Quote from: comrade simbaFrom what I've seen so far Firebrand hasn't said anything that has a snowballs chance in hell of breaking through the couchmind of The Mass of Men or the stock portfolios of the Fortunate Ones.
K-Dog once posted the 10 Steps To Being A Good American Communist Party Member, I don't think that list wasrelated to Firebrand though.
K-Dogs list looked like the self improvement 10 steps they hand out to dopers and alcoholics trying to get better, just sort of self improvement stuff.
Nothing about much in the way of how to become a cool/hip communist, versus a Stalin/Mao type. Just be good, do good, don't lie, like I said, looked like anyone's 10 step recovery program.

I think most originality on the internet was disappearing by 2010, being taken by the soon to be internet media oligarch types with their silo creating software and directed advertising model. Vacuum everyone up, even the conspircy nutters and whatnot, keep them in one place because, after all, nutters are clickers too!, and diehards wandered off to do the same thing dinosaurs did after they saw the flash in the sky...
