I have never once met a person who talks like this who has also made a good faith effort to under Marxist thought. Why are you so confident? We've been around for hundreds of years, we have a lively and robust intellectual landscape, and calling us red fash without even making an attempt to hear us out hurts you more than it hurts us.
Communism is decent, tankies rarely are. Zealots in general are awful, in my opinion, but especially political zealots.
Dissent = ban happens either way. I'm already banned from Lemmygrad for "anticommunism ".
Try going to any "scientific socialist" community and tell them you don't believe what Trotsky said about the Kronstadt sailors.
Watch criticism of party structures and leaders get flattened into base-anticommunism.
I've read and listened to plenty of Marxists, enough for me to trust in their analysis, and not their ability to talk to people who don't know how, or don't want to learn how to walk on your eggshells.
Thank you sir for helping defend us. I'm not very smart but I try to say what I can
I'm dying. This is my favorite comment of yours by far. I'm amazed that you realize that you have some deficiencies in the intelligence department. Fuckin brilliant
You don't have to be smart to want people to not be hungry
