Folks, the bourgeois, they’re no good. Everyone is saying it. All these workers— very handsome workers, we have the biggest, the best workers— they come up to me and say Comrade Trump there is a specter haunting Europe, and you know what? They’re right. These bourgeois are very nasty people— very very rude, and very unfair to the workers. They are stealing our surplus value, and no one is doing anything about it! The proletariat comes up to me every day and says, Comrade Trump will you lead the revolution? And I gotta turn to them and say, look, the instruments of capitalism will be used to bring about its destruction— believe me. The means of production, Obama never wanted to seize them. Well guess what? I’m seizing them. Landlords? They’re done for, folks. Everyone told me, they said Comrade Trump you won’t be the vanguard of the revolution— and they would laugh, the media laughed, the democrats laughed. Guess who’s laughing now?
This is very well done Trump-speak and strangely didn’t make me cringe. I guess the policies are more important than the way they are communicated
Folks, what we did in 1917–the Revolution we call it, with a capital R— it’s never been done before. So many big beautiful red flags, you couldn’t even— now that, folks, that’s a flag we stand up for, we don’t kneel for our terrific red flag— that you couldn’t even see the Winter Palace. You know the Mensheviks, and Renegade Kautsky, they said we couldn’t do it! They said, “Oh, Vlad, the material conditions are bad, we have to have a bourgeois republic to develop the forces of production.” You know what that means, right? Semi-feudal economy! Well, look at where we are now, Julius. We are going to develop the forces of production so fast it’ll make your head spin. We are going to do in a generation what it took them many, many years to do.
We’re bringing back bread, folks! And not just bread, but peace too— and you know, the Left-SRs, they’re very nasty to me about Brest-Litovsk, they say I make bad deals with the Germans, even though, nobody does treaties better than me, and the Germans are tough, but when they deal with me they know my reputation, they know I make the best deals, and you know, many people in Germany, they say they want Lenin too! Little pickelhaub man is scared, because he knows that we have built an incredible movement, and we are gonna have world revolution, the biggest revolution anyone has ever had. But, still, you know, the fake bourgeois media, the white guards, they say “He colluded with the Germans, he got on the train, did this did that”— and they’re just crazed. They are really crazed. Right. And we can’t just let that happen, because there’s nothing to do with Germany, nothing at all. Total witch hunt. Very unfair.

Noam Chomsky
Proof that it doesn’t matter how many times you denounce Communism, they’ll call you a dirty commie anyway.
Salami tactics, baby
Anticommunist ‘leftists’ never learn
To a lot of liberals, it doesn’t matter if you’re an inch to the left of the ‘acceptable discourse’ or 2 million miles, you’ll always be a tankie to them anyway
Chomsky’s been pretty fucking cool recently what with working closely with Vijay Prashad on a tonne of stuff. They’ve basically decided he’s as bad as all MLs now, especially because he does work with one.
I like how they don’t denounce him because he’s a possible sex pest but because he doesn’t like the state department skmetimes
They’re saying “tankies and right-wing grifters such as…” Donald Trump being the latter. They are calling Chomsky a “tankie” thought which is funny.
What if they’re calling Chomsky a right-wing grifter.
They would be correct
also calling someone who became president of the US a “grifter” is pretty funny
He used it as a platform to sell NFTs after, so it’s not entirely wrong
And don’t forget the BEANS
Most based thing he ever did.
Username checks out, why must you ruin our fun?
what if putin unleashes cthulhu upon ukraine? would you guys condemn that?
There’s something really interesting happening in their brain here!
They assume they’d get to react. They assume that they are some kind of ghostly observer that exists outside of the world and can just frictionlessly react to events as they happen, because that’s been their entire life and how they’ve always engaged with politics.
In reality, if one nuke goes off they all do. That’s what M.A.D. is all about. Asking “how would they react?” is detached from reality.
Positively turgid over the thought of a nuclear strike so they could make a bunch of
reddit posts about how they knew Putler was just as evil as they’d claimed all along.And somehow Putin is a communist?
Everyone knows that Russians are ethnically communist
ITT we see
users make r/worldnews fanficThey’ve been gaslighted to the point they were distracted by how much Trump removed the barriers and threw open the doors to these wars.
All the protective treaties to prevent another arms race were removed.
Funding for new nuke development with media paid to talk down the consequences of “tactical nukes”.
Sending Bolton to tell Putin no more peace.
But yeah he was a real Putin Puppet.
Professor Chomsky, welcome to the resistance

Total failure to understand what makes someone a communist, or cynical attempt to smear communists by associating them with bigots and white supremacists?
I’m just gonna assume for my own sanity that “tankies and grifters” means one or the other, and Cheong is definitely a grifter.
This is like those evangelical Christians fantasizing about the rapture happening and finally proving everyone wrong.
react to Putin becoming the next death, destroyer of worlds
Note, the former and only so far death, destroyer of world was a European scientist funded by US tax dollars
The biggest example of capitalist nepotism and corruption is a communist? A man that, if we lived in a true meritocracy, would be a complete nobody? A man who owns one of the most famous private capitalist business empires of the 80s?
Libs stop blaming the failures of capitalism on communism challenge (impossible)
Why would Putler use a nuke? Because he’s winning?
