I apparently skipped level ??? and went straight to believing the Black Book is fascist propaganda. I didn’t realize I was supposed to stan Pol Pot first!

    The Khmer Rouge were defended by the US and got up to $215 million in weapons from them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_United_States_support_for_the_Khmer_Rouge

    Pro tip if you're gonna strawman an entire ideology don't tell people thinking landlords should get the wall is one of the most extreme beliefs that group has, you're gonna get the not insane 70% of the population on that side immediately.

    We need a "What level of liberal are you?" with very similar framing. First step can be "blames everything that goes wrong in capitalism on Putler and Chinese bots."

    When was the last time che shirts were a thing? I swear I've seen more conservatives making fun of che shirts than I have actual unironic che shirts.

    Anyways, The last time I smiled was on August 19th, 1991. I wear a dirty ushanka at all times, do not shave, and only take cold sponge baths because hot running water is bourgeoisie decadence. Every day at exactly noon I have the same meal of an expired Maoist MRE I store in a pit covered in old issues of a revolutionary newspaper. I sleep in a bed made of flags from every failed revolution so that they are never forgotten. In the evenings I stare at a picture of vodka by candlelight, but I do not allow myself to drink because there is nothing to celebrate. Every local org has banned me after I attempted to split it by assassinating the leadership. There is no plumbing in my house I shit in a brass bucket with a picture of Gonzalo and Deng french kissing in the bottom of it. My house is actually an overturned T34 in an abandoned junkyard in Wisconsin. I have a single friend in this world and it is a tapeworm named Bordiga that I met after ingesting spoiled borscht on 9/11 in the ruins of building 7 (I blew it up after finding that a nominally leftist NGO inside of it wasn’t sufficiently anti-imperialist, the attacks on the world trade center were a perfect revolutionary moment for me to enact direct praxis against liberalism). My source of income is various MLM schemes in the former soviet bloc that have been running for so long no one remembers who I am, they just keep sending money. I have not paid taxes since McGovern lost the Democratic nomination for president and my faith in electoralism died more brutally than my childhood dog after it got into an entire jar of tylenol. I own 29 fully automatic rusted kalashnikovs and three crates of ammunition entirely incompatible with them or any other firearms I own. My double PHD in marxist economics and 18th century Swiss philosophy (required to understand Engels) sits over the fireplace of my home, my fireplace is a salvaged drum from a 1950s washing machine that was recalled for locking children inside of it. I chose that washing machine model on purpose because I am anti-natalist. During the latest BLM protests I firebombed a Nikes outlet in the middle of a peaceful candlelit vigil. William F Buckley and I wrote hatemail to one another for 47 years until my final letter gave him an aneurysm. The only water I drink is from puddles. George Lucas and I dropped acid together during an MKULTRA southern baptist summer camp and he went on to write the movie Willow about our time together. The best way to test whether an electrical wire is live is to drool on it and shrimp salad is racist. You can make an IED out of potassium and the instructions are online thanks to Timothy McVey, who was actually a committed antifascist communist slandered by the deep state as part of operation condor. Every time a liberal files a restraining order against me, I carve a mark into the wall. I am running out of walls. When Amerika finally collapses I will be ready to lead the revolution. I am very smart and people like being around me.

    I think this is a bit. The 1932 famine/Holodomor line is too on the nose, and a couple of others don't sound particularly good faith.

    They think orthodox marxism is just a process of ignoring more and more things. Literally what liberal ideology is built on.

    And the idea seems to be that "tankies" are bad because of a series of unconnected Disrespectful statements theyve made about vintage history and geopolitics that have nothing to do with us. No insight to the philosophy just shit that'd make your grandma gasp at the dinner table. So simplistic.

    Tankie is a 1950s britbong insult made up by butthurt do-nothings. Dont dignify it anymore, reject it. Dont make it real

    Tankie is when you are correct, and the more correct you are the more tankie it is

    I don't know about that Khmer Rouge part though. I guess that's why it's level ???

    Somewhere between 150 and Final; wherever believing that John Brown didn't kill enough slavers, and that Black subjects-of-empire need to form our own nation to pursue self-determination unimpeded by Amerikan settlerdom is.
