Please educate yourselves and read the manifesto
So… Wait. Does that mean capitalism is socialism too? /s in case anyone needs it
Essentially that the mechanisms creating billionaires in China, (state run capitalism), is a part of a calculated process of socialism.
Oh, I understand the argument. It wasn’t that I needed help to grasp it.
I just think the idea that the oligarchs of modern China have carefully analyzed socialism, and determined after their analysis that accumulating billions of dollars to themselves as part of a calculated process which will eventually result in doing away with their own wealth and power and handing it over to the working class when full socialism is achieved, is so asinine that I felt safe simply responding to it by showing Samuel Johnson giving a look to the camera like he’s just seen the dumbest shit he’s ever heard of.
He’s the epitome of “lefties” slactivism, only knowledge of other country is via propaganda press, only knowledge of the ideology is theory, only action of the theory is shitposting on the internet.
In fact he isn’t even qualified as “leftist” as much as he likes to claim.

An important addition to this point (not unique to him, most tankies do this) is the deliberately lazy epistemology. In a country that doesn’t have a real free press, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence (of any given thing). They don’t just not accept this, they judge evil capitalist countries based one on the clear vision that a chaotic (and deeply flawed) free press provides, and judge “socialist” countries based on their propaganda.
No no guys, i promise after 3,000 more years of a capitalist totalitarian dictatorship, we will finally transition to real luxury space gay communism!!!
Read theory, shitlib. /s
Just as soon as they’re done installing suicide nets on every business, they’ll start to root out the rampant capitalism that drives the unbearable work environments that have people jumping off of their workplaces
Neoliberalism is actually praxis as it creates more billionaires /s
There are unironically some Marxists who think this. Advance late stage capitalism to increase its natural tensions and bring about revolution. Nonsense like this is the direct result of the quasi-apocalyptic (stagist) ideas embedded in Marxism.
Accelerationism. Literally everybody but them understands this is a fucking stupid idea.
This even happens every US election season, a lot of them think the worse candidate will bring on the glorious revolution™! and finally bring them a communist utopia. Never happens, because they do nothing to even advance their own cause lmao.
