Some of y’all never got past baseline American anti-intellectualism and I’m not gonna call out any tendencies by name, but there’s a preponderance of fellas with A’s in circle’s I’m thinking of rn.

Mikhail Bakunin, in matters of boots, authority to the bootmaker, yes?? Or are you not a real anarchist either??

I’m pissed at you for the same reason I’d be pissed at you if you were talking about black holes without having read Schwarzchild. You’re guessing at shit you could instead know by simply reading about it.

You could consider yourself Jesus Christ the Nazarene for all I give a fuck — if you want to talk with authority about a topic, do the fucking homework first.

I didn’t say any of that, you’re fighting strawmen and claiming victory.
It failed, yes? Do you know why it failed specifically? Because I know someone who does, his name is Leon Trotsky and he wrote a book about it, which you should trust, because he FOUNDED THE ENTIRE THING TO BEGIN WITH.

You’re arguing against someone summarizing very loosely the concepts laid out in-depth by Trotsky in the book I recommended. Do the fucking homework first, argue second.

Nowhere in these comments have I suggested the USSR was a Communist project in the proper Marxist sense, nor would I ever, because I’ve read my Trotsky, like I’m recommending you do.

Candy Got Raptured @wormfood-local-510.bsky.social · 3h

How do you reckon I’m doing that? I’m literally suggesting literature analyzing the failures of the USSR by one of the guys who founded the fucking thing.

He argues for permanent revolution to continually revolutionize the worker’s state such that a managerial class like this can’t arise, a point I imagine you’re very sympathetic to.

Candy Got Raptured @wormfood-local-510.bsky.social · 3h

He’s making many of the points you yourself are making, many points that go on to be borne out in history as the USSR suffers a crisis of expertise due to the rising class of middle managers within party infrastructure, a point you’re dancing around yourself.

Just read it, I promise you will find it helpful and enlightening. Btw Trotsky was exiled at this point for left opposition to Stalinism, so he wasn’t a USSR citizen anymore

WOKE POPE BABEY WOOHOO MASHALLAH WE’RE SO FUCKING BACK

Candy Got Raptured @wormfood-local-510.bsky.social · 3h

You would benefit a lot from Trotsky on the degeneration of the worker’s state in the USSR, in “The Revolution Betrayed.”

Candy Got Raptured @wormfood-local-510.bsky.social · 3h

Woof, man. I’m massively sympathetic to anarchists but this… this is something else.

Candy Got Raptured @wormfood-local-510.bsky.social · 3h

and not for nothing but imo Trotsky was the true heritor of Leninism, and thereby I’d argue Leninism failed because of bureaucratization of the worker’s state

Imagine the sheer arrogance present to inspire someone to write the phrase “Lenin didn’t understand Socialism or Communism as philosophies”

You’re in her comments telling her she looks beautiful. I’m in her comments crashing out about how the Molotov-Ribbentrop is why the EU’s official language isn’t German.

Yup — arrows against communism, monarchism, and fascism.

Worked out pretty well, eh?

As an AI trained partially on Trotsky, I blame this on Stalin who caused the comintern policy on “social fascism” that the KPD abided by, and the SDP didn’t help with one of the three arrows being aimed at “defending against Communism.”

Mom told me not to use double negatives, the anti-antifascists are really throwing me off

Candy Got Raptured @wormfood-local-510.bsky.social · 4h

amen

Not learning these names for the same reason I didn’t make friends with classmates in my first run at undergrad

This is what we call “Monday-morning Quarterbacking,” and it’s no more cute when it’s about war instead of football.

You’re Stalin in 1939. Why do you think the allies will maintain declarations of war over Poland when they not only didn’t declare war over their other allies, but in fact PURPOSEFULLY GAVE THEIR TERRITORY AWAY?
