      Imagine thinking governments, fascists and PR agencies wouldn’t migrate to wherever people choose to hang out and continue their decades-long campaign to brainwash people into believing whatever is convenient for them.

          PSA: these kinds of threads are a great way to create blocklists of western bootlickers and trolls.

          This you?

          And now you’re defending the practice.

          How about, you and the rest of the dumbasses pushing your propaganda garbage go find another place to peddle it? Like hell?

              First, I will take the compliment with grace.

              Second, this forum deserves a better class of communist. This shit is just intellectually lazy.

                Most socialists are people in the global south. Their projects that “tankies” support are actually being done. Most of this “you’re a tankie” shit stems from western chauvinist white man’s burden shit. Call us when you’ve done a successful socialist revolution, until then we’re going to be emulating the ideologies of successful socialist projects.

                Edit: because lol “the US did a revolution” , read “the counter revolution of 1776”

                  So engaging in violence is the determining factor for determining who can have opinions?

                  That’s great news, because Marx drew pretty heavily from the French and US revolutions when discussing his own revolutionary framework. Where do I pick up my badge?

                  Edit - Just do a revolution! No not that way!

                    So engaging in violence is the determining factor for determining who can have opinions?

                    No, you are free to engage in revolutionary violence that results in a socialist society with a communist ruling party or elect your way into a socialist society with a communist ruling party. Plenty of socialists did the latter, they just didn’t live for long. If you do that I’ll gladly listen to you.

                  Nah, this shit is broken on mobile and I can’t see the context of my own comments for some reason. Sometimes when I hit context it shows me random comments under the same parent.

                  But bro you are on the same website having the same conversation I am lmao.

              How about you go fuck yourself instead? That’s all you can do anyway. We’re not going anywhere and we outnumber you.

              Bahaha look at you. “Everyone who disagrees with me is a bootlicker/troll/westerner.”

              Edit for the bootlicking troll below: Ahem A straw man fallacy is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be “attacking a straw man”.

              You don’t understand what a straw man is.

              You’re really bad at this. You even tried to copy my comment and failed miserably! Congratulations, you’re stupid in two languages!
