"Nowhere near a tankie!"
Viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibes
Someone was literally doing the "Every revolution is good until it has to govern" bit, but unironically.
they're reading theory now just a little more - read "the Highest Stage of Capitalism".
and fwiw, this is why I like State and Rev as a reading rec for libs - it reads like a twitter rant but coherent.
“Of COURSE I’m a communist—I’m as far left as they come! That’s why we need to vote for Biden, reach out to Nazis, and lick the boots of the police and military! Anyone who questions me is either Russian or insane!”
Have you heard about the Nazis in Ukraine? Libs also still constantly talk about the far-right versus the regular wholesome right and Trump voters versus regular wholesome Republicans. Mentally liberals still believe that we’re in the year 2015.
Google trends shows that the term “moderate republicans” has had more or less the same level of interest since 2004:

And if liberals were actually interested in stopping Nazism, they would stop the capitalism that creates it.
When I see evidence for this rather than just vibes, I’ll believe. Given the choice between communism and fascism, liberals usually choose fascism.
