    Folks, the bourgeois, they're no good. Everyone is saying it. All these workers— very handsome workers, we have the biggest, the best workers— they come up to me and say Comrade Trump there is a specter haunting Europe, and you know what? They're right. These bourgeois are very nasty people— very very rude, and very unfair to the workers. They are stealing our surplus value, and no one is doing anything about it! The proletariat comes up to me every day and says, Comrade Trump will you lead the revolution? And I gotta turn to them and say, look, the instruments of capitalism will be used to bring about its destruction— believe me. The means of production, Obama never wanted to seize them. Well guess what? I'm seizing them. Landlords? They're done for, folks. Everyone told me, they said Comrade Trump you won't be the vanguard of the revolution— and they would laugh, the media laughed, the democrats laughed. Guess who's laughing now?

        Trump comedy and mannerisms but backed by Marxism-Leninism is something I could get on board with.

      This is very well done Trump-speak and strangely didn't make me cringe. I guess the policies are more important than the way they are communicated

        Folks, what we did in 1917–the Revolution we call it, with a capital R— it's never been done before. So many big beautiful red flags, you couldn't even— now that, folks, that's a flag we stand up for, we don't kneel for our terrific red flag— that you couldn't even see the Winter Palace. You know the Mensheviks, and Renegade Kautsky, they said we couldn't do it! They said, "Oh, Vlad, the material conditions are bad, we have to have a bourgeois republic to develop the forces of production." You know what that means, right? Semi-feudal economy! Well, look at where we are now, Julius. We are going to develop the forces of production so fast it'll make your head spin. We are going to do in a generation what it took them many, many years to do.

        We're bringing back bread, folks! And not just bread, but peace too— and you know, the Left-SRs, they're very nasty to me about Brest-Litovsk, they say I make bad deals with the Germans, even though, nobody does treaties better than me, and the Germans are tough, but when they deal with me they know my reputation, they know I make the best deals, and you know, many people in Germany, they say they want Lenin too! Little pickelhaub man is scared, because he knows that we have built an incredible movement, and we are gonna have world revolution, the biggest revolution anyone has ever had. But, still, you know, the fake bourgeois media, the white guards, they say "He colluded with the Germans, he got on the train, did this did that"— and they're just crazed. They are really crazed. Right. And we can't just let that happen, because there's nothing to do with Germany, nothing at all. Total witch hunt. Very unfair.

      Proof that it doesn't matter how many times you denounce Communism, they'll call you a dirty commie anyway.

        Anticommunist 'leftists' never learn

        To a lot of liberals, it doesn't matter if you're an inch to the left of the 'acceptable discourse' or 2 million miles, you'll always be a tankie to them anyway

      Chomsky's been pretty fucking cool recently what with working closely with Vijay Prashad on a tonne of stuff. They've basically decided he's as bad as all MLs now, especially because he does work with one.

        I like how they don’t denounce him because he’s a possible sex pest but because he doesn’t like the state department skmetimes

    They're saying "tankies and right-wing grifters such as..." Donald Trump being the latter. They are calling Chomsky a "tankie" thought which is funny.

    what if putin unleashes cthulhu upon ukraine? would you guys condemn that?

      Yes, because he should do it in USA. Though many people would probably not notice, the well known Ctulhu election slogan "vote for the greater evil" means he is already giving his support to reps and dems.

      Yeay! 🎶

    There's something really interesting happening in their brain here!

    They assume they'd get to react. They assume that they are some kind of ghostly observer that exists outside of the world and can just frictionlessly react to events as they happen, because that's been their entire life and how they've always engaged with politics.

    In reality, if one nuke goes off they all do. That's what M.A.D. is all about. Asking "how would they react?" is detached from reality.

    Positively turgid over the thought of a nuclear strike so they could make a bunch of smuglord reddit posts about how they knew Putler was just as evil as they'd claimed all along.

      Ironically, a nuclear conflict would create an EMP that would most likely take the internet offline globally, and probably permanently. The redditors would be the real victims, never getting to brag about how they were right about evil Putler being pure evil for not just letting the US nuke his country.

      They are so detached from reality, and i don't even mean their shit attempt at analysis but as literal detachement where they want for the nuclear armageddon to have a point on minor issue, they might already live in a VR.

    tankies

    Ian Miles Chong

    Total failure to understand what makes someone a communist, or cynical attempt to smear communists by associating them with bigots and white supremacists?

      I'm just gonna assume for my own sanity that "tankies and grifters" means one or the other, and Cheong is definitely a grifter.

    This is like those evangelical Christians fantasizing about the rapture happening and finally proving everyone wrong.

    react to Putin becoming the next death, destroyer of worlds

    Note, the former and only so far death, destroyer of world was a European scientist funded by US tax dollars

      And the world still actually exist and quite many people are still alive. The US finance, oil, car and military sectors on the other hand, are doing everything they can.

    The biggest example of capitalist nepotism and corruption is a communist? A man that, if we lived in a true meritocracy, would be a complete nobody? A man who owns one of the most famous private capitalist business empires of the 80s?

    Libs stop blaming the failures of capitalism on communism challenge (impossible)

    Why would Putler use a nuke? Because he's winning?
