lib "critiques" of marxist thinkers are the most asinine, trite shit imaginable. all they do is ostentatiously pearl-clutch about the fact that they dare criticize the limitations of bourgeois, purely formal rights, and seek to transcend them by any means available and necessary
"omg did you know lenin said democracy under capitalism is always an illusion and for a genuine democracy to exist capitalism has to be overthrown" yes fuck off boomer bitch
see this thread for more on the concept of revolutionary violence as a defensive measure against the violence of the capitalist status quo, which is normalized and legitimized by liberal hacks
that christopher rufo guy who shares all those unhinged "SCOOPS" about "woke sjw cultural marxism indoctrinating your children", always based on outright lies, distortion and hyperbolic hysteria, works for the manhattan institute, which was founded by reagan's CIA director
he's also a director at the discovery institute, which promotes creationism in high schools and universities. that's right: the guy who is hysterically rage-whining about "cultural marxism" wants to brainwash children with his deranged christian fundementalist bullshit
notice the last sentence of that mission statement: they are only using free speech as a PR tool to push their unhinged creationism into schools. the entire thing is a christian fundamentalist, billionaire and corporate backed con, yet "journalists" take his propaganda seriously
since I've drawn the ire of libertarians, a meme ideology concocted by koch brother cash, here's what their national party conventions look like: a naked guy prancing about on stage without anyone being able to stop him bc of the non-aggression principle
that clip perfectly summarizes why libertarianism is nothing but cosplaying with hyper-abstract principles drawn up in billionaire-funded think tanks, which collapse instantly the moment they meet reality. they all abandon the non-aggression principle over one naked dude
"according to the non-aggression principle I am allowed to own a M1A1 abrams tank as long as I don't use it to infringe on other people's private property"
*sees one naked dude*
"ok fuck the NAP it's meaningless tackle that bitch"
saw a powerful speech by a guy saying he's pro-blm, anti-war, called himself an anarchist libertarian & said we should unite against state power. he's w/ an org called NAMBLA that I don't know much about but if you're against uniting w/ him you're the reason the left is a failure
I had an interview w/ him and he insisted he's anti-imperialism, definitely against racism, pro-sex work, anti-corporations and wants to dismantle the state. but his org NAMBLA gets a bad rap in the media. I talked to him. he was a genuine, sincere, nice guy we have to ally with
before you ask: no, I didn't ask him if he supports age of consent laws. that's divisive. we share more in common with him than republicans and democrats! again, if you don't want to work with him you hate workers and are why the left is a failure! also he's like fred hampton
lmao that "boogaloo boy" dore interviewed called himself a libertarian, said he's against medicare for all bc it's government healthcare and also opposes taxes, public education and other public services. in other words he wants total corporate tyranny
forget the racism and crypto-nazi views: just purely on basic politics the guy is to the right of ted cruz and mitch mcconnell. why in the FUCK would you think "allying" with a fringe deranged corporate astroturf group like this would be beneficial to the left? it's bizarre
btw, the far right libertarian pseudo-logic of these creeps is that we live under a fascist state bc it has been taken over by corporations, and the only solution for that is to destroy the state and let corporations and the "free market" loose. again, total tyranny
the most popular opposition movement in russia, which regularly draws mass crowds and comes in second in national elections despite a system rigged against them, is the russian communist party. but the western professional media class prefers to jerk off over crypto-nazi navalny
navalny has about the same amount of support in russia as warren had in the democratic primary, and that's being extremely generous. he is a widely despised figure whose core base is in the newsrooms of the new york times and guardian. more details here:
btw the russian communist party candidate was actually set to win the election against drunk puppet yeltsin who had destroyed the country, but the CIA got involved and rigged it for him. see this thread for more details on that
