    It is funny, all my adult life I’ve been a leftist but never had much interaction with tankies because of how I was always taught that they were hypocrites and pseudo-fascists and so on…

    But lurking lemmygrad and seeing “liberals”, who mostly don’t even know what that word means, getting repeatedly dunked on with actual sources and recommended reading has been a great eye opener to what ml actually stands for.

    So please keep doing what you guys are doing, because even if who you are responding to runs away after getting an elaborated answer, there will always be people like me that are actually trying to learn something and will appreciate the response.

    Communists that you find on internet are not just 13 year olds from america, there is a world out there you libs/conservatives from americkkka. It is really funny you guys still make this joke. Communists comes in different age, colour, from different countries. It is not a phase in the life of rebellious children from your country. So please don’t come here to infantilize us.

          I don’t fully know what it entails but the CPC has 98 million party members. For a population of 1.4 billion that seems low, but you have to remember that not every single person has the ambition to be politically involved. Many people just live their lives without being member of a political party. And even then, almost 1 in 14 people being member of the biggest party in the country is pretty massive.

      But random attacks on the character of their enemy is the only way they know how to dismiss a position that disagrees with theirs! What else could they possibly do other than call us names? If they actually listened to us they might realise we have something to say.

        That’s it. The only way to remain an anti-communist is to refuse to read communist literature. Anyone who reads communist theory will either become a communist or know that communists are right (and become a figure like McCarthy).

      There were a few occasions when the Romanian fascists machine‐gunned retreaters.

      Officers often threatened to shoot cowards, and commanders sometimes even ordered “blocking detachments” to machine gun soldiers who retreated, though this was rarely followed through with.

      In case anyone actually has some of these questions:

      We’re a Marxist-Leninist instance, which means we’re communists.

      Libs refers to people who follow liberalism, which applies to both the US’ Democratic Party and the Republican Party.

      Theory refers to Marxist theory. We’re often famous for telling people to read things…

      The basketball is because memes are way better than making a paragraph explaining like this.

      Rich westerners with access to all the treasures of the world’s literature, freely available, seconds away: “I can’t be bothered to read”.

      WW1 soldiers suffering from the most brutal war in history:

      We came down to the front of the Twelfth Army, back of Riga, where gaunt and bootless men sickened in the mud of desperate trenches; and when they saw us they started up, with their pinched faces and the flesh showing blue through their torn clothing, demanding eagerly, “Did you bring anything to read?”

        Go harder. If we keep projecting the graph to lower dimensions until there’s just a point then you don’t have to waste a bullet on me anymore. Honestly we could simplify a lot of things this way. If you simplify enough you only need one of anything and you have everything. Bam. Post scarcity society and all of a sudden you don’t have to shoot me again.

            It’s all good. When people cite horseshoe theory they’re taking a point in n-dimensional space and projecting it down to 1 dimension then manipulating it in two dimensions to claim they’re the same view. If we use the standard auth/libertarian 2d one, they took auth left and right to call you nazis. It’s braindead. Yeah. They’re both auth. That’s how fucking graphs work. Having to project it down to lower dimensions is just stunningly stupid.

            I’m a voluntarist, but I share a lot of values and ethics with you guys so when some fuck whose political philosophy is probably just anything Trump doesn’t like comes in and pulls that shit I get a little frisky.

              This is not a place where using big words to sound smart wins you acclaim. Nowhere is. You’ll do much better with other people if you can explain your point of view sincerely, instead of just trying to sound as big brained as possible when you communicate with people. You might think this makes you intelligent, but emotional intelligence is the true core of the intelligent individual. Learn to communicate ideas, learn to understand other’s ideas. If you’re the smartest person in the room, find a better room. If you think you are the smartest person in the room in every room, you’re not, you’re just an insecure idiot pretending to be smart. Real intelligence comes not from showing off the things you know, but from being eager to learn new things.

                None of those are big words or difficult concepts. The first comment was entirely casual. They asked me to explain. I don’t think I necessarily even used the right terms, but I used the words I’m familiar with. I was legitimately trying to explain why I hate horseshoe people. You’ve got one thing right, though, all of my social ‘skills’ are learned via trial and error. They don’t make pills for that.

                  Fair enough, I was probably a bit too harsh there. This instance often gets trolls of the “smug debatebro” variety, who use big words they barely understand in an attempt to sound smart, but just make themselves look like idiots when they get things wrong.

          The USSR defeated 70% of the german divisions in WW2, and paid the greatest cost in blood and suffering. They literally saved the world from Nazism.

          The tides of the war were turned a full year and a half at Stalingrad, after which the US decided to get in the game to prevent a red europe.

      Wow, idk where to start. So first off, did you not read the meme? I assume you’re a lib who refuses to read theory. Secondly, just because Conservatives and socialists don’t like Liberals, doesn’t mean we’re the same. If you actually had read theory you would understand the basic fact that Conservatism IS Liberalism. From our perspective, conservatives will NEVER dunk on libs because they themselves are a type of liberal.
