    exceptions are where peasants, workers, and revolutionary bourgeois overthrew colonially controlled states, also Russia and China are prominent exceptions that warrant their own histories separately and together

    STFU, Tankie. China and Russia are two of some the most corrupt kleptocratic oligarchic nations on earth. The poor have literally no rights in those countries and are used as an expendable resource by the powerful families.

      In what way am I a Tankie? What i meant was, that given the exclusive cases, the size of their economies and their special histories, i believe they are exceptions to your definition.

      I am not a Tankie, I am not a Marxist-Leninist. I can’t imagine what would possess someone into believing it is appropriate to reply “STFU <derogatory term I am not>” to a good-faith response to your comment on a thread about the truthfulness of Marx.

      I am a Marxist, and thought it would be fun to interrogate your views on this public forum. But I believe you are on some shit

      How could I reply to you in a way that is both up front about my own ideas but also discussing your ideas, so that I don’t have to be treated like some disgusting pest? Be real

        Tankies support the autocratic regimes like China and the USSR, the eastern block so to speak, and by claiming to be a Marxist while also claiming that China is communist in anything other than name you have aligned yourself with and defended their system of corruption. I could be convinced you’re just somehow mistaken but I highly doubt you’re here in “good faith”.
