They call for the execution of landlords and say “Death to NATO.”

I am an anti-capitalist leftist btw.

    I was reading some theory yesterday (Obama if you’re interested) and there was a really interesting point they made where they said “when they go low, we go high”. Really resonated with me. Something to think about.

    I’m way far left of liberal btw.

    I’m as leftist as they come, but anything that goes against fedposting in any way is clearly CCP and/or Kremlin propaganda.

    Those hexbears really take it too far, wasn’t it Marx who said

    We have no issue with imperialism and we ask no issue with imperialism from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make late rent payments.

      The other day I was looking up what Lenin said about Revolutionary Defeatism and it’s like reading it there’s no way he wouldn’t have spammed PPB at people lol

      snippets

      This is an instance of high-flown phraseology with which Trotsky always justifies opportunism.

      The phrase-bandying Trotsky has completely lost his bearings on a simple issue.

      (Bukvoyed and Semkovsky give more direct expression to the “thought”, or rather want of thought, which they share with Trotsky.)

      Had Bukvoyed and Trotsky done a little thinking, they would have realised that they have adopted the viewpoint on the war held by governments and the bourgeoisie, i.e., that they cringe to the “political methodology of social-patriotism”, to use Trotsky’s pretentious language

      Many of them will reply that it is impossible, as Kautsky has done, thereby fully proving his social-chauvinism.

      Lenin was a poster.

        the funniest thing about reading Lenin is the sense that you’re reading forum drama from a hundred years ago and that he never stops dunking. hence my thesis that theory is the highest form of dunk.

          If Twitter had existed in 1905 there would have been not leftist revolutions in the 20th century because no one on the left would ever have logged off.

          Theory: When you do years of research, countless revisions, peer review, and finally publish 500 pages of dense academic work to prove OP is wrong.

  • Is this irony or…?

    Death to NATO refers to the dissolution of NATO itself, it is not a call to actually kill anyone.

    In reference to landlords, I mean personally I’m with you on that, but the alternative is reeducation, which the right will ultimately view and espouse as prison. You cannot be anticapitalist and pro-landlord, the ideas oppose each other at their cores.

    I hope all the instances get defedpostingerated.

    edit: I’m being informed that this is not what “defederate” means
