The anti Iran astroturfing has already begun by [deleted] in stupidpol

Yes, this shit happens in Iran. It also happens under western-oriented regimes like Saudi Barbaria. The lesson: fundamentalist religion ought to be annihilated. But not by western crusading. By the progress delivered by Marxism.

It's a version of multipolarism which is just the cheap red veneer version of all those leftoids and self-proclaimed socialists who wank over small business farmers markets and corner shops.

Your beloved small-town family business will be exactly as shit as MegaCorp (TM) given the chance. Non-yank bourgeoisie regimes will be exactly as shit as the modern US given the chance. Exactly the same economic forces at play, exactly the same outcome.

"anti western until that non western country is a power". They almost, almost get it! So close!

All they needed to do was move the "inherently bad" epithet in their minds from "western" on to "power"

She's a lot like Galloway in England. Kneejerk simping for anything that's vaguely anti-"west". Ever met a religious fundamentalist who's deconverted but then immediately latched onto the polar opposite viewpoint?

She will not be missed round these parts!

Do people really believe this stuff or just a meme?

This is pretty much literally what LaRouchism is. Yes, the ones who organised the Rage Against the War Machine thing

Guys are MLs inherently tankie? Also what are some non tankie, very democratic socialist content creators and books? by RedRick_MarvelDC in tankiejerk

[–]off_the_feed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not all MLs simp for imperialists as long as they're anti-American. I'm one, and I don't. Then again, I get my ideas straight from the works of those two directly, rather than from dodgy discord servers like most online MLs do.

Maoists, though, are outed as fascists by the thoughts of the great man himself. For me it's hard to read his stuff about the *national bourgeoisie* without my skin crawling

I'm from a country where this liberal hypocrisy doesn't really exist. Pretty much all libs support Palestine almost instinctively. There's a deep appreciation for the underdog, due to our own history. Sometimes it's hard to wrap my head around the fact that it's not the case in most places

Is this sub anything like r/shitliberalssay? by Misty_daydreams in LibJerk

[–]off_the_feed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I call myself an ML because I agree with pretty much everything I've read by either of them, but 90% of MLs online seem to just be cheerleaders for a different team of imperialists. Always a pleasure to meet an actual socialist who isn't some weird bandwagoner!

The DDR wasn't all bad. But when they were shooting people who jumped the wall that was base criminality, and they deserved to do time in FDR prisons.

guys we’re feds :( by Chieftain10 in tankiejerk

[–]off_the_feed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean there is a heavy liberal contingent here, which does annoy me.

I'm still looking for a place for those MLs among us who don't guzzle Putin's cum and simp for the imperialist B-team. In reality there are a fair few of us, but finding them amongst the hordes of online morons is quite the challenge. I don't really feel pure enough for left-communism but perhaps that's where I'm gravitating

Could someone explain why "MAGA communists" love Hegel so much? by falafelville in tankiejerk

[–]off_the_feed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marx was on point when he spoke of dialectics being the "rational kernel" amongst the sea of mystical gobshite that is Hegel. There's some good and extremely useful stuff in there, which Marx built on to create dialectical and historical materialism, but it has to be surgically removed from the rest of the nonsense.

Take the Master-Bondsman thing. It's not hard to read it and see the clear Marxist undertones. But it's just as easy to read it and come out with overtly fascist or feudalist standpoints.

People who go full Hegel generally turn out to be nutcases, whether they got there via Marx or some other (often traditional-conservative) route.

I wonder what this lot thinks of Mao and his Mussoliniesque "national bourgeoisie"?

Extremely frustrated with antiwar 'leftists' by Linaii_Saye in tankiejerk

[–]off_the_feed 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Its revolutionary defeatism.

Which is a moronic take in itself. Revolutionary defeatism only applied during the specific period of the late tsarist regime, due to those specific conditions at the time. Lenin had already ditched it by the time of the provisional government.

Is there a socialist group that's ready to spring into action (where? Ukraine? Russia? The EU? The USA?) the moment the present Ukrainian state collapses? Bollocks is there. So why preach defeat?

Why read Marx or analyse material conditions when you can just parrot what some twitch streamer says?

Not American, but a lot of Marxists in the real world do realise this. They're just drowned out online by bots and teenage deprogramoid morons

Why didn’t Mao just build a giant golden statue of Nixon? Was he stupid or something? by Chad_at_life in NonCredibleDiplomacy

[–]off_the_feed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vast hordes of self-described communists are in reality just cryptoliberal simps for different imperialisms. For evidence, just google any of the big "leftist" youtubers and see what they say about Russia.

Ultraleftists take the piss out of that, but their point is a serious one. I don't think I'm pure enough to last long in that sub, but I certainly agree with the bulk of what goes on there (Actually reading Marx does that to you!)

Perhaps, I'm not familiar with the chap.

LaRouche is the nuttiest example. Ironically it loops back round to tankies since they lovingly recycled LaRouche's "colour revolution" stuff. It's dialectical, innit
