That’s such a suspicious thing to write lmao imagine someone writing “human being of the homo sapiens species” on their twitter bio

Yeah you’re right it’s ultimately pointless when you take revolutionary politics into consideration. For example, are the anarchist on our left because they are more extreme or are they on our right because idealism is closer to bourgeois politics? That’s a pointless question.

I just wanted to express the fact that some political factions are just so stupid and far from us that it doesn’t make sense to spend energy criticising them. Criticism is only useful on people who share a certain ideological proximity.

I’d go even further and say that people who entirely focus on rightwing idiots are grifters. I’ve got this feeling everytime I see some entertainer endlessly make fun of how American republicans (or any equivalent for outside of America) are stupid. Because that’s too easy, and, if you’re remotely on the left it’s absolutely obvious that those people are beyond saving. You don’t learn anything by watching mildly lefty clowns attack the ones who are so far on the right that everyone who’s not a fossil fuel lord can get behind.

Only the ones who punch right on their right do actual political effort because they contribute to the pipeline that lead to revolutionary politics.

Hey does anyone know a breakdown of all the “Trump election Russian influence” thing, I read some MSM articles about it and everything seem purposefully confused and lacking any context or analysis

Can’t wait for 2024 just so whoever made this stupid infographic feel ridiculed

How tf are you supposed to coerce someone to become a scientist

Anti-liberals be like “oh yeah this is bs”

Have you heard about Battlebit Remastered? I kinda like it right now. I’ve never played Battlefield but people are saying this is what they wanted Battlefield to be like and its got indie graphics and no cringe campaign filled with propaganda for now. Also 15 bucks and no microtransactions I just had to try

Ah yes, the tankie’s favourite anti-west fascist regime of… uh… uh… hmmmm

Very interesting, I will meditate on your answers

Friend groups are more often than not anarchist. Valve (the makers of steam) is designed as an anarchist company where workers freely start and join projects

Gotta break some myths here because despite Valve making some of my favourite games of all time I can’t let you call them anarchist.

• There is very much a hierarchy between workers since they have a ladder scoring system that gets you fired when you’re underperforming
• They only recruit industry veterans, you can’t enter Valve if you are a beginner, they are not inclusive
• They have a CEO who owns yachts and shit meaning there is still exploitation even if he is a funny dude and not a corporate ghoul

I’d say the most complete answer you can have from one of the biggest names in the people who are being called “tankie” is this video by well-respected youtuber Hakim :

The wierd thing with this argument is that there isn’t even a clear contradiction with the very basis of Mao’s action and theory. Just look at the flag of the PRC : it is a reference to a speech where Mao defines the four classes of Chinese society that converges towards the Party (hence the four stars pointing at one big star). Those four classes are, obviously the proletariat and peasantry, but also the urban bourgeoisie and the national bourgeoisie. Note that there is no ambiguity on what bourgeoisie means here, since there is two dedicated stars to include both the intellectual and cultural elite but also the national-level property owners.

If the national bourgeoisie is represented on the flag of the PRC as a class that is united with the others around the Party then why would they be barred from entering the party like every citizen who’s able to pass the test.

Mao was never about pressing the Communism button and destroying the national bourgeoisie, he was about building the ship that will eventually lead the people to Communism after a long trip where the national bourgeoisie has a role to play.

Imagine associating this amount of dread with such an insignificant privation. Must be hard living like this honestly

Lol hinting that the revolutionary bourgeois cared about the peasantry when all they did was killing them and destroying their regional languages

Not saying they were not counter-revolutionary though, but contrary to MLs the bourgeois had no plan to make their lives better and only viewed them with disdain

Not that I want to rescue him or anything, he remains a deeply bourgeois author, but he wrote Les Miserables when he quit monarchism to adopt liberal republican self-proclaimed “socialist” stance. Saying Les Miserables is royalist propaganda is inaccurate, it’s more of a virtue signaling liberal wank

My pleasure

Market socialism that didn’t secure the revolution after the death of its engineer, country ends in fratricide wars 💯✅

Market socialism that totally outplayed imperialists, maintained revolutionary power for a generation after leader’s death, brings hopes of prosperity to exploited countries 🤬❌

In the US no actually prison is a highly profitable option, prisons are private and just make a killing by making prisoners work for free. If the prison industry continues lobbying and expanding we will end up with homelessness being literally written as crime in law and completely circle back to antique slave society with extra steps

Too bad for the socdem typical “middle class” myth but at least we need to salute the genuineness of actually going on a strike picket instead of LARPing on Twitter
