Drunk me is not a tactful man
Back when i drank, one of the managers pulled me aside one day and said I was scaring off other people when I'd get drunk and rail against America.
this is one of the reasons I don't wanna drink. I'd be screaming the full works of Lenin at people
I'm a better person for stopping, now I just quote Mao at inappropriate times.
To let things slide for the sake of peace and friendship when a person has clearly gone wrong, and refrain from principled argument because he is an old acquaintance, a fellow townsman, a schoolmate, a close friend, a loved one, an old colleague or old subordinate. Or to touch on the matter lightly instead of going into it thoroughly, so as to keep on good terms. The result is that both the organization and the individual are harmed. This is one type of liberalism.
Yeah Mao is correct, but maybe my grandpas eulogy wasn't the best time to read from the little red book
lol when my anticommunist ameriboo dad dies i am definitely gonna quote stalin in the funeral.
Make it something apocryphal, like "one death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic."
lol i was planning on quoting the stalin quote about the winds of history cleaning his grave and ending it with "thats not going to happen here".
Omg didn't even realize it was you that said it when I replied - knowing it was you makes it extra funny. You really are one of the best posters, everything you say is either hilarious or pertinent or both ❤️
This is referring to how to deal with other people within the Party. It's another point, the "To be among the masses" one, that addresses how to deal with non-communists in broader society.
But I will also point out that the project of agitating among the masses does not manifest in constantly being a bickering asshole. One should constantly seek to further socialism among people, but the correct way to do so varies by circumstance, and Mao would be the first person to tell you that to barge in to some space and make declarations rather than investigate -- i.e. ask genuine, non-rhetorical questions -- is idealist hubris.

it makes it a lot harder in fact
I was trying to be funny. like "anything less than getting stabbed with a broken beer bottle for quoting Mao is liberalism"
Pretty sure this was to party members when they're talking to other party member in party capacity
Not when you're hanging out in your free time
I deeply disagree with the use here on both theoretical and exegetical grounds (see my reply to him), but it's Combat Liberalism
A bar near me has a confederate flag prominently displayed on one wall and I'm dreading the day my coworkers wanna take me there. I feel like I'd do a lot more than just say the wrong thing
Do you want to say that to my face? I was first in my class at the Kurgan State Metallurgical Institute. I designed an alloy that has been used in munitions that have killed fascists across the globe. Do you see that Lada over there? The one with the rear end almost dragging on the ground? That's because the trunk is loaded with the various AKs I used while fighting the Taliban in the 1980s, personally field testing new shell casings. You probably thought you were just making a little joke. Well, that's fine. The revolutionary moment has passed, for now. Can I get like 10 bucks? I need gas to get to Ramallah.Edit: Replied to the wrong comment twice. Anyway, don't call the wrong person an imperialist ghoul when you're at the bar.
Yeah, absolutely. One of them has a "Heritage, not Hate" bumper sticker. They're all mostly suburban white redneck types. They wouldn't just defend displaying the flag, they'd make it mandatory if they could.
how bad is it going to disrupt your life to tell them what you really think?
Doesn't even take me alcohol, I've (regrettably) talked mad shit about America, call people brainwashed, and talked about Stalin + Mao like they were just normal leaders (not even anything positive) to wealthy tech bros completely sober
Thankfully I don't do that shit anymore
"Israel has a right to defend itself"? You better exercise that right, buddy throws punch
why do i have to write all the emojis backwards now?
EDIT: the answer is that i don't. arabic writing causes the emojis to go backwards. neat
Of course, Arabic is written and thus pronounced from right to left...
I've had a knife pulled on me twice for it, got kicked out of a couple places too lol
aw shucks, you're making my night!
nobody gets my joke
