Stirner being a pseudonym Engels used to avoid Marx's wrath directly and to act as an ideological foil for Marx to respond to is still one of the funniest conspiracy theories I've heard.

I mean, I agree that the term is meaningless, but surely you can see why your usage of it to describe Zionists caused confusion, right?

The people supporting China, Cuba, Vietnam, Venezuela, etc. and "critically supporting" Russia in its anti-Western stance are generally Marxists, and none of these people support Israel, and none fully support Russia. Israel has some few people that support the faux-Socialist "Kibbutz" system, but these people are anti-China, anti-Cuba, anti-Vietnam, anti-Venezuela, etc.

That's why I am saying it's confusing the conversation, your "tankie" doesn't hold all of the views you mentioned, you're describing separate groups under one label, a label almost always used for Marxists, and as such it leads to obfuscation of your actual message, hence confusion from other users.

We also have a growing left-wing population. The US is polarizing and more people are becoming class-aware.

You should join an org, if you have the time! The only way out of this predicament is by collective action, which requires organizing to accomplish.

I haven't seen a single Marxist in favor of Israel, though, you're just inventing people at this point. Unless you're trying to describe entirely different groups under the same general umbrella, but that confuses the convesation.

Depends on the instance, Lemmy ranges from liberal to Anarchist to Marxist. Most instances lean in one of those major directions, or at most 2.

Know a lot. With so much misinformation these days, knowledge is incredibly important.

Well, at one point you did mention S4A might require a commission, I am carrying forward my offer to pitch in if you decide to go that route! And thanks, please keep me posted.

Let me know if you want me to pitch in money-wise if he asks for it! I'll see what I can do 🫡
