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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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

"The Nazis did horrible things, here is why that means Russia is bad"
what the fuck? lol. Will he resign? of course not.
Stalin shouldn't have stopped at Berlin.
I'm starting to think Stalin was too restrained in hist treatment of Nazis and that is a wild thing to think.
Should have hunted every last one of them down like
Letting a single one of them get to  or  was a mistake
thinking about that (misattributed?) quote,
This is a pretty uninformed take of mine but I feel like post WW2 USSR consistently underestimated how ruthless and barbaric the capitalist West could be.
Pretty sure people like Stalin, Zhukov, and Beria all predicted exactly this. In fact Lenin and Marx wrote about it a lot too.
It’s not correct to say that “Critical theory” descends from Marxism but like, it does.
What is critical theory?
It’s pretty vaguely defined but in a nutshell it’s when some mix of Marxism, psychoanalysis, and Hegelian philosophy of ideals is used to investigate society and culture with critical eye to power structures and how power structures can be very hidden and unconscious.
Sorry but last question. You say:
What are you saying they predicted?
I think this is 100% true. And that's very important to remember for the future.
I agree 100%. It consistently seems like people who aren't part of the high level machinery of capitalism just cannot imagine how grotesquely violent and horrible Capitalists are. They keep underestimating how utterly ruthless and evil capitalists will be to scrape the slightest advantage.
