It is as though the capitalists intuitively understand dialectical materialism and its inherent graduality when it comes to building up movements.

Oh, absolutely. In February-March 2022 the only "allowed" voices critical of the US empire and its actions were absolute chuds or nutjobs like Russell Brand. I remember those in liberal places used to gang up on folks who were skeptical of the narrative BECAUSE they quoted Brand, of all people. Even a lot of well-meaning people fell into that trap.

You know what the funniest part is?

That's the smallest size :D (I'm kidding, but hey - to each according to their need)

Rest in peace, knowing that the zionazis will know no rest and no peace.

It's only surprise to those who constantly forget or ignore the overall philosophy of this conflict - weakening Russia by using a disposable proxy; war for war's sake, not for victory. Weapons cost something, cannon fodder is cheap given there's a puppet regime that will supply it 24/7.

“Lib purity” is not being against a guy who’s hard right?

No. "Lib purity" is dismissing all information from a source you disagree with, even if some information coming from them is factual and truthful, specifically because they're a chud. I stress again - we are against the guy, overall. But just because HE said something does not make that something untruthful. We CAN engage with the information critically. We don't live in a world where every source is a ML and we can just consume information without fear of it being compromised. It is no reason to not post good bits. And by the way, I watched the video - there is nothing reactionary in it. If there was - I'm sure there would have been a disclaimer.

Imagine canning Lenin because he supposedly had some socially conservative takes.

We did not ignore completely what you were saying, we addressed your issue with not posting Berletic's takes on Ukraine and explained why this sort of thing is dogmatic.

The New Atlas states that some reactionary military government is good actually

Then no one is going to post that. We're only posting that we deem useful. In any case, most people on this instance are capable of dissecting reactionary bullshit. And, you should not take anyone's word uncritically, even if it's coming from Marxists - no one knows everything, everyone can make mistakes.

if you’re just going to completely ignore everything I’m saying

Interesting. Multiple people explained it succinctly, but it is us ignoring you and not the other way around. At the very least address the counterpoints presented to you.

Do not come

Disclaimers are good and useful, not posting anything because chud is dogmatic and unhelpful.

We're not posting THAT. No one in their right mind would post shit like this, except maybe in "Shit Reactionaries Say".

As for this whole argument... It is incredibly dogmatic (as in "lib purity/moralism") and unhelpful. I do not give a damn about what this guy's chud takes on vaccines are, we're not posting his videos to promote his channel. I for once care about primarily two things: 1) "what effect does a specific article or piece of work have on the people, what sort of message is it trying to propagate?" and 2) "Is it in any way useful for the revolutionary cause?"

If answers to both of these questions satisfy me, I'm probably going to be fine with it. And I don't think MLs should be engaging in this sort of ultra-left purity shit. Information is information, even if a chud presented it. It's everybody's job to critically assess it.

And, since it's impolite to say bad things about dead people, there's no "share a cauldron with Kissinger"

Very good post. I saved this for later, when I write my own works on the issue - it'll come in handy. Thank you
