Everyone has hot takes, let this thread be your safe space to unleash fire on us.
Respectability tone policing shit
There are tons of perfectly polite Marxists, I am not one of them. Some people require bullying and mockery of they will stay stuck in their ways.
Succs and ultras that parrot century old utopian tropes are even more outdated than Marxists, and maybe they require sufficient mockery before they realize they are a meme
Congrats. Before I thought you might be wrong. Now I think you’re wrong and also kind of a dick. Did you get what you wanted?
Respectability tone policing shit
The bare minimum standard of “don’t be a huge asshole at the drop of a hat to people you ostensibly want to organize with” is not tone policing.
No one likes your type of asshole. No one wants to be around your type of asshole. Your type of asshole makes people lose interest and stop showing up. It doesn’t matter how right you think you are, because if you can’t do the bare minimum of getting along with fellow leftists you’re fucking useless.
