    I have said from the very beginning that this was an op to tie “communism” to the far-right discourse. I literally predicted that it would come up in mainstream press when the moment comes. Well, guess what? Israel is in trouble so this piece needs to come out. So far everything tracks.

        It is incoherent right wing bullshit being funded by certain people who also helped with networking and connecting them with the right people.

        Most low-level intelligence assets don’t even know who or which entity they’re working for. They get paid to do a job by their handler and that’s about it.

        How so? Capitalism has a long history of co-opting socialist ideas and associating them with right wing extremists.

          I mean, we live in an incoherent time, which can make incoherent ideas like MAGA Communism become relevant. Haz and Hinkle are probably supported by a LaRouchite group (is that itself an op?), but are they funded by some elites to tarnish communism with conservatism? I’m open to that possibility if there was concrete evidence to suggest it

            Fair enough. I’m of the opinion that it “feels” like an op, but I agree that without concrete evidence it is just speculation.

            The fact that these nobodies with their completely incoherent and contradictory ideology is getting major press does point to something going on. Though whether it is deliberate obfuscation of socialist ideas or is just the media wanting a story that will generate ad revenue is still up in the air.

      A Discord server – essentially a chat room – called “IGG MECHA-TANKIES”, linked to Al-Din’s show Infrared, has about 5,000 members and offers some insight into the movement’s internal dynamics.

      This seems bad that they’re calling themselves tankies

    First off funny-clown-hammer warning. I thought I’d only get a double-scoop of shit but ended up with an extra serving of pedophilia beastiality.

    Second off this was a waste of time actually reading this to the end. Don’t bother and save your time with this abbreviated version: They suck. End of story.

    If there was some way to ensure every male upon coming of age 1) got laid, 2) got punched in the face really hard, i feel like a lot of this kind of nonsense could be avoided
