  • I don’t need to provide an alternative to point out that something is bad. I don’t need to follow the hyper-liberal norms and practices that you’re so fond of on sites like reddit, it simply is not a requirement.

    It’s a strange twist of logic you have that no one can have an viewpoint counter to yours without providing you an alternative to your liking. Grow the fuck up and learn how to be critical of news sources, or at least how to find sources critical of them. If you’re so good at reading and research and understanding it really should not be an obstacle for you.

    You come into this thread high and mighty about your (self-perceived) knowledge and wisdom only to spout ignorant nonesense in reply after reply and then cry when people call you out on it. Intellectually, you are a coward; emotionally, you are a child.

    Here’s my counter tl;dr for your reddit-brain: Get fucked.


  • There’s not a lot of reason to read Capital unless you’re academically interested in all of the details therein; there are good summaries and explanations of that work that are less cumbersome and more relevant to our current time. I’m not saying people shouldn’t read it, just that it’s pretty dense and not really something that should be considered absolutely mandatory for understanding.

    Much of what Lenin wrote, however, is a different story. State and Revolution, for example, is short and easy to read and understand. Even someone who has trouble reading could finish it an afternoon, it’s like 100 pages. Just reading 10-15 pages a day - which should be trivially easy - will have it finished in no time. It’s hard to believe someone couldn’t get through a dozen pages of it at a time unless they’re very lazy.




  • They’re projecting. They’re imaging the petty things they’d like to ban to control and humiliate their political opponents and then applying that same deranged behavior to people of an entirely different culture.

    In lib world, they would definitely arrest huge swaths of the poeple daily (or at least try to) for frivolous bullshit which is, for some reason, of huge importance to them. The difference is that they think they could actually be effective in doing so and that those primitive Chinese people are just too inherently inept and weak to achieve the desired result.
