Honestly it doesn't quite matter to me if the election victory is 'legitimate'. My opposition to US-backed coups (both dems like Chris Murphy and repubs like John Bolton admit in public that they tried & failed to coup Venezuela) is not contingent on its target being socialist, progressive or democratic

BadEmpanada can defend himself from critique by claiming he's just being factual, but even the fucking Majority Report had more principle in stating they didn't know for certain because they weren't experts on Venezuela, and more importantly putting front and center their opposition to US regime change

When you have Kamala Harris supporters arguing a more principled anti-imperialist position than you, you know you've fucked up

Exactly

Yeah, one of the telltale signs of a reactionary pseudo-marxist is upholding Stalin while denouncing or ignoring Lenin

Simultaneous fatphobia and "you own product but you are communist, curious" bs

I'M SO SORRY IT WAS FAKE NEWS

I plead the 5th.

Forcing poor posters to touch grass.

Those who pay get to spam as much as they want (and there's plenty of "verified" bots)

No, because we are the future.

People saying Semantics and meaning Cosmetics is exactly why we need Semantics.

Semantics ≠ Debate Culture

Semantics is the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning.

Unsure why people dismiss it so casually.

That aside, I largely agree with your conclusion.

Pretty hard to follow the rules when you don't know what they are...

Marx = Mario, Engels = Luigi, Stirner = Waluigi, Wario = ¿Bakunin?

I had a half-decent idea, just posted.
