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

This is them trying to say they aren't a left anti-communist. Followed by this for good measure:

I already posted another dunk from this same thread, but this person is a goldmine of pretentious and unintentionally hilarious takes michael-laugh

Actually line struggle and criticisms of my position are the same as gatekeeping 🤓🤓

My main criticism with actual communist states is their authoritarianism

Authoritarian against who, Cheezyweezle? Authoritarian against who?

There aren't any states that have successfully fully implemented a socialist society today

No shit, considering no state has EVER done that. That's a ridiculous standard to hold a state to.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

fully implemented

what a convenient little clause!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

As you can see, my young apprentice, your friends have failed. Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL socialism!

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago

When you think that communism is a state of affairs to be established, and not a process

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah but by that metric, no state has ever successfully implemented a capitalist society either, but i guess that doesnt matter, since capitalism is human nature or some shit.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In what way? Like by ancap standards?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah. in spite of capitalists' best efforts, people still make friends. they fall in love. they help each other. they spend time out of their day NOT thinking about creating profit for shareholders.

capitalism is only half-built, in spite of centuries of concentrated effort.

They're complaining about gatekeeping when we just had a couple of weeks of their liberal buddies come in here and Nazi up the place so bad, we had to go back to gatekeeping?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s a liberal favorite. But what about the rights of the fascists? Will the fascists be allowed to spread their hate speech? Will the fascists be allowed to brutalize minorities? Will the fascists have their rights? Please show some consideration for the fascists

fuck infighting, mao would want me to fistfight this fucker

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Let's be real, you'd probably be the one holding Mao back from fist fighting this fucker if he was still around.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Anything less is liberalism

"We stand for active ideological struggle because it is the weapon for ensuring unity within the Party and the revolutionary organizations in the interest of our fight. Every Communist and revolutionary should take up this weapon."

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't like to dunk on people who come here in good faith...but this is deeply unserious.

He doesn't expect a Society in the lower stage of Socialism to ever be achieved, but he expects the abolition of class, which happens only in the higher stage.

“For the most part I actually support even communist states, but my main criticism with actual communist states is their authoritarianism, made easy by the inherent totalitarianism of communism”

Damn two big ass meaningless words they were feeling themselves with this one. They thought they were about to blow your ass away by revealing that “inherent totalitarianism”. bet you didn’t think of that one you Tankie swine!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know, they really got me.

They really showed me for daring to call them a left anti-communist

See, you're causing leftist infighting by demanding the leftists actually be on the left. If you were a real leftist you would allow right-wingers into your leftist group, like a smart person.
