>>394588In my view, the turning point was when old BO melted down, accidently creating /leftpol/ via dissidents, which was dominated by anarchists and left-coms, /dead/ post-leftists, etc. - and then we watched it basically becoming a shithole dominated by /pol/ false flaggers and infiltrators with the admin just going MIA (_space, who also managed to run bunkerchan into the ground). In the real world, at the same time, Rojava suddenly started to accept US occupation of oilfields and the extraction of the latter. Combine that with the extensive book-scanning activities of Ismail exposing many people to the Soviet viewpoint in the 20th century. On reddit, r/leftcommunism collapsed, and their most prominent left-com from that milieu, Eden Sauvage, who curated a "left-com master reading list", got humiliated in a thread, causing him to become mentally ill, and launching a pro-MLM blog before disappearing for good.
This caused in culmination anarchists, Bookchin enthusiasts and left-coms to be increasingly discredited, at least that was the lore the way I followed it as a terminally online autist.
