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

owning a fancy car = you hate the poors

owning multiple mansions, palaces, generational fortune, having millions to even "donate" = lover of the poors

doubt Lenin actually had a car, probably just the vehicle they used to transport government officials lol.

the Soviet government passed one of its first acts ever, with the decree of 3 May 1918 that expropriated about 2,500 cars from the bourgeois members of society.

To give an historical perspective, this predates the October Revolution by about six months

lol

That first link is infuriating.

He then began to enjoy the good life just like the Tsars as illustrated by this photo taken at the May Day Red Army Parade in Moscow 1918!

Dude was a well documented workaholic to the detriment of his own health because of his commitment to the Revolution, but yeah this one photo of him being driven in a May Day parade proves that he just wanted to take toys from rich people and live it up.

They seem to think socialism is a poverty cult

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They only think about socialism in bad faith so its not so much about their honest belief about what socialism is/should be, but that if they believe X they can strawman and slander socialist leaders like Lenin as hypocritical and grifters.

If you're poor, socialism doesn't work because it makes you poor! If you're rich, you're a phony champagne socialist who's betrayed the people!
