I wish I'd saved it, but I've legit seen tankies argue that we'd be better off if the Confederates had won the American Civil War (the line of thinking was that conditions would have been so bad with slavery continued that a popular/Marxist revolution would have come about in those states by now vs. capitalism continuing).

Accelerationists are dreaming of a survivor fantasy, where they, and their brand come out on top

With literally zero infrastructure or organizational capabilities.

They have absolutely no ground game, and just expect to throw a fist in the air and say “rise up comrades, who’s with me!?”, and then go full on surprised Pikachu when nobody takes them up on that offer.

These people need therapy and mood stabilizers.

Ah yes. Support Hitler because the Jews would become communist after they truly understand the perils of capitalism.

Typical mindset of revolutionaries. If they can't flip a switch and everything is 100% as they imagine immediately, they don't want it, and will actively fight against partial progress.

That's the same thing they are saying about Donald, so their dimwitted ideas are at least consistent on that level.

I got banned from a communist sub on shid-it on the basis of "anticommunism" for calling people who support Putin's Russia "as traitors to everything communist"

So it wasn't really a communist sub then, was it?

I've literally been banned on the most auth-left lemmy instance for saying I don't want trump to win

If it makes you feel any better it’s like 70% Russians.

I was a pariah on HB because I called them insane
