This has probably been discussed previously, but isn't the management of LibCom quite hypocritical in that it the website is run by a few more or less unaccountable people, when much content,blogs,engagement,news etc. is provided by non admins? Shouldn't there be some system put in place where regular/old posters/contributors can have a say on the functioning of this website? Perhaps through an agreed 'libcom constitution' or an election/ostracism of admins. No offence to the libcom team you guys do a great job!
How do you think it's
How do you think it's "hypocritical"? We're a democratic collective who run our website.
In addition, we ask for user feedback on pretty much every change we make, and try to take user feedback on board to improve the site.
In terms of a system in place for users to have a say on the functioning of the site, we have a feedback and content forum for this very purpose. So I'm also going to move this discussion into the feedback and content forum.
In terms of electing the admins, do you think the people who work for AK Press should be elected?
Yeah good point, this isn't
Yeah good point, this isn't meant to be a participatory cooperative thingy anyway so its not hypocritical.
Thanks. In addition, as Jim
Thanks. In addition, as Jim mentions, people can join the collective to help run the site, and then get an equal say in what we do (like Juan Conatz and Joseph Kay have done)
It is completely
It is completely hypocritical, and they also use it to make thousands of pounds (true fact) every single day. What's more the coding is done by low-paid overseas workers whle they watch cat videos on youtube.
Undated picture of a libcom admin.
There are also rumours that libcom sold Edward Snowden to Vladimir Putin in exchanges for shres in a Crimean holiday complex.
All you need to know about
All you need to know about Libcom admins is that they allow landlords to use the site. Capitalist sympathising scum!

Last time I checked, anyone can create an account on this site. Not very insular if you ask me.

I just had a quick search of the site, so I hope that this is an alright place to ask if libcom lists the current admins and mods?

You can ask but you’ll never find out their real identities. Suffice to say keep your babies away from them at dinner time and don’t be fooled by their apparent human form.
