Leftypedia imploded. (lemmygrad.ml)

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.

I had a conversation with one of the members of the Leftypedia discord server before my ban yesterday (whom I will not reveal the identity of), and they stated that Parabola has stepped down as administrator.

I thought there would've been more chaos at the discord server, surprisingly it was the opposite. It seems everything happened at either the editor's side or at the admin's side.

What is clear is that Aussig states through paraphrasing their words that:

They said they don't want Leftypedia to be for all Leftist peoples.

In other words, Aussig has directly stated that leftypedia does not want to be leftypedia. They have banned all "revisionist" tendencies including 3 prolewiki accounts that only existed to tackle the issue with Wisconcom existing on the server.

Leftypedia has become a failed experiment it seems. The split between the Hoxhaites and Maoists (Aussig was a maoist when she entered the server* and I know it from my days in that discord server) is real. I'm not surprised at the very least. Parabola kept shitting on anarchists, even banned an anarcho-egoist (or minarchist, doesn't matter) because they were reactionary and espoused anti-marxist views.

In the short amount of time I've been on that server (which is a month I think, a few days after the server's creation) it was clear that this server would break down. It's a funny coincidence that breakdown happened the day after I was banned for being "hostile".

EDIT: Made corrections, see points marked by a *.

What sense of "Maoist" do you mean here? Like Shining Path or just anti-Deng?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

~~Aussig supports the Shining Path.~~ But I don't think the distinction matters much in this case. She claimed to be a maoist in the discord server.

Edit: This statement is corrected because I've later learned that this isn't true from Aussig. However as I stated earlier, the distinction doesn't matter much. She's still an ultra. Everything else is correct.

Aussig supports the Shining Path.

Disgusting, they should talk to socialists alive in Peru so they can slap the shit out of them for being so guilable.
