Question: Are you sure Quinn is a troll and not a victim of trolls?
Because I have come across quite a few leftists indulging in
conspiracy theories and falling for the weirdest kinds of stuff.
Who knows? However, this is not Leftmail. It is Marxmail. I created it
in 1998 as a forum for experienced and committed Marxists. That is why
it has never had more than 1400 subscribers. Doug Henwood terminated
LBO-Talk, which started the same day as Marxmail in 1998 (May Day)
because it had been superseded by FB and Twitter. From what I've seen of
social media, it is no substitute for a mailing list. I have 3,500
"friends". I doubt that more than 500 are the kind of people who can
keep up with the discussion taking place here. I don't see this as
serving the same needs as social media. The goal was to create a space
where people can discuss Lenin's legacy, the revolutionary potential of
the working-class, the nature of imperialism today, etc. I've been
moderating Marxmail for 22 years and have a pretty good idea of who
belongs here or not.
