    They might as well of just posted “she was no angel”

    Instead they hid behind the fig leaf of being the only one tbinking about building a left movement. Which obviously can only be done by siding with the cops against a 13 year old girl. Glad they’re iut their doing the hard thinking about how to build movements for us

        Oh you’re right! I forgot about them! They always got caught up arguing from the standpoint of “optics” and “movement building” but only when it came to using the word cracker and quoting Stalin’s objectively correct quote about social democracy

          I’d been trying to remember where I remembered user MarxMadness from…

          They always got caught up arguing from the standpoint of “optics” and “movement building” but

          …oh right, the DNC discourse, running more apologetics for “protest marshals” facilitating cops’ jobs.

        Oddly enough people with “Marx” in their usernames tend to be this sort of chauvinist social-democrat tendency. It’s like they know they have lib tendencies and try to preempt it by putting the one unquestionable communist in their name to shield themselves

            When shit hits the fan people will grant legitimacy and favor to whoever is actually getting their hands dirty and who clearly want to win by any means.

            The Bolsheviks were robbing trains and kidnapping politicians. When shit hit the fan everyone flocked to them, not the liberal optics Mensheviks and other socialist parties.

            If the Bolsheviks had caved and listened to these so-called “Marxists” then they would just be another delegitimized neutered party like the rest. To the extent they cared about “optics” and PR, they made it clear they were fully in opposition to all bourgeois parties of the state and highlighted their differences.
