they keep talking as though we fundamentally want the same things but have different views on how to achieve it. no, i want the amerikkkan state and its allies wiped from the face of the earth and every one of its politicians, media cheerleaders, military brass, etc shot, even the ones who are ok with me being trans! i don’t want a “lesser evil”. i want the people to assert themselves on the world historical stage and drag you and everyone like you from your comfortable homes. you are the modern incarnation of the Nazis, you are actively carrying out the worst atrocity i have seen in my life, and yet you think you can convince me to do anything for you, let alone not actively work for your overthrow and execution???

    Hmmmm it’s almost like the consequential factor lies in the differences bewteen liberals and communists

    I wonder what those crucial differences are thinkin-lenin

    If you replace “Nazi” with “liberals”, you get the question that most of us non-liberals ask ourselves.

    You call Nazis bloodthirsty, then go on how you want Nazi Germany and all its allies wiped from the face of the earth, and execute anyone you consider a Nazi

    If someone came up to you and spit this nonsense at you, would you take it seriously?

        1. Be liberal
        2. Win the election as a centre-right coalition bringing both sides of the aisle together
        3. Tank the economy because idealist economic theory cannot defeat the laws of nature
        4. Proles are mad. Subdue labour protests by siccing the riot police on them.
        5. Fascists are using white supremacist rhetoric to wind up the disgruntled poors. I disapprove of what they say, but I will defend to the death their right to say it.
        6. Glibly hand over the reigns of power to a fascist in the ensuing election
        7. How could Russia do this

          This is pretty brilliantly written. Only part I didn’t like was point 3. Seems like the key there wasn’t tanking the economy as a whole but rather allowing the wealthiest few to seize all the resources for private gain and expand the wealth gap to historic levels. The “economy” was doing great during most of this time.

      Gamergators: religious fundies and feminists are just as bad because they both want to take away my video game treats

      Hexbear: liberals and what they label conservatives may be rhetorically different but ultimately they both protect the imperial core because they depend on it

      Liberals: clearly the above two groups are exactly the same
