  • Mate, can we stop trying to make slop content out of socialist figures? First the alignment chart, now a Tierlist.

    This is the sort of thing that bored people on the internet do to decide which processed fast food they like better, not represent which historical Marxist was more “based”.

    I think we can do better than this, come on.






  • I think it’s totally fair for them to glorify their founding fathers. Every modern state glorifies it’s founders in such a way, and it reflects on the principles of the country as well. Modern China idolizes Mao, modern Russia idolizes Lenin/Stalin, modern Korea idolizes Kim Il Sung, India with Gandhi, the Philippines with Jose Rizal. Naturally the US glorifies a handful of elitist genocidal slavers, and I think it reflects on the country it’s always been.



  • I happen to be friends with a Libertarian from the US, rural fellow, but heir to a lot of money from his family, and is genuinely a party member who’s voted for them multiple times. The way it goes with him is the two of us argue over capitalism constantly, and theres no way I can convince him of many Marxist ideas, but the difference between him and any normal libs, which I’ve noticed, is that unlike a lib, who would only become skeptical of US crimes overseas if it’s the “wrong team”, he immediately is opposed regardless of who says it, and his opinions on US involvement in foreign countries lines up 100% with mine, despite arriving at those conclusions from very different ideological backgrounds.

    I have more hope for this type of person than I do with any liberal, who will only ever have the right opinion on war, genocide, and apartheid decades after it’s long over and too late.








  • This is nothing new, since the 90s, both the far right “monarchists” and every stripe of socialist in Russia has been united against the liberal destruction of the Russian system that was taking place back then. Just take one look at the mass protests in Russia in the early 90s, you’ll see all sorts of odd flags, hammer and sickles side by side with the black white and yellow. It just goes to show how fucking terrible things were in Russia that these groups were all on the same team to oppose the west/Yeltsin.


  • It’s because this sort of protesting is primarily for virtue signaling, they want to show other people who already agree with them how much they “get it” and how smart they are etc. They aren’t making sure they’re directing their energy at sending a message to those who are actually in power, which is why they don’t take it as seriously.
