Admin: splitting this from the Macho posting on libcom and SolFed thread.
well no, personally i think that i think its fair to say though that in rejecting some atttitudes seen as at the time prevalent in lifestylism or the more liberal end of anarchism, the forums as a whole on libcom unfortunately ended up getting rid of some good stuff along with the bad.
Third time you've asserted this. Third time you haven't backed it up.
Can you describe these supposed "good stuff" from lifestylism that we've apparently rejected?
Well a bit of lack of engagement with prison support stuff (not good in the wake of the riots) and a poor approach to gender politics or womens caucuses/groups would be two good examples. Or the extent to which some people don't make much attempt to engage with some issues ''outside' the workplace, even when said issues often intersect with workplace struggle.
To me its more of an overall attitude problem, various activities/issues are seen as somehow ''tainted'' by activisty subculture, so rather than engaging with said activities properly, some people on here just opt for starting from the point of condemnation or ignoring the issues altogther and pretending thy're not a problem.
This whole thing is made worse by the unwillingness of a few people on here to admit when they got a few things wrong in the past.
