    I was on my way to the BLM meeting to officially become woke but then someone on :reddit-logo: said that the USSR did good things like beating the Nazis and doubling life expectancy and that left me with no other choice than believing that the media is controlled by Jewish lizards.

      I think this one is fun because it's quoting Marx's comment on the weight of the traditions of dead generations, without understanding Marx's point in that particular piece (18th Brumaire of Louis-Napoleon), which is that just because you must let the dead bury their dead and forge new relevant movements , doesn't mean their history and failures and successes can't offer insight into the current historical moment. What always irks me when people call me a 'tankie' is that they are substituting understanding with cliche.

      In such cases, all forms of redacted will be considered excess by such people, because they have no such actual history of excess to draw from.

    So this person is racist because of a ideology that advocates for a classless, moneyless, stateless society?

    am I reading it correct? Does this person equate tankies to POC and since tankies have been mean to this lib, this person is trying hard not to be their normal racist cracker self?
