    It’s so wild that these people just don’t even have the basest line of understanding what communism is. Or capitalism for that matter. Or any political theory really.

        It is frustrating that even in Canada we didn’t learn the proper definitions of any of these things.

      they learned quite well that anything that is ostensibly bad for you is communism, therefore this must be communism. that’s all you ever need to know about politics

        Yeah I know. But it’s so fucking depressing. Like you will never get through to these people in a million years. Like wtf do we even do?

      The fun hobby is explaining Marxist theory to anti-communists, just avoiding all the buzzwords, and see how much you can get them to agree with.

        Prager U tried to assuage that somewhat by getting their lackeys to tell conservatives that the word working class is a dog whistle for communist stuff.

        Which it is, but a lot of them pick that up when I do this.

    “What? My online safety act had negative consequences on ME? How could that have happened?”

    We fucking warned you lmao. But sure, I’m sure further restrictions of freedom of expression will save freedom of expression.

    I wish. That’s a way better flag than the bloody butcher’s apron they’ve got now.

    But then, I also don’t think nations that aren’t socialist should be allowed to have a hammer and sickle on their national flag. So to use that proposed flag, Britain would have to restructure their government system in line with Marxism-Leninism, and the British communist party would have to institute some form of democratic centralism. All in favor?

        Much better. Correct. A nation that is not striving to build communism is a nation that should not exist. I’m not going to yell “global revolution” because that totally makes me sound like those damn Trots, but… yeah. Capitalist nations should not have the right to exist. I live in one and I suspect it is actively shortening my lifespan.
