lol yeah should've just sent a taxi and called it a day
That's right, the fact that there are literal fascists running around isn't the problem, the real issue is that it's validating what Russia has been saying. 🙃
And a relevant passage from This Soviet World by Anna Louise Strong
if we're being real I doubt it, but I still chuckled at the meme :)
In practical terms I agree, in terms of branding libs are still running around saying that democrats are the party of least harm.
It really is incredible how the narrative just flipped on a dime in the past month, and libs don't even bat an eye.

I think it's basically making fun of marxists.org having garish UX
Yeah that's the most depressing aspect of the whole thing.
Maybe the best approach is to just dissect this stuff when it gets posted and explain why the takes are bad. Maybe can start aggregating common tropes and addressing them on prolewiki or something so we can just link to an existing article when something comes up repeatedly. I think it's particularly important to deal with people who claim to have a Marxist position and argue in bad faith because they ultimately end up driving people away. It has to be clear that they don't speak for us, and why we disagree with their position.
not if you live under oppressive regimes like the US
