I really don't get the joke. I'm not sore or anything there's plenty to poke fun at about us, but what exactly is the premise of this joke?

M-Ls don't read theory? Is there a branch of economic thought that reads theory more?

Is it important whether part of the originating theory is "simply wrong"? Marxism isn't the exegesis of religious texts, it's a dynamic practice, a lens that is constantly updated with new additions and vigorous debate.

Are people who claim to be Marxist-Leninists not actually Marxist-Leninists?

IDK honestly this just reads more like what a lib assumes MLs must be like, because they can't fathom people might actually genuinely believe we need to liquidate the ownership class so we must all be posturing.

I'm assuming that this is poking fun at radlibs cosplaying as marxists while only advocating mild reforms in actuality (Jacobin etc.) I doubt Weinersmith knows any actual ML's.

The fact people here are acting like this is an attack on actual MLs and not recognizing it as shitting on radlibs who call themselves communist is weird, it seems pretty clear cut.

Copy + Replace "ML" with "Internet Anarchist".

The other day I saw an "anti-authoritarian" internet anarchist shitting on trade unions in response to a recent wage increase for Ben and Jerry's workers. It's like these folks got an addiction to being useful idiots.

Is this a joke?
