    Specifically authoritarian communists, to be clear. They aren’t fighting for everyone to have what they need, they just want to be leaders of repressed people.

    • Where is that Parenti quote…

      If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.

      It was from Blackshirts and Reds.

        Awwww, someone went as far as making an alt to attack people instead of defend themselves! It’s almost as if what I said is true and you can’t argue against it, only deflect 🤔

          This account is older than my hexbear account so that one is actually the alt. And I go on hexbear, I’m not deflecting lol it’s just true. Saying they “just want to be leaders of repressed people” is just laughable when they have things like a mutual aid comm that actually helps people and is probably the most aggressively anti-transphobe instance
