It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Really nailing the condescending aristocrat way of thought. Proles have no minds of their own, so if Marx "lost" a debate they would all abandon marxist communism in favour of anarchists because that's what the people who think decided.

Also Marx would have never lost a debate

Note: I have no idea what debate this is referring to

[–] [email protected] 35 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You can't lose if you never stop lmao

marx-guns-blazing GET BACK HERE, MOTHERFUCKER!!!! THIS DEBATE ISNT OVER!!!!

*actual quote from the Hague Congress in 1872

very great man of history too. Bakunin was such a powerful high level debatelord that surely he would have pushed the tides in his favor!

[–] [email protected] 103 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (3 children)

Bakunin also thought that the American north was oppressing the south by forcing them back into the union

Dude was dumb as hell and that isn't sectarianism. Kropotkin, from what I've read, has not had any absurd takes like this.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 8 months ago

don't look up "Bakunin jews"

[–] [email protected] 52 points 8 months ago (8 children)

Damn that is definitely one of the worst takes of all time and almost indistinguishable from what a dumbfuck chud would say today.

Meanwhile, Marx wrote a letter to Lincoln encouraging him to keep fighting to end slavery.

Kropotkin called on anarchists to take sides on WWI against "German aggression". Fortunately most anarchists at the time realized that was dumb as hell and it ruined his reputation for a good while. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifesto_of_the_Sixteen

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Guy probably had brainworms about the Napoleonic wars. Still, not nearly as absurd as bakunins takes, kropotkins reasoning did have a grain of truth to it in that the Weimar Republic was highly destabilized and was a toss up for the communists and fascists early on

The world might be very different is Musk had made it to Mars on time and enabled the billionaire faction to die in space.

Bakunin's views on the Jewish Question are what really brought Musk on board

Elon Musk, one of the great minds of leftist theory

That has to be one of the silliest quotes of all time and if he had said that in front of Marx he would've been laughed into hell.

Elon Musk is incredibly stupid, holy shit

[–] [email protected] 44 points 8 months ago

Musk unironically identifying as an ancap would be so fucking funny. Vibes based political order.

Elon was advanced on the divorce guy pipeline before he even got divorced.

Got real into sports cars, got hair plugs, started ranting about wokeness, made some terrible purchases out of spite, got really into swords/guns, now he's a spiraling anti-semitic conspiracy theorist

It's quite astonishing how they all follow the same path. Real NPC hours.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 8 months ago (1 children)

real into sports cars

I'm divorced? cri

I'm sorry you had to find out this way juche-tears

This man found ways to be stupid never before thought possible.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 8 months ago

time for elon's funny-clown-hammer arc

oh joy

lmao Musk becoming a mutualist or something is going to be great discourse. Can't wait until mainstream news has to teach everybody the difference between egoism and syndicalism when describing the richest man on Earth

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Somebody with Twitter blue needs to start spamming him with Stirner memes. It would be so fucking on point for hellworld’s richest man to become obsessed with a fictional person Engels created to troll Marx.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (4 children)

look, even the richest billionaire in existence needs to eat and has to shop at the supermarket of ideology

Hmm, weird. Makes me think there may be an actual real life example of Anarchists being incredibly silly, totally failing, then having soviets come in to pick up the pieces. Maybe in Munich in 1919?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago

Resist... temptation... to do... sectarianism!!!
