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?

Tankie

Noam Chomsky

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 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.

ITT we see users make r/worldnews fanfic

They'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

tankies

Ian Miles Chong

Total failure to understand what makes someone a communist, or cynical attempt to smear communists by associating them with bigots and white supremacists?

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?

Link because I'm only marginally a lib

I'm pretty sure Chomsky was born during the era of primitive communism.

This person is incredibly dim.

Posts that make me rub my eyes in exasperation.

Is this person trying to piss off literally everyone

Evidently, for this internet rando, Trump isn’t right-wing enough. That’s something important to note because in the Fediverse sooooo many people lazily throw the “tankie” word around in posts and threads. “So-and-so is a tankie,” and “that instance is run by tankies “ yadda yadda. Left wingers are much more numerous in their fantasy than reality because the right-wingers far outnumber the leftists and the leftists are scary to them. This is why they try to poo-poo us any chance they get in the fediverse. Only place you’ll find criticism of their wanton ignorance is right here.

I'd probably react like this

TANKIE CHOMSKY

Lumping together Ian Miles Chungus and Noam Chomsky is crazy

Comrade Trump

These are the people that think political streamers are intelligent after they repeatedly show how little they know. It's safe to just ignore them because in thirty years they'll be the new crop of disgruntled elders watching OAN and whining about the kids all being non-binary.
