Liberals - âThey never criticize Russia!â
Hexbear/Lemmygrad users - detailed list of wrongs committed by the Russian state, with accompanying list of much more fucked up wrongs by the US.
Liberals - âThose are Russian talking points!â
Itâs more that they think bringing up Russia is a spell disallowing us from speaking about the crimes of other countries for a duration. The cries of whataboutism is supposed to be counterspell.
You might be onto something with that kind of language. Give me a while, Iâve got a reference for you, about how magic is central to liberal states. Iâve just got to think of where it might be or who wrote it.
Itâs funny how we canât accept any kind of âincremental progressâ but itâs okay for every lib to dismiss everything ever achieved by AES because reasons. Libs love inverting history.
âmoving more centre just out of spiteâ = already centrist or, as Mao put it:
liberalism rejects ideological struggle and stands for unprincipled peace, thus giving rise to a decadent, Philistine attitude and bringing about political degeneration
Doesnât matter whether youâve read every communist work in the library if youâre still a liberal at the end of it. May as well stick with Harry Potter if you can read Marx and Engels yet develop so few principles that you can contemplate supporting the centre of bourgeois politics. Imagine reading Marx and Engels and then supporting mass-murdering neoliberals to own the tankies.
Liberals when they for a guy who goes back on all the tiny concessions he promised them: âAhh well. Nevertheless. At least we kept a cheeto out of the white house!â
Liberals when an AES lifts 800 million people out of poverty, increases wages at a higher rate than GDP growth, creating the largest economy on Earth: âAkshully Dengism is bad. Muh billionaires.â
Iâve read Marx, Engels, Kropotkin, Luxemburg

Actually I support incrementalism by supporting the USSR. Itâs the leftcoms that are inflexible smh
every member is frothing at the mouth angry at anything that isnât classical party-speak
True true. Last time I went on Hexbear, everyone was like, âIn the face of strategic challenges not seen since the founding of the website, the Central Committee of the Forum resolutely passes the 32nd Statement, denouncing the disorderly proliferation of rightist comments and false characterization of the forum. In order to create an all-around prosperous environment for netizens, as well as to increase the quality of ideological education on the forum, the Central Committee has enacted the âTwo Linksâ policy, enabling Hexbear netizens to link image macros and to link URLs in retaliation to aggressive comments.â

What do they think happens after revolution? Bloody hell western maoists donât even read the little red book or what?
This person who is being called a Maoist doesnât even read Mao. Their username probably has nothing to do with the org
Ah yes, we famously canât imagine incremental steps from Capitalism to Communism.
Thatâs why we dunk on Anarchists non stop for believing that you can just flip the communism switch and be done with it. Or why we support China and recognise that their incremental transition is valid and so far has been the greatest success of the 21st. century.
What the commenter really meant is âI am incredibly annoyed at those damn tankies and their will to reach communism eventually. Canât they be happy with Social Democracy and stop asking for more?â
Incrementalists are why this planet has burned, is burning, and will burn faster. Fuckâs sake.
I met a liberal from an illegitimate land
Who saidâ"Two vast and trunkless tiger-legs of paper
Stand in between me and realty⊠Near me, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered fascist lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Sunk slowly, deeper, inextricably under, despairâd!
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare incrementalism
The comradely and level red hands stretch far away."
