      I’d prefer not to be put into a gulag

      See? This is the shit I’m talking about. All of your fears of tankies throwing you in the gulag are predicated on some sort of revolution happening. Do you really think that’s imminent? Like, look around. Name a prominent tankie who is poised to lead the vanguard and replace the government of whatever country you live in.

      You’re just telling yourselves ghost stories.

      “Deplatform” whoever you want, but none of this online shit matters. There’s no class consciousness in the US, there isn’t likely to be any anytime soon, and should it ever materialize they won’t be third-worldists.

          The proper revolution requires there to be no people who would put people in gulags

          Talk about irrelevant. You yourself recognize it’s not happening anytime soon. So explain why any of this matters. Go do what you can to help your community. There’s no revolution coming, so we should all just be doing what we can to ameliorate the effects of capitalism. If it’s your hobby to have little arguments online that’s fine (it’s one of my hobbies too!), but don’t pretend you’re actually laying the groundwork for anything.

          You think the reason there’s no class consciousness in the US is because tankies enjoy Soviet aesthetics? Buddy that’s not even top 50 on the list. Fucking Marvel movies are higher on the list of reasons why there’s no class consciousness in the US than the online weirdos who wear ushankas.
