It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Those videos keep fucking appearing on my recommended section despite having clicked "Don't recommend channel" at least three times now.

nobody understands just how oversimplified it is (super fucking simplified) and just how weirdly he interprets his sources sometimes.

Left unity has always existed in real communist/anti-imperialist revolutions. Not every revolutionary was a bleeding heart Marxist, nor every anti-imperialist revolution. One example is Suharto of Indonesia. In any case it is misleading to present Marxism as a dogmatic procedure for revolution in each country. Most revolutions were primarily nationalist and anti imperialist, it just so happens that Marxism is the most useful and popular theoretical framework for such a movement.

On the other hand, utopian and ideal thought is often counter revolutionary. Shutting that down isn’t LeFtIsT iNfIgHtInG, it is necessary for a sustained revolution.

All mortal men are sinners compared with the Christian god which is perfect. No concrete thing can be made ideal. For this reason idealist thought is toxic to any real movement, even one which is progressive. It cannot allow the “birthmarks” of capitalism which Marx wrote about in his critique of the Gotha program. Any progressive movement that allows for idealist thinking is doomed to fail and exposes itself to the bourgeois elements that are eager to return to power.
