They call for the execution of landlords and say "Death to NATO."

I am an anti-capitalist leftist btw.

I was reading some theory yesterday (Obama if you're interested) and there was a really interesting point they made where they said "when they go low, we go high". Really resonated with me. Something to think about.

I'm way far left of liberal btw.

I would have totally voted for Obama a third time if I could

Tactically for Democrats that means concede power to the Republicans, which the Republicans never concede power to the Democrats. Even with Republicans losing majority votes, they use the court system to hold onto power and grasp more legal power.

It resonates with a method of liberals giving power to greedy fascists

stalin-smokin shit so I am following Obama Thought

Communism is good on paper but Marx never accounted for human nature!

No I've never read any of his books...

Surplus value? Is that the name of a thrift store?

[–] RedWizard@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Come on down to Surplus Value and receive all the rewards and none of the burdens! No project begins without Surplus Value.

Surplus Value, part of the Capital Inc. Family.

Those hexbears really take it too far, wasn't it Marx who said

We have no issue with imperialism and we ask no issue with imperialism from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make late rent payments.

The other day I was looking up what Lenin said about Revolutionary Defeatism and it's like reading it there's no way he wouldn't have spammed PPB at people lol

snippets

This is an instance of high-flown phraseology with which Trotsky always justifies opportunism.

The phrase-bandying Trotsky has completely lost his bearings on a simple issue.

(Bukvoyed and Semkovsky give more direct expression to the “thought”, or rather want of thought, which they share with Trotsky.)

Had Bukvoyed and Trotsky done a little thinking, they would have realised that they have adopted the viewpoint on the war held by governments and the bourgeoisie, i.e., that they cringe to the “political methodology of social-patriotism”, to use Trotsky’s pretentious language

Many of them will reply that it is impossible, as Kautsky has done, thereby fully proving his social-chauvinism.

Lenin was a poster.

the funniest thing about reading Lenin is the sense that you're reading forum drama from a hundred years ago and that he never stops dunking. hence my thesis that theory is the highest form of dunk.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

If Twitter had existed in 1905 there would have been not leftist revolutions in the 20th century because no one on the left would ever have logged off.

Theory: When you do years of research, countless revisions, peer review, and finally publish 500 pages of dense academic work to prove OP is wrong.

[–] Starlet@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

classic hexbear brigaders in this thread 🙄

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

They're just sooo cringe

When you post in another instance this is called brigading I am very smart

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm as leftist as they come, but anything that goes against fedposting in any way is clearly CCP and/or Kremlin propaganda.

I know, right? I'm as left wing as they come (voted for Biden) and i can't understand why these so-called liberals don't want to send cluster munitions to Ukraine. It's like they're Republicans! I bet they don't even think that January 6th was the greatest tragedy our country ever faced

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Oh hey, also their emoticons are way too big. We could just ask them to fix it ~~but we can use this as an excuse~~ but there's just no other option. They've got to go!

[–] RedCat@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have also read calls to put Nazis Infront of walls. I am very left (I watch every Vaush Stream and Contra Points video) but how can anyone pretend to be a leftist and call for measures like this? Killing Nazis would make us as bad as they are. We need to engage in civil discourse with them and beat them in the marketplace of ideas.

a good bit doesn't need the tag because it's funnier if someone takes it seriously

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Aamer Rahman's bit on this. A classic.

[–] puff@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

You got me.

[–] KilgoreTheTrout@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Just in general I think we need to associate more with Vaush community who is the only leftist community that recognized the value that landlords and local sheriff's offices provide.

You just need to put more leftist in these sheriff offices and in the US military so we can win the Battle of ideas.

So what if you have to evict your neighbors... At the end of the day you can convince other people at the sheriff's office to vote for Biden and mayor Pete in 2028

I'm as liberal as they come and even I think that pig poop balls is gross and authoritarian is bad. And no I don't need to read theory, I grew up in the school of hard knocks so I know what it's like fr fr.

[–] NormalC@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I became a tankie to get a free tank but no tank came in the mail.

So now I'm not a tankie but still have no tank. Time for a "why I 'left' the left" post.

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

"Why I left the left" posts are all well and good, but how about we get some "Why I right the right" posts

Stir things up a little

[–] ElRenosaurusReg@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Is this irony or..?

Death to NATO refers to the dissolution of NATO itself, it is not a call to actually kill anyone.

In reference to landlords, I mean personally I'm with you on that, but the alternative is reeducation, which the right will ultimately view and espouse as prison. You cannot be anticapitalist and pro-landlord, the ideas oppose each other at their cores.

[–] TillieNeuen@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

It's from a lemmygrad user and posted in lemmygrad, so I think it's safe to say it's a joke. They're riffing on the other instances wanting to defederate from us, when we all know that's not gonna happen here left-unity-4

[–] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

OP is a lemmygrad admin trolling.

I think OP is very reasonable. There are too many tankies on Hexbear. We don't want to risk them coming over to Lemmygrad. It would be really annoying to deal with them every Friday in the weekly Obama appreciation post.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

THERE'S A WEEKLY OBUMMER POST!?!?!?

I am there.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

they keep flooding my replies with Death to NATO. as a Natonian I'm shidding and fardding because that clearly means I'm next.

Wow Death Threats to the people who provide housing with their rightfully owned Private Property? That isn't the way things work here in my Liberal Bubble. Get banned nazi!

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope all the instances get defedpostingerated.

edit: I'm being informed that this is not what "defederate" means

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

About that you might ask someone called Josip Broz, i heard he have good ideas how to defederate places in that meaning?

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago (10 children)
