They're not relevant in the slightest IRL.

Anyone want to explain why I see so much shit about patsocs in every online leftist space, all of which is totally divorced from things people actually give a shit about IRL?

It seems there's this trend where some patsocist says something absurd online -> everyone rushes to dunk/criticize/make fun of it -> the patsoc's message gets amplified to the millionth degree. Do content creators not realize that shitting out 500 videos/threads/posts/etc dunking on something that only exists online is only going to amplify it further?

    Because it’s the new replacement snarlword for “tankie” and will spread to include all Marxist-Leninists and anti-imperialists more generally. Patsocs make up maybe 0.00000001% of the population but get a ton of attention because they are clowns that are obviously stupid, so they will be a useful outgroup later to label people with (similar to nazbol, etc)

    You can get mad at this take, but we’ll see in a couple years if radlibs are calling us Maupinites/MAGA Communists/Patsocs. Already get called a Putinist, Assadist, Nazbol, tankie, etc. Cant wait for libs to overreact about this one and absorb another label to use

        The second American Civil War was fought between two former political parties turned insurgent groups: The Democrats (Marxist-Leninist-Hoxhaists) and The Republicans (Marxist-Leninist-LaRouchists). Neither faction were communist in any way, shape or form.

          This capitalist infighting led to an opening for the anti-revisionist Communist Party (Libertarian) (not actually libertarian) to seize control of the government and institute a Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

            Next week, we'll discuss how the Libertarian Party turned to Anarcho-capitalist Posadism after they captured several nuclear warheads and instituted M.A.D.N.A.P. (blockchain-based automated mutual annihilation, should the sanctity of property be violated) in several regions, before ultimately setting off 70% of the nukes over a contract dispute concerning the respective spheres of influence of the McDonalds and Wendy's fiefdoms.
