i promise you it’s not rare, it’s an ongoing phenomena. i literally just had comrades getting arrested by democrat politicians for protesting those politicians abandoning trans kids medically to protect institutions and placate trump.
Loads of details left out of this, so I can't really say if I would be For or Against those arrests, but your ideology as stated in this thread is predicated upon tankies never arresting protestors, which is... how to put it politely... incorrect.
this says more about you than anything else. democrats have had their boots on plenty of necks, just with more appealing branding. democrats built and operated the deportation machine before trump, have been bombing multiple countries continuously when in power, and out of power are arresting trans activists rather than opposing trump.
Yeah, fair to say that I hyperbolized - Democrats can be oppressors just like anyone else, but much like the meme points out, they do it far less, so that's how I vote when the General rolls around.
The point, as always, is as that other meme from a couple days ago expressed where you have a tally board with 50,000 tallies and one with 5. Tankies (and their self-proclaimed non-tankie allies, as you claim to be) insist those numbers are identical, so you shouldn't bother supporting either side. I think that's preposterous to the point of clear bad faith argument, but I recognize it's possible that someone... less wise... may in fact fully believe it.
5 is bad. I want it to be 0. But I'll take 5 over 50,000 any day of the week and you will never convince me that's wrong (in the General).
MLs want to get rid of the boot entirely, but we disagree on some details
Frankly: bruh
You simply are completely unaware of the practices of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and their friends.
Marxists may want to get rid of the boot, but Marxist-Leninists firmly do not.
Here's some things you might want to read about (in case you're not trolling) and anyone who made it this far who isn't aware you're completely wrong on that bit:
Plenty of M-L boots on plenty of necks in any of those examples. I don't see how you could ignore that apart from a No True M-L fallacy angle.
