There's nothing wrong with reading Marx and Engels. They are the fathers of socialism. What isn't cool is defending authoritarian practices and genocide. I don't give a fuck if someone was too mentally weak to understand the garbage they were reading that led them to defend Mao and Stalin. They're a tankie. Not my problem that they're too stupid to know that their ideology is terrible. And leaving the door open for fascists to turn against the programming? Nah. It's 2023. People have made their choice.
No, they are not.
Good job peddling ableism there... do tell - what kind of leftist are you again?
Were you fed the ideology you hold onto now since birth?
MODERN socialism. Jeez. Didn't know I was being graded here.
And yes, I don't give a fuck if someone was mentally weak enough to believe garbage. Believing garbage makes you kind of a garbage person. I don't need to educate anyone to feel good about myself. They need to read more effectively.
And no, I wasn't fed any ideology that I've blindly clung to since birth. I came to the conclusion that socialism is the most moral political philosophy by reading and observing current events and macro trends in finance, employment, and technology.
What kind of leftist am I? A non-pretentious one that doesn't think I alone am responsible for educating tankies on how to be less authoritarian. They know damn well what their beliefs entail.
There's nothing "modern" about socialism.
Considering how quick you are to grade others I assumed your perfect "non-mentally weak leftism" would pass scrutiny without a hitch. Are you trying to tell me that's not the case?
Sooo... I take it you didn't know? And don't tell me that's just a USian problem - it's not going much better out here in the extraction zones.
And while we're on the subject of reading... perhaps you should follow your own advice - your entitled edgelord leftist schtick means less than nothing to the people whose liberation the left purports to be all about in the first place.
