The Popular Struggle Committee for Salvation of Less Wrong calls for the immediate implementation of the following measures:

1) Suspension of HPMOR posting until the site has been purged. All new users who join during the period of transition will be considered trolls until proven otherwise. Epiphany to be appointed Minister of Acculturation.

2) A comprehensive ban on meta-discussion. Articles and comments in violation of the ban will be flagged as "meta" by the moderators, and replying to them will incur a "meta toll" of -5 karma. A similar "lol toll" shall apply to jokes that aren't funny.

3) All meetups for the next six months to consist of sixty minutes of ideological self-criticism and thirty minutes of weapons training.

I second these motions... with a vengeance. For is it not said:

The revolutionary war is a war of the masses; it can be waged only by mobilizing the masses and relying on them.

and

Liberalism is extremely harmful in a revolutionary collective. It is a corrosive which eats away unity, undermines cohesion, causes apathy and creates dissension. It robs the revolutionary ranks of compact organization and strict discipline, prevents policies from being carried through and alienates the Party organizations from the masses which the Party leads. It is an extremely bad tendency.

and especially:

To criticize the people's shortcomings is necessary, . . . but in doing so we must truly take the stand of the people and speak out of whole-hearted eagerness to protect and educate them.
