    It’s funny how we can’t accept any kind of ‘incremental progress’ but it’s okay for every lib to dismiss everything ever achieved by AES because reasons. Libs love inverting history.

    ‘moving more centre just out of spite’ = already centrist or, as Mao put it:

    liberalism rejects ideological struggle and stands for unprincipled peace, thus giving rise to a decadent, Philistine attitude and bringing about political degeneration

    Doesn’t matter whether you’ve read every communist work in the library if you’re still a liberal at the end of it. May as well stick with Harry Potter if you can read Marx and Engels yet develop so few principles that you can contemplate supporting the centre of bourgeois politics. Imagine reading Marx and Engels and then supporting mass-murdering neoliberals to own the tankies.

      Liberals when they vote for a guy who goes back on all the tiny concessions he promised them: “Ahh well. Nevertheless. At least we kept a cheeto out of the white house!”

      Liberals when an AES lifts 800 million people out of poverty, increases wages at a higher rate than GDP growth, creating the largest economy on Earth: “Akshully Dengism is bad. Muh billionaires.”

    Liberals - “They never criticize Russia!”

    Hexbear/Lemmygrad users - detailed list of wrongs committed by the Russian state, with accompanying list of much more fucked up wrongs by the US.

    Liberals - “Those are Russian talking points!”

    I’ve read Marx, Engels, Kropotkin, Luxemburg

    Demsoc moment

    the inability of hexbear or lemmygrad users to consider any kind of incremental progress

    Actually I support incrementalism by supporting the USSR. It’s the leftcoms that are inflexible smh

    every member is frothing at the mouth angry at anything that isn’t classical party-speak

    True true. Last time I went on Hexbear, everyone was like, “In the face of strategic challenges not seen since the founding of the website, the Central Committee of the Forum resolutely passes the 32nd Statement, denouncing the disorderly proliferation of rightist comments and false characterization of the forum. In order to create an all-around prosperous environment for netizens, as well as to increase the quality of ideological education on the forum, the Central Committee has enacted the “Two Links” policy, enabling Hexbear netizens to link image macros and to link URLs in retaliation to aggressive comments.”

        This person who is being called a Maoist doesn’t even read Mao. Their username probably has nothing to do with the org

          Well, if you look lets say on the deprogram sub when they have yet another maoist struggle session, they sure don’t write as if they read Mao, so that’s not this surprising.

    tankies defend Russia cause it’s not the US

    We certainly criticize them for not being a workers state and their reactionary tendencies towards queer people, if this is talking about the SMO again then once again they’re just ignorant.

    Shit, I am sorry comrades. I am not frothing at the mouth angry at everything, I will turn in my lemmygrad membership card.

    I guess I have to go back to being a liberal and making incremental progress by checks notes drone striking and/or couping more countries.
