Thank you Hexbear for not being like disgusting shit in this pic. There are far too few sites like Hexbear. This is quite sincerely the only place safe for everyone on the left.

    If I told these dinguses they should read settlers they’d say it divides the left

    And then they’d carry on using slurs and being assholes as if what makes poc feel really safe in a movement is the dominant white group saying the n word and dismissing their needs and concerns as bourgeois bullshit

      Since these people have already determined settlers is written by a contemporary lib and have dismissed it, just tell them to read Wretched of the Earth and have their brains self combust trying to discredit a heralded Marxist in Frantz Fanon

        That's easy to dismiss though, everyone knows the difference between Fanon and canon.

          I haven’t read settlers so I can’t say but Wretched is a vital read to get a better understanding of what Marxism means in the the new world.

      they're just fascists. They'd rather a movement with a million boat-dealership owning MAGA guys than one J. Sakai. They fundamentally want a petit-bourgeois middle class imperial core movement that larps as the "true working class" and tramples underfoot the "radlibs" who lecture them about racism. They fundamentally think that the more you care about bigotry within the proletariat, the more liberal you are, as if these concerns must be divorced from the "pure" class struggle. I would also tell them to read Losurdo's "Liberalism: A Counter History" but they aren't ready for that either. They fling slurs at their interlocutors because they think being working class means being ignorant and bigoted, and that the more ignorant and bigoted they are, the more they will resonate with the "true" (white, petit bourgeois, imperial core) "working class"
