No, I think it was the opposite. I'm the one who keeps insisting that socialist philosophy doesn't stop in 1924, that the socialist international is not a Leninist organization, and that MLs who quote Chomsky in defense of autocratic politics are way more fucking dense than any lib.

Y'all are the ones who treat Lenin's half baked, modernist screed like some cringeworthy dogma painted on your cave wall, while continuously demonstrating that you are mostly slacktivists, trolls and keyboard warriors who express no actual interest in political philosophy beyond your painfully outmoded geopolitical head canon, yet go around mocking others for not finding your stick drawings very convincing.

Okay, so you would be willing to explain some basic marxist ideas to the viewer then?

Great!

How do fixed capital, ttotroptf, and the primary mode of worker alienation under capital intersect?(As described by Marx and not successfully criticized up to the present day) This has multiple answers and one of them can be a one word answer.

That out of the way, on a personal note;

I work on two different grassroots campaigns because a nearby hospital is closing and the lead pipes are poisoning the community's children. I am heading up internal reorganization to make my org safer, and am donating most of my salary from my bullshit job that lets me post and organize for most of the day to socialist orgs, while surviving as a multiracial trans woman in a rural area of a deep red state. I'm currently reading socialist and anarchist texts written in the last 5 years, on hiatus from reading a book about the soviet dual monetary system because it is machine translated from Russian and is a slog.

I have more respect for the least educated hexbear slacktivists than I do for anti-communist "socialists" like yourself.

Log the fuck off and start from the basics again, because you've obviously misunderstood them based on all the dogshit takes I've seen from you. All the anarcho syndies I know who actually do shit would not get along with your sorry ass.

Yeah buddy, I'm not your monkey. If you want to have an actual conversation about why, eg, autocracy doesn't do jack shit to resolve exploitation via labor alienation and commodification, I'm here for it. Or if you want to go over why the complete lack of actionable framework for curating the political agency of the individual is, in fact, one of the most glaring and widely discussed holes in Marxist orthodoxy, I'd love to pull that string.

But if you are just going to be another smug sectarian who insists on making dishonest campist garbage the bottom of their moral well, then I guess we can keep taking pot shots at eachother. I just think the internet deserves a better class of socialist.
