Is DailyKos a communist site?

[Person Man]

I mean, I guess they are communists, but not кoммциіѕтs.

[Colin]

кoммциіѕтs.

God damn it I can't take your continued butchering of the cyrillic alphabet. Transliterated that would be kommtsiits, with the second i being Ukrainian cyrillic. It's коммунист.

I know this is from Uncyclopedia, always good for a stupid laugh, but I felt like being pedantic today.

Of course. Very Good.

Question 1 : Don't Care

Question 2 : DailyKossack is a left wing smear machine which operates in slander, hate, conspiracy theory and speculation. It's obvious Marxist leanings need absolutely no explanation from me as they are self-explanatory.

Of course it is (except when it's being used to plant Republican stories).

Eh, it could be pre-reform Russian.

Better question: Are BRTD and Sbane completely out of touch and out of their minds?  A: Yes

Are you dense? Daily kos is communist? Proof?

Hello?  Have you ever visited the site, given your asisinine view of the world my answer would be yes, but view would also believe you to believe that DailyKos is a not a piece of filth

Ok here is the thing. Dailykos is not literally communist. You are using it as a smear right? Or are you that clueless. Btw I don't really read dailykos that much and I don't have much of an opinon. I do know that they aren't communist though.

Its a halfway cross, I'm sure not everyone that accessed the site are "communists" by the textbook definition, but most users are at least revolutionary socialists a la RATM

lol RATM hates the Democrats, and thinks all presidents should be hanged for war crimes. You really think that most users believe that?

I believe they share a similar ideology

The banner art of the DailyKos features a guy in a 1920s style clothes waving a flag (can't call it the American flag) in a style than can only be called Socialist Realism.

Is DailyKos Communist? In the Marxist-Leninist tradition, no, because it is too undisciplined. It is absolutely anti-bourgeois (in the Marxist meaning), pacifist (except against the bourgeoisie),
and elitist, as Leftists must be to lead the ignorant self-deluded masses in the swing states to start voting their real interests.

This is nonsense. Are their nutty people on the site? Absolutely it is a community site. But I would argue that a majority of the readership and community is upper middle class, center-left democratic. It is far more moderate than Redstate or most other Conservative websites. I challenge anyone to read Redstate and the comments there.

 Most people are real individuals with unique views, are generally willing to engage in discussion(i have debated people on Roe and on Gay marriage there without being banned or troll rated) and generally middle class. Do they have a somewhat intolerant view to Democrats who don't agree with them? Yes, but I had a diary defending John Barrow and Melissa Bean and got more comments in agreement than disagreement.

Fundamentally it is not a left-wing site but a partisan democratic site. The community spans the line from anarchists to conservative blue dog democrats, the only point of agreement being that Democrats have to defeat Republicans. It is not even that pro-Democratic, just militantly anti-Republican. This gets confused for ideology when it really isn't.

The people calling it extreme or communist have either never read the site or only read troll diaries posted by conservatives and then linked to by conservative sites.

[??????????]

The word I would use for Dailykos is reasonable.

**dies laughing**

[Person Man]

However, we can all agree that the DailyKos is not a terrorist website, unlike DailyKos's counterparts that are as far right as DailyKos is left. These sites include FreeRepublic, LittleGreenFootballs and Stromfront(pun intended).

When did I call Kos Communist? Can you read? I stated explicitly that it was not.

In fact, your whole spiel nicely reinforces my evaluation of it:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Which is why it isn't Communist. Too emotive and ideologically discursive.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

And I said that it was pacifist, except against Republicans.

And since when does being middle class, with unique views, exclude one from being a leftist?

I guess it isn't communist, then. Right? That's what this thread is about. If you want to complain about them, there is another thread specifically made for that.
