LWDT 8: Hitting the Marx

[North German Realm]

Honestly striking Moscow alone would be enough to neuter the Union as a threat in perpetuity, at least at that point. What I'm wondering is how they'd go around partitioning the USSR after its inevitable defeat.

In any event, an attack from either side was unlikely to happen just after the war had ended; tankies gonna be tankies, thinks the USSR was invincible. Also, the idea that the Western Allies could (not to mention should) have attacked is also unrealistic.

I mean sure. The idea that the Allies should have attacked the USSR kinda ignores what literally everyone was feeling when the war had ended in Europe. And the Soviets knew they were in no position to try anything, so the idea they'd start anything would be moot as well.

It will work this time, comrade!

Imagine coming to agreement with a fascist about the "brutishness" of socialism.

Also, the laziest argument in existence.

A broken clock is right twice a day.

Perhaps socialism always degenerates into brutishness when practiced on a sufficiently large scale.

And right libertarianism degenerates into brutishnes immediately. That being said, authoritarian socialism sucks as hard as fascism does.

Right-libertarianism is a young ideology, unlike socialism, and has not been practiced on a large scale.

They don't care about being right. This isn't discourse to them, this is a performance. They aren't here to change our minds or broaden their own understanding they're here to own the commies until we give up and leave the forum.

I reckon that few people come to NSG to change each other's minds. I shall leave it to history to decide which one of us will be vindicated.

Pretty much, the whole Freikorps flag thing is a good example of that.

What would Trotsky have thought of Monday Night Football on ESPN, this week's match-up is a division battle for the NFC North, with Green Bay Packers taking it to the Minnesota Vikings - brought to you by Toyota, Let's Go Places!?

What is everyone's thoughts on Euro-Communism, and has any leftist here been called a liberal by Marxist-Leninist and a Tankie by libertarian socialist?

I mean yeah, but three of them are at least casually homophobic.

Oh yes of course. That site does look utterly cancerous. I am sorry you have to be subjected to their torment.

Lol, it doesn't bother me, I'm getting a kick out of it.

Okay, I'm confused. Why did three pages of this thread just disappear?

A semi-regular got purged, I think. I can't tell you why they were purged, though. It's a riddle for the ages.

Because he was accused of being a rapist and it ended up being true.

FTFY.

Since it’s out in the open, now...

I didn't think the full extent of it was appropriate for polite company.

The evidence is in moderation. If the year want it, they can find it for themselves. It’s not hidden from anyone.

Yes, that's why I didn't want to post the full story. I don't like speaking of such crimes.

Ah. Yes, the guy who accused him posted an archived version of the post, EL admitted to it, but let's not talk of such things anymore.

The year's almost over. I want to spread a little positivity here and there. The international Left has had its victories and its defeats. From the Portuguese left gaining a lot of ground to the UK Labour getting their ass handed to them.

What do you think was the most important? Could be your favorite moment, could be what you think got (or should be getting) most of the world's attention, or it could be a defeat or a victory you think we can learn a lot from and do better in 2020.

Heavy shit hey how about we answer this

I think Labour's loss of its traditional heartland should be a sign that socialists and social democrats shouldn't throw their lot in with neoliberals.
