I don’t fucking care if America’s enemies are perfect. None of them (except like fucking North Korea) are perfect.

Some of them are better than others. Some of them I only tenuously support.

As long as they oppose America, I support them nevertheless. As long as they oppose the conditions that smother socialism, I support them nevertheless.

All I care about is that America is defeated, because socialism cannot happen under global American hegemony.

Revolutionary defeatism is when you want your own country to lose. That is what defeatism means, to want defeat.

To achieve defeat, you must implicitly or explicitly support your country’s enemies, like Russia.

When have Russian capitalists run amok across the world bombing multitudes of countries back into the age of open air slave markets?

???

What?

Do you understand what the word ‘defeatism’ means?

Putin is not Hitler. To compare him to Hitler is to minimize Hitler.

“I, as an American, want Russia to lose because of revolutionary defeatism.”

The point of revolutionary defeatism is that your own country loses.

I believe he is referring to the scale of the graph being incredibly small.

You’re correct, actually.

Sure, “book” and “guy” may be improper nouns. “Guys” (‘guy’ plural) may also be an improper noun but when used to refer to the group of people you’re speaking towards (as in “guys I’m trapped in the elevator”), it’s used as a pronoun.

It could also be argued that “guys” used in that context isn’t a noun or pronoun at all but rather just a filler word as it doesn’t communicate any meaning (you are implicitly talking to the people you are talking towards).

A noun is something that refers to something independent of the context. Think: “9/11”, “American war crimes in Vietnam and Korea”, and “Guantanamo bay”. The thing(s) it’s referring to doesn’t change depending on who you’re speaking to (the context).

A pronoun is something that refers to something dependent on the context. Think: “He”, “She”, “They”, and “You”. The thing(s) it’s referring to depends on who you’re speaking to or about (the context).

‘Guys’ is a pronoun as the thing (people) it’s referring to changes depending on who you’re speaking to.
