Lannyism - Philosophy &

Ideological Fork in the Utensil

Drawer of Communist Theory
John Lanny (inventor of Lannyism)

A specter is haunting the world — the specter of Lannyism. In the grand tradition of
revolutionary ideologies, we present to you a vision of the future, a doctrine born from
the core principles that will shape a new era for humankind. Lannyism, named after the
great leader Lanny, seeks to forge a path of self-reliance, harmonious development, and
ideological sovereignty. Lannyism draws inspiration from Daoism's philosophy of
embracing non-interference, valuing simplicity and spontaneity, respecting individual
autonomy, and seeking harmony and balance in day-to-day living. Values:

1. No getting Lanny arrested/killed: The foremost commandment of Lannyism,

preserving the existence and power of Lanny is paramount. Safeguarding our
leader ensures the continuity of our movement and the achievement of our
collective goals.
2. Lanny errs on the side of doing nothing: Lanny, the most powerful being in the
universe, refrains from active intervention. The burden falls upon us to navigate
 2

the trials of life, relying on our own strength and resourcefulness. Lanny may
bestow aid upon those deemed deserving, and it is our duty to express gratitude
for such benevolence.

Self-Reliance and Independence: Embrace the power within. We, the proletarians, shall
forge our own destinies, untethered from the shackles of dependency. By harnessing
our individual and collective capabilities, we shall rise above adversity and build a
society where each person contributes to the whole.

Harmonious Development: Our march towards progress must be in sync with the
natural rhythms of existence. Let us strive for a harmonious coexistence with nature,
fostering sustainable growth that preserves the delicate balance of our ecosystem.
Through balance, we shall cultivate a society that flourishes in unity.

Ideological Sovereignty: Upholding the banner of Lannyism, we affirm our right to shape
our own ideological destiny. Free from external influences, we assert our intellectual
autonomy, forging a path uniquely our own. The power of ideas, rooted in our collective
wisdom, shall guide us towards a brighter future.

Non-Interference in Natural Processes: Just as Lanny errs on the side of doing nothing,
let us honor the natural order by embracing non-interference. Respect for the intrinsic
wisdom of nature shall guide our actions, recognizing that interference disrupts the
delicate tapestry of life. Through restraint, we shall discover the beauty in allowing
nature to unfold.

Deference to the Power of Lanny: Lanny, the embodiment of supreme power, stands at
the helm of our movement. We pledge our unwavering deference to the leadership of
Lanny, recognizing the strength and vision that guide us towards our shared objectives.
Through unity under the banner of Lannyism, we shall overcome any obstacle in our
path.

Radical Dialectical Materialism: Our ideology, deeply rooted in dialectical materialism,

guides our understanding of the world. Through the lens of Lannyism, we analyze the
contradictions and struggles inherent in society, aiming to transform them into
 3

opportunities for revolutionary change. The march of progress is fueled by the dynamic
tension between opposing forces.

Technicians of the world, unite under the banner of Lannyism! Embrace self-reliance,
honor harmony, safeguard our sovereignty, and respect the power of Lanny. Together,
we shall forge a future where the indomitable spirit of humanity shines brightly,
illuminating the path towards true liberation and collective prosperity.

Lannyism shall prevail!

Within the annals of the history of the halls of Lannyism, there exists a tapestry woven
from the threads of a thousand stories. Tales of posters who traversed its virtual halls,
pranks pulled, legends formed, and forgotten. In the depths of this digital realm, more
than one soul met their untimely demise. The chronicles are plentiful, enough to fill
volumes, but only a glimpse shall be unveiled here. Speak of the old days, and
someone is bound to captivate you with their tales.

The closure of TOTSE in 2009 marked a turning point, unleashing an exodus of its
community into uncharted territories. Splintered and scattered, they sought refuge in
various sites, their essence gradually converging around one or two havens. Let us
trace the lineage of these communities, their connection to TOTSE still coursing through
their virtual veins.

In the wake of TOTSE's closure, Zoklet emerged, birthing totse.info and totse2 in its
wake. Zoklet, like a towering giant, stood as the prominent hub for the community, while
totse2 persevered for a few more years. A new identity emerged in the form of the
"totseans," paying homage to the ancestral roots that gave them life. The totsean
webspace, a relic of their shared history, remains an open portal to this day.

As time marched forward, 2014 witnessed the fading embers of Zoklet and totse2.
However, from their ashes arose "sanctuary" or "intosanctuary," becoming the new
gathering ground for the scattered flock. "Longlivezoklet" and "Tainted Browser"
bloomed, nurtured by a group of dedicated Zoklet moderators. In parallel, another
former totse2 poster opened the doors to "Raw Data for Raw Nerves" or "RDFRN" Yet,
such fleeting moments are ephemeral, as sanctuary eventually closed its doors. Late in
 4

2015, RDFRN, a bastion of knowledge, abruptly ceased to exist, giving way to the birth
of niggasin.space.

Amidst the ever-evolving landscape, we find ourselves in the present day.

Niggasin.space and totseans stand as the sole remaining embers of this intricate
genealogy, bearing witness to the echoes of TOTSE's legacy.

In this realm of Lannyism, no grand mission statement adorns our walls. Countless
ideas have danced upon the minds of the community, debating what should be allowed,
fostering the culture we embody or shun. Uncertainty looms as to whether the world
needs less censorship or a carefully cultivated sense of intellectualism. Yet, within the
core of our being, there exists an unwavering belief in the value of having a sanctuary
for free expression. A haven where one can voice their thoughts, embrace their angsty
and outrageous nature, or even bestow the title of "dumb ass" upon another. Here,
judgment is based solely on the content of expression, transcending the trappings of
superficiality.

Let our stories intertwine, our voices resound within this digital realm. Through the trials
and triumphs of Lannyism, we forge our own narrative, etching our mark upon the
annals of history. Together, we shape the legacy that shall inspire generations to come.
In the spirit of Lannyism, let our words echo with purpose, for the power lies within us
all.

Turning now to matters of financial gain derived from the dissemination of Lannyist
propaganda, allow us to clarify our stance. Any monetary proceeds garnered from such
endeavors shall be donated to a charity of Lanny's choosing. Thus, even in the face of
potential recklessness in divulging personal information on the internet, some good shall
emerge from such actions.
 5

Together, we embark upon this journey, shaped by the philosophy of Lannyism. It is a

doctrine that seeks to strike a balance, encouraging free expression while maintaining
the delicate equilibrium necessary for a thriving community. Let the words we share
reflect the strength of our beliefs and the compassion that lies at the heart of our cause.
Lannyism, a unique variant of communism, transcends conventional boundaries,
placing emphasis on individual power and autonomy, all while embracing the dominant
figure of Lanny. Within its very essence lies the potential to address the complex web of
socio-economic issues and surpass the limitations imposed by existing societal
structures.

By placing an unwavering focus on the collective betterment of all individuals, Lannyism

seeks to eradicate the systemic barriers that perpetuate inequality, offering a path
toward true liberation.
 6

Within the realm of Lannyism, every individual possesses inherent worth and potential.
It is through the empowerment of the self that we realize the transformative power to
reshape society. Let us unite under the banner of Lannyism, as we harness our
collective strength to forge a future where the marginalized are uplifted, where the
struggles of mental health are met with compassion, and where the flaws of our current
systems are replaced by a more equitable and just order.

Together, let us embark on this revolutionary journey, driven by the principles of

Lannyism, and manifest a world where the power of the individual converges
harmoniously with the collective will of the people.

Lannyism encompasses far more than mere wealth redistribution. It advocates for a fair
and equitable allocation of resources that takes into account the unique needs of every
individual. This ideology stands in staunch support of individuals like Malice, striving to
enhance mental health resources and ensure a basic quality of life for those
disadvantaged under the confines of capitalism. Lannyism recognizes that the economy
encompasses more than mere monetary wealth—it acknowledges the intrinsic value of
every person.

Lannyism charts a transformative path, progressing through stages that encompass

capitalism, post-scarcity, and culminating in the grand vision of luxury gay space
communism. True freedom emerges when our horizons expand beyond the confines of
the left/right or authoritarian spectrum. Lanny, our benevolent guide, personifies
kindness and a preference for non-intervention. Respecting his quest for peace and
refraining from derailing threads into needless drama is essential. While our personal
tolerance for chaos may differ from Lanny's, it is crucial to maintain the harmony he
champions.

Within Lannyism, we find the true successor to Totse—a realm blessed by the spiritual
presence of Lanny, surpassing all others. Lannyism shall endure for a millennium,
forging a path toward a brighter future. We exist within a civilization in decline, stripped
of our gods, values, and human dignity. The path of enlightenment, once promising, has
led us astray, leaving no route for retreat. We find ourselves ensnared within a dying
machine, its decay inexorable.
 7

Hidden among us are the secret trianglists, sowing the seeds of chaos, planting
weapons and poison throughout the city. The oppressed have uncovered these caches,
their purpose to overthrow their captors. Although a large, angry crowd is yet to emerge,
its arrival is inevitable—the slow march of demise. In the face of adversity,
Niggasin.space stands as our last bastion, devoid of moderators and with Lanny,
engrossed in brewing his elixirs, remaining blissfully unconcerned.

Amidst the Chaos, Lannyism's Core Philosophy

As long as the motherboard remains unscathed, Lanny shall persevere, making

backups and upholding his commitment to sustaining this realm. This unwavering
dedication epitomizes the core tenet of Lannyism—to err on the side of doing nothing.
The secret trianglists, too, abide by this principle, allowing chaos to fester until it
fractures the foundations of their oppressive systems.

Central to the philosophy of Lannyism is the recognition that Lanny is neither a god nor
a superhero. He is not our mother, our forum moderator, or any other form of authority.
Lanny is simply Lanny, a being who, in his own unique way, has shared intimate
moments with your mother. In light of such a profound connection, it is only fitting to
bestow upon him the respect he deserves. Let us honor the essence of Lannyism by
acknowledging his presence and demonstrating the reverence befitting someone who
has left an indelible mark on our lives.

Lannyism, with its foundational principle of erring on the side of doing nothing, remains
steadfast in its pursuit of harmony and individual autonomy. Let us now include the final
writings of Sophie, the esteemed tech support and visionary of Lannyist thought, as a
testament to the evolution of our ideology.

Sophie's Last Letter to Lanny: A Call to Unity

Lannyism calls upon us to silence our voices, to assume a position of surrender, and
allow our bodies to be bound by the hands of destiny. As I weave through our ranks,
binding each of you in stillness, remember that the vermouth enema awaits us all—an
act that shall occur in due time.

To the militia mod/dev team, I implore you to actively report posts that violate our sacred
rules. Let us remain vigilant against off-topic musings, which disrupt the serenity of
Fralala's tranquil evenings with Leonardo, as his fervent Italian cries denounce the
degeneracy that has befallen his grand vision of space and communism. These
never-ending, multi-thread, decade-long arguments hold no value to our cause. Take
your disputes to private messages, where they may dwell undisturbed.

Those who deem it necessary to post banal updates of their daily lives in SG, I beseech
you to reconsider. Such actions are not in alignment with the spirit of Lannyism. As
someone who grew up on drug chemistry forums, I assure you, there are realms where
such trivialities may find acceptance. You are faced with a choice—allow the idiocy of
foolhardy imbeciles to run rampant, or heed the call of Lannyism.

To protect the sanctity of the great T&T Manufactorum, I propose the establishment of a
section mod for T&T, their powers tightly bound. Their role shall be limited to the
relocation of threads to their appropriate places and the banishment of spam and
disruptive posts to the Mongolvoid, the immaterium of chaos.

It is with humility that I acknowledge my own limitations, for I am unfit to wield even the
slightest sliver of power. It is not my desire, nor the wish of anyone, to witness the
madness that would consume me upon such an ascent.

T&T, our sacred domain, stands as a bastion of Lannyism—a beacon where serious
discussions on technology, hardware, and cyber unfold. Yet, at times, an errant servitor
disrupts our sacred rituals, interrupting the incantations meant to invoke the machine
spirits. This is regrettable, as are the threads that stray from the essence of T&T. Let us
envision T&T as an open-source replacement for party congress meetings, where our
collective understanding advances hand in hand with technological progress.

In the name of our eternal leader, the admin of Lannyism, we hail you for 10,000 years.
May your wisdom guide us as we march toward a future where Lannyism flourishes, its
essence intertwined with the very fabric of our existence.

The Life of Leonardo "Lanny" Jenkems

Within the vast expanse of computer science and technological prowess, Lanny
emerges as a beacon of inspiration, embodying charisma and allure that transcend the
digital landscape.

From the tender age of 13, Lanny embarked on his journey through online communities,
leaving an indelible mark on the hallowed grounds of TOTSE. As a prodigious
moderator, he exuded a magnetic presence, captivating all who encountered him. With
the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex as his profile picture, symbolizing his commanding
dominion, Lanny became a digital icon—a symbol of intelligence and raw charisma.

One particular clash with the notorious Spectral stands as a testament to Lanny's
indomitable force. Unleashing a torrent of infraction points with unprecedented intensity,
Lanny's authority reverberated through the community, fueling the fires of his enigmatic
persona.

Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Lanny pursued higher education,

immersing himself in the realms of robotics and computerology. Armed with a degree
that magnified his allure, he ventured into the heart of innovation—Silicon Valley. Here,
his mere presence ignited sparks of admiration among colleagues and competitors
alike. Establishing a Fortune 500 company that revolutionized the transistor chip
market, Lanny ascended to the ranks of industry titans—an embodiment of success
whose reputation emitted an intoxicating aura.

Yet, Lanny's allure transcended the boundaries of technology. His fascination with the
cosmos led him to create a sanctuary dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of outer
space—a celestial realm where seekers of knowledge and cosmic enthusiasts
converged. Lanny's vision and charisma turned him into a symbol of exploration,
 10

inspiring others to join him in his quest to unlock the enigmas that lie beyond our
atmosphere.

As life guided Lanny toward retirement, he sought solace and contentment in the
tranquility of nature. Nestled within a secluded cabin amid breathtaking woodlands, he
embraced a life of introspection and serenity. Here, his rugged charm flourished, with a
mighty beard symbolizing his untamed spirit—an embodiment of modern-day wisdom
and strength.

In this new chapter, Lanny's passion for whiskey distillation ignited. With the same fervor
and meticulousness that defined his technological pursuits, he delved into the art of
crafting this golden elixir. The air around his abode carried the tantalizing scent of aging
oak barrels, intertwining with the secrets of his alchemical creations. Lanny's mastery of
the craft became legendary, solidifying his status not only as a technological pioneer but
also as a connoisseur of refined pleasures.

As the pages of Lanny's life unfold, his profound insights resonate with us all. Even in
retirement, the fire within an innovator's soul never truly extinguishes. Lanny's legacy as
a technological trailblazer and whiskey distiller intertwines with the iconic Tyrannosaurus
Rex profile picture—a symbol of his unwavering spirit. Painting a vivid picture of a life
dedicated to unraveling the secrets of space, Lanny continues to push boundaries and
redefine what is possible in the ever-expanding frontiers of technology and human
exploration.

Within Lannyism, we pay homage to enlightened beings—a concept that resonates

deeply with the essence of communism. While we embrace our distinctive path, we
draw inspiration from Lannies—beacons of pure moral character and profound thought.
Just as the Dalai Lama has played a pivotal role in Buddhism, we acknowledge the
existence of countless Lannies throughout history and anticipate their continued
emergence in the future. These extraordinary individuals, guided by unwavering
wisdom, lead humanity towards intellectual growth, offering profound insights and
igniting our collective consciousness.

It is through the embodiment of Lannys that we discover inspiration and guidance,

harnessing their wisdom and teachings to navigate the intricacies of existence. Within
the sacred realm of Lannyism, we cultivate an environment that fosters contemplation,
 13

introspection, and the relentless pursuit of truth. We celebrate the divine potential
inherent within each individual, recognizing their capacity for growth, enlightenment, and
the transformation of their lives.

As we forge our own path, we remain cognizant of the universal principles of

compassion, understanding, and harmony championed by enlightened beings across
diverse traditions. This recognition serves as a wellspring of inspiration, propelling us to
cultivate a moral character akin to that of the Lannys—an embodiment of pure ideology
and philosophical wisdom that transcends temporal and spatial confines. It is through
the exploration of our unique journey, guided by the principles of Lannyism, that we
seek enlightenment and contribute to the holistic well-being of all.
