For reference, the discussion he's talking about took place one week after inauguration.
Yeah, if Biden successfully abolishes class society and ends the exploitation of labor by capital, that would be a pretty thorough refutation of revolutionary communism. Can't wait for him to get started on that.
ohhh noo, my whole worldview will toootally ve shattered if you destroy the military industrial complex and end the imperialisms! whatever will i tout as my one true leftist ideology if you abolish the police, ice, the prison industry, etc etc and even force everyone to stop eating meat !?
:horror: it would be sooo awful doont do thaaat
Modern Tankies are basically kulaks simping for people who would gladly put them up against the wall at the first oppertunity.
So many brainworms in that thread, do not recommend.
Stalin wanted to kill every American. "Americans are burger kulaks, they're hoarding all the burgers" he said in an address to the communist party in 1953.
Yeah... I'm super afraid that Biden's handlers is going to solve s lot of problems and make a lot of people's lives better. I'm losing sleep over it God damn it!
My worldview would be totally annihilated if Biden's handlers pass milquetoast succdem stuff like 15$ minimum wage, and one-time 2000$ stimulus cheques. It would show that the institutions of the bourgeois state work and totally validate imperialism.
I strongly suspect for a lot of people that it would validate imperialism though. You'll go back to brunch while the GS feeds your healthcare.
"institutions work when those involved are operating in good faith"
GOOD FAITH NEOLIBERALISM
This is a part where I really can't decipher how this is supposed to be good. Like, is vulnerability to bad faith participants (both in terms of infiltration by and ability to do damage when in position) not indicative of some sort of flaws? One would think that a good system would stop bad faith participants from getting into power, or from effectively using it once they are in power.
I remember some point in the past where I saw an upvoted comment there where a socialist was lamenting how frustrating gamers are, since they are so close to class consciousness and should be prime radicalization material when it comes to exploitation of developers and how companies are nickel and diming to keep profits up, but they are just completely opposed to making the final step. I don't know what happened between then and now, but it used to be okay in some respects.
It used to be better, but then I got banned for defending Nazi on Nazi violence
And when Trump wins reelection in 2024, they're going to be caught flat-footed again and be like "BUT BIDEN BEAT HIM"
It's gonna come as even more of a surprise to them than 2016. "But but Biden got so much done!"
New horseshoe theory just dropped: Every politics I dislike is the same, and also gay
All Biden really did was prolong the evangelical psychopath that will eventually become president
If Biden succeeds, then it proves their glorious revolution was never necessary
Completely ignoring imperialism. Even if Biden built a massive welfare state in the US (which he isn't), the "tankies" would still be right
