    Related, I've been very disappointed with Grace Blakely, the Br*tish Marxist. Since this started, she seems obsessed with convincing the Br*tish government to take "oligarch-owned land" surrounding London. And it's gaining traction---you'll never believe this---among Swedish-speaking Twitter users (Sweden, a country which is famously not just neoliberals masquerading as social democrats).

    It's like... you know the Br*tish aren't going to start co-ops and free grocery stores on the land, right? It's just gonna be given to Br*tish landlords. What the fuck makes you think it's a good idea to advocate for just stealing Russian shit? I hesitate to use very sectarian terms like "social imperialist" but I'm really not sure what else to call this. She even mentions the Br*tish government "overlooking" shady Russian money... dog, what do you think they're gonna do when they get their hands on it?

    Do not use "Marxism" to goad your very capitalist government into stealing shit; I can't believe that needs to be said.
