- I live in the city. I help the poor. I have jobs so I’m not “peasant class” but I’ve been there and I’ve been homeless. Libs call me a “Tankie” and I respect my ML comrades, they’re us, I even like Lenin but I’m a Marxist. Not an ML. Want a reason why? Ok. Noam’l tell ya. youtu.be/l_jRd59qy0A?...

- When I say “Marx was right” I’m not just saying it to chuds and libs.
- I've been called tankie & cia on the same thread
- 🤣 ahahaha! We live in the worst simulation.
- I've always felt a discomfort about Lenin and those who overlook the rightwing tendencies inherent in Leninism.
- You're acting like a Christian or something 🤣
- I went to catholic school. 🤣
- "That's true across the board", and he earlier mentioned Maoist China specifically, but he then hand-waves over it because the thing he's talking about doesn't apply to China (or really anywhere but the Soviet Union).
- I mean, Mao started as a Marxist but ya know. He morphed.
- I'm more of a Micheal perenti fan. I usually self identify as tankie. I wear it as a. Badge of honor
- We are all peasant class unless we are multimillionaires!
- When I feed the poor they call me a saint. When I ask why they are poor they call me a communist.
- They call all Marxists “tankies”, and I don’t think they know or care about the distinction.
- It’s an interesting perspective from a anti left communist.
- Even tho Norm was alive back then(joke) did he forget that Karl himself was a Prussian Jewish peasant and his experience is just the liberal reaction of getting exploited?
