitable I can see that. The second tweet is more controversial I suppose Roderic expected more of a higher standard of discussion out of this forum then he observed (since it is dominated by communists) As this forum is not explicitly a Marxists theory board I do not share in his disappointment as much.
Nailed it.
He just didn’t do much if any research on the history of this place…not that this site is worthy of that anyhow.
Not everyone here is ML and thus we really shouldn’t have an expectation to be any sort of vanguard of democratic centralism as a rev-left unity shitposting forum.
I’d like for our site to move in the direction of his expectations, but our current posture is also good for onboarding anarchists towards ML tendencies. Maybe some coordination discussions should happen between our admins, those of Lemmygrad and .ml, and the Lemmy devs to build a more coherent pipeline strategy, but again, that’s probably assigning too much significance to a collection of shitposting boards.
