    No no, every single thing that ever went wrong in a ML country was caused by the CIA. If it wasn’t for them it would have been paradise. I mean wait, it was paradise. I mean… shut up!

      Starting to sound like SHITLIB talk! Nothing went wrong in any ML country, except the CIA-funded revisionist politicians who CONVINCED the masses with BLATANT LIES that their entire lives had been horrible and under an immensely oppressive state apparatus. Even today, the people who lived through the Soviet paradise have false memories of their so-called ‘oppression’. 😔

    Apparently takes that you can source straight from Marx and Engels are bizarre and idiosyncratic

    bizarre, idiosyncratic takes that exactly one person on earth believes, but which they’ll treat as the most obvious thing in the world

    Utterly nailing a particular kind of crank, in a way I’m going to reference in the future. Too bad they think they’re talking about goofy pragmatic compromises and not the pretzel-logic diehards nodding beside them.

    Not ‘never vote blue because this time third parties and nonparticipation will drag the party to the left while fascists start rounding us up.’

    Not ‘annexing Ukraine’s children isn’t genocide because unless it comes from the genosi region it’s just sparkling ethnic cleansing.’

    Not ‘never-been-tried means a perfect track record.’

    Though I suppose those are sadly common.

    Don’t take this the wrong way but you sound a bit like a tankie.

    Maybe that’s why you weren’t immediately banned
