I hate the quote "the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." I am positive I can demolish his house with his killdozer.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure I got yelled at the last time I posted this lol.
Hell yea, new tagline
this is way better than "they'll sell us the rope"
Ah, but is it still the Master's killdozer once you've done that?
unclear, but once you replace a couple parts it'll definitely be theseus' killdozer
It's because you are just poking at the metaphor without engaging with the actual idea.
The master's "tools" are methods of subjugation that are incompatible with liberation.
Saying that you are going to just use the master's killdozer to destroy the house is the same argumentative approach as liberals who see that comic of people standing on boxes to look over a fence and responding "they shouldn't be allowed to see the game without a ticket anyway".
Yeah like that

Isn't that exactly what Marxism is? Dialectics and the contradiction of capitalism that the proletariat are the ones who can perform material action upon reality but the social relation of bourgeois ownership of the MOP alienates the proletariat from doing that in earnest (revolution)
