Ultraleft

**r/Ultraleft** - is a leftcommunist community on Reddit, dedicated to ironical shitposting. The content on this subreddit is very chaotic and can be confusing to leftists browsing throught it. As such this page serves as a 100% unironic clarification to those leftists. Majority of the userbase including the mods is sympathetic to or belives in ideas of the Italian Communist Left (there are also other strands of the Communist Left such as the Dutch-German one but they have been mostly sidelined on this subreddit), that is a strand of Marxism developed by revolutionaries such as Amadeo Bordiga or Onorato Damen. It is supportive of the October Revolution but calls out the developments in the Soviet Union after the death of Lenin as bourgeois and counterrevolutionary. They state that Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc countries were capitalist, because capital, value form and wage labor still existed in those countries. However this is not their primary concern with those countries as they also call Lenin's Russia capitalist but they still support it. Instead they see the cause of counterrevolution in the failure of proletarian revolutions in the west, and degeneration of communist parties by stalinism and other brands of what they call opportunism. As such they do not see themselves as "part of the left" but instead they declare themselves to be something beyond that - communists, while they call leftists "the left of capital" (and to be honest they are right). If you have questions and want unironic answers use r/Leftcommunism instead. For other subreddits see: Alternatives to Ultraleft

## History of r/Ultraleft

r/Ultraleft was first opened in 2014. In 2018 it was raided by bernie bros and closed. It was reopened in 2020. With time it's owner lost interest of moderating the community and gave mod permisions to Account Deleter. He was however removed from his position because he abused his power and banned a user for disagreeing with him. He then started creating alt accounts and spammed the server with porn multiple times. Next person to moderate the subreddit after him was Lil\_Nazbol. At first his career as a mod was promising, but due to scandals such as the Polish Poetry Affair and later Smigly's Secret Speech he was ousted from position and exiled. His removal in May 2023 started a brief period of Smigly's rule as mod, but he was too egdy and soon was removed too, ending the period of Polish Occupation of r/Ultraleft. Currently it is run by the Gang of Four Moderators with vrmvrmfffffstststs as it's head.

## Discord of r/Ultraleft

A semi-official server of r/Ultraleft was created on a platform of Discord by Lil\_Nazbol and Smigly. Initially Smigly was it's owner but he transfered ownership to Lil\_Nazbol (Smigly later said he was drunk when doing this). The exact number of members isn't known but it could have been above 50. It quickly became swarmed with edgy content and lack of moderation there caused r/ultraleft users to complain on the subreddit about the messages being send there. At some point Smigly translated a part of a polish poem that included a rape scene of a 14 year old girl and together with Lil\_Nazbol they started to spam it over the channels. In the aftermath Lil\_Nazbol tried to improve the server and crackdown on racism and homophobia, but his reforms didn't achieved wanted results as now only the most edgy users stayed active on the server. Smigly some time later nuked the server, by removing all channels. The damage was repaired but the server's activity was already on the downwards trajectory with only a handful of users staying active. The server was closed in 2023. After Smigly was removed as a mod he tried to make an unofficial second edition of the server, named s/Ultraleft (bordigist-hitlerist). As expected from the name the server quickly became very edgy with nazi symbolism and racial slurs being everywhere. The subreddit was successfully infiltrated by Lil\_Nazbol's alt account named Mossad Agent during the Operation Samson Option. Using a disagreement between Smigly and Squadra (the co-owners of the server) he managed to get himself an admin role. Before that he had reported Smigly's messages containing death threats and fantasies about murdering Lil\_Nazbol. Smigly's account was banned by Discord Administration and then Lil\_Nazbol revealed his true identity to the server. Squadra then fully nuked the server (as their roles were equal he wasn't able to ban him). Currently the mods don't have any plans to make a new discord server.
