Someone seems to have vandalised his wiki. "Extreme communist"
I like how simply calling him a communist is not enough, they need to call him an "extreme" communist to make extra sure that people think twice before supporting him.
In reality he's more like a Mamdani Democrat that sometimes quotes Mao to make his democratic socialism appear more radical than it actually is, but obviously that is lost on all the 5-year-olds.
Extreme communist implies there is a moderate communist.
"We need proletarian revolution, but we should have a referendum on it first"
soon enough hes gonna be labeled as "extreme super duper communist" when america goes even more right wing then they currently are now
Everyone from .ml, grad and hexbear must be so jealous that he got the coveted title of Extreme Communist before them.
And then he is not even that extreme, so it's watering down the title.
/J
if hes extreme what am i? lmao
How does Hasan Piker get the title communist?
Has he even ever advocated for a socialist revolution?
Crazy thing is that's not even in the Wikipedia article. Assuming it's an AI summary, the AI just added that.
