I remember you going all up my last thread tryna poo-poo the last article I posted here to foster some discussion. This combined with my frustration with the kinda positions that are allowed here without much pushback vs the ones that aren't (ML, Titoist, Maoist, Socialist of the 21st century, Dengist, Anarchist, liberal, completely illiterate? A-OK, no contradiction whatsoever! Left unity! Leftcom, Trot, Stupidpol? Angry emoji) might have made me jump the gun a bit. Sorry about that.
Ah, I see. I just checked, it was the Wang Huning article, right? I did jump in that thread a bit hard, apologies. I'd had a few pretty harsh discussions around propaganda and China recently and I was on a bit of a hair-trigger regarding the subject.
Regarding stupidpol, they've only gotten steadily more reactionary over time and I don't think the community here could (or should) successfully practice unity with them. Honestly, I'm not fan of trots/leftcoms (too much tendency to bash AES), but I think it's unfair to them to put them in the same category as stupidpol.
Stupidpol - not a legitimate type of leftism. Most of them are transphobic / other types of bigot, which invalidates them. Bigots get bullets.
Leftcoms - chill as long as they’re not condescending assholes / sectarian. I don’t know why, but it seems like that’s hard for a lot of them. Big “debate bro” energy for whatever reason.
Trots - newspaper nerds, but we love them. Respect for dealing with all the ice pick jokes they do.
