It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
There is already a communist party so they cant use that name, and they werent originally communists so any communist like name wouldnt have made much sense back then.
Okay, but, putting the word "Economic" in your name just sounds nerdy. Call yourself the "Liberation Front" or something cool sounding.
Fuck Crackers Party
That'd at least be edgy. It ain't like southern Africa doesn't have a lot of commie groups with cool names. Zimbabwe African National Union, Zimbabwe African People's Union, People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola, Mau Mau, Spear of the Nation.
Werent those two Zimbabwean parties mortal enemies until the united front happened against Rhodesia? And one of them was Maoist and the other was more orthodox ML and wanted to recruit among the urban proletariat, except Rhodesia had very few of those and quite a lot of angry peasants / landworkers.
I thought Mau Mau was a name the Bri*ish imposed on Kenyan resistance groups rather than a name they used themselves?
Apparently the main revolutionary who said this also said they claimed it as their own. All the possible origins are really neat, and it seems pretty clear the British didn't create the name but rather chose it from the movement's phrases or someplace local as a means of denying the KFLA name which would imply political legitimacy.
Which KFLA also sounds cool as hell when said phonetically
Oh interesting. Thanks for correcting me
Here is his memoir if anyone wants to read it https://archive.org/details/maumaudetaineeac0000kari
Still sounds cool
Don't forget SWAPO which sounds so cool in song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chNWEouwv0U
or my favorite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXo98ViR9IU
Seriously folks check out Namibian communist music, some of the best out there
That was the BLF (Black Land First), but they got banned from elections because they were a bunch of cranks.
The FCP does have a nice ring to it.
Has a distinctly "Not Fuckin Around Coalition" energy to it that I appreciate. Shame that NFAC had some uh. Nasheed-adjacent ideas; they might've been the only hard-radical formation I knew of that Amerika had.
