It's candy cause it's a left-aesthetic that isn't demonized by their media apparatuses (because it's pro-American). The radlibs wanna be left, but they have been legitimately brainwashed by American media and cannot break from it

    The ancom voice was by far the loudest voice on the sub. r/moretankiechapo and r/genzedong were where I really started to learn about theory, and eventually started actually reading someone other than Murry Bookchin or Noam Chomsky.
