    "Comrade, I disagree with your interpretation of paragraph 2, page 874 of Kapital"

    But I guess to be fair, the Left also overestimates how united the Right is

    I've seen it phrased "The left is into collectivism and are easily unified!", a hypothesis trivially defeated by observing any big tent left space for a yoctosecond.

    And then, Trotsky took Stalin’s left hand and said “I should never have left! Let’s agree to never fight again” and Stalin kissed him and then they both pranced away, hand in hand, into the field right as the sun was setting

      we gotta stop rejecting absolutely everybody that hasn't lived a fully leftist life or doesn't think exactly alike

      it's the easiest way to break up any leftist group tbh.. just the smallest detail can rip a group apart it seems

      I'm willing to accept just about anyone if they're for helping us dismantle this system and make the world an immensely better place

        What about the leftists who do want to dismantle every single person who doesn’t align with their form of leftism? Because I noticed this is usually what happens. Spaces get overtaken with people who are unwilling to do the slightest bit of self crit and then want to criticize other leftists and it drives people away as they become more insular. And frankly I hate organizing with people like that even if we agree on most things.

        we don't reject people who show a willingness to try and learn or at least ask real questions, anyone who doesn't isn't worth the time, and should be bullied until they shut the fuck up, imo

      We say this, then let in a tiny trickle of people and they are all giga-libs spouting vaush and nato talking points, and close the spigot again

        Those people have highly curated ideologies sustained by internet communities so idk how well they represent the world (outside idk, universities?)

          no, it's about 65% of what you find on english speaking internet. Believing that chauvinist "leftists" aren't the overwhelmingly majority of western leftists is self-delusion IMO.

    I didn't know that! Now that I do - I'm going to share InevitableSwing's Leftist Manifesto. I haven't written it yet so be patient please. It may take a while but I'll get there. ~1/1,000

    CW: Self harm!

    Does anyone have that communist edit of a long stand up sketch, with the one leftist trying to convince the other not kill themselves, which ends in "die, liberal!"? Thanks in advance.

    The Right is so upset that they're not actually going to be purged in a left-wing revolution. It destroys them inside, knowing they don't get to martyr themselves in a blaze of glory. So they just die of Covid to trigger us instead.

    We get it Tucker, the left is invincible. Join or die. There is no chance to stand against the inevitable red tide that will sweep across the world, communism will prevail, and all your standard talking points...
