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 [email protected]

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

I wonder whats Stalin's take on how to deal with people with "conservative values"

In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.

there's no such thing as the segregation of economic and social values because of the relationship between base and superstructure

People who share our "base" economic ideals but do not share our "superstructural" social ideals are basically admitting that they want a reactionary superstructure that modifies the economic base. Ergo, they do not share our economic values either, they are merely pretending to. If society is downstream from economics, then social values are downstream from economic values. Racism came about to justify colonialism and slavery, but racism remained in place even after the classical forms of colonialism and chattel slavery died, and were replaced by neocolonialism and prison slavery. The superstructure of racism remaining in place meant that the economic base of slavery and colonialism could never come to a proper end, but merely continued in a new form.
