Same energy as making it seem like Trotsky invented armored trains and the word racism

Doesn’t it say in that letter where lenin made Trotsky the emperor of communism?

He loves to say perrrmanent revolution and (imo) downplays the roles of Lenin and especially Stalin before and during the October revolution, really seems intent on making Trotsky the protagonist, doesn’t really deal with Lenin’s writings or theories, and makes it seem like Marx formulated the original labor theory of value, but other than that it gives a decent account of the sequence of events and the interconnected movements that gave rise to the revolution. I also felt like he did a good job of explaining the motivations and necessity of the Bolshevik takeover, mainly the provisional government continuing to drag the country through WWI. I might give it another listen, see if I feel the same way about it.

Same

Same and also there’s COVID :|

Give me a scruffy couchguy communist that wants to hang out and hug

A wild New Type of Guy appears

Maybe there’s a better metaphor but with lend-lease it’s like, okay so if you loan a forklift to the workers who have to do the heavy lifting, you’ll then try to take all the credit when they’re done with the heavy lifting?

Lemmy.world find out that Fascists lie all the time (even after they take power) challenge, difficulty: impossible, apparently

He even worked under Obama, if memory serves. There’s other footage of this idiot harassing two Russian envoys, a man and a woman, in which he follows them around asking the man if this is his “whorish” companion and spouting other nastiness.

Big reason why I get kind of unhinged over rhetorically defending China

Came here to post this

Badass song

Trying to come up with a word to describe what it’s doing. Strawmanjacketing?

Actually I just realized I was thinking of Right In Two

Regardless, you’ve just confirmed that you are disgusting. No, I do not take any thrills from watching the slaughter in Ukraine. You’ve told on yourself.

You’ve misunderstood that song. You’re not one of the angels on the sidelines, you’re no angel.
