    This shit is 100% why I call myself a communist, not a socialist. If you call me a tankie I will say yeah I'm a tankie. I don't actually identify as a "tankie" because its a nonsense word detached from real political analysis. I just refuse to allow these people their stupid little own. Smug bullshit. What world can you win with smug bullshit?

        It is as inevitable as the heat death of the universe. When that day comes I'll be saying "I'm a Marxist-Leninist" and they'll smugly say "oh so you mean a Stalinist?" and I'll say yeah, you're goddamned right.

              Sucks that all the post-millenial generations are named after frats.

                In retrospect naming generations after letters and starting at the end of the alphabet was probably not the move

            I remember seeing a video of a guy who calls himself a communist/marxist and he literally claims he doesn't need to read theory because he listens to Mike Duncan podcasts
