  • Yes, Marx definitely wrote a lot about “western chauvinism.” Perhaps you mean “social chauvinism?” Because it’s definitely very confusing language for the under studied. Perhaps you should pick up some German language.

    Again, I just can’t help but be struck by the stark chasm between this liturgical internet “leftism,” which seems confused between the principals of pragmatic worker liberation, versus the fantasy that Lenin’s autocracy ever achieved anything noteworthy. But I guess populist fan service gets engagement, so who cares about results, right?


  • I don’t see it as left punching as much as calling out campists and .ml mods. I see it as holding up actual leftist values rather than forming a political philosophy around relitigating the cold war. I have never defended Israel, I have called out the issue with religious fundamentalism in this conflict. I have and will continue to call Israel an apartheid state.

    Like I said, MLs literally cannot imagine the existence of political theory after 1924.

    Also, my account is at least 5% femboy worship. At least do your homework.
















  • Leftist unity, but only for the authoritarian left. Hexbears either intentionally ignore or are not aware of the academic case for democratic socialism or other moderate/libertarian left ideas. You just redefine them as liberalism because actually acknowledging that these ideas might liberate workers faster than the often failed journey through autocracy, is very inconvenient for campism.



  • You get to a point where basic needs and standard luxuries don’t move the needle and all the things you can’t afford are just exponentially more expensive. This phase literally never ends. There are things Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk desire that they cannot afford. But even if you are making like 200k or so, “normal” living cost quickly become trivial, and it becomes about how much you have for crazy vacations and home upgrades. But you can be perfectly happy “just” getting a high end item and not a super lux item if you are a well adjusted person
