Mao: We should literally kill every landlord

Harris: We should fund a first time home buyers grant of $20,000 for pell grant recipients who have owned a small business for 25 years

Vaush: These are literally the same thing

We've done it. We've finally manufactured and deployed the wrongest man.

The “[historical figure] would’ve supported [modern candidate/movement/policy]” is the most brain dead argument. Obviously, they’re not here to tell us otherwise. But more importantly, despite the iconography being fun, figures like Lenin, Mao, etc were not prophets delivering holy truths from on high. They were just people making the best of their situations and figuring out what worked in the moment. Which is the best we can do, and often that means taking a different tactic than leftists of old. Ironically, playing games of “What would Lenin do?” is the exact opposite of conceptualizing theory in the modern context because it ties leftist politics to people who had decades of evolving context since their deaths.

I really hope this mf catches a bullet come the revolution

For anyone curious about the Harris housing plan: https://nhc.org/the-harris-walz-housing-plan-detailed-serious-and-impactful/

It includes:

Tax breaks for builders

Different tax breaks for builders

Up to $25k for first time home buyers who have not missed rent in the last two years. Also sounds like it might be limited to 1 million buyers a year

Funds for local govt to distribute to non profits/housing services

Deregulation ("cutting red tape and bureaucracy")

Remove tax benefits for corporations that buy single family homes to rent

Some vague "rent control" that isn't

This is some of the absolute dumbest shit I have ever read. What on Earth could Vaush have ever read beyond Wikipedia that led him to this conclusion?

Mao is evil and everything he did was evil.

Kamala Harris is good and everything she does is good.

If you like Mao, who is evil, then you should like Harris, who is good.

Harris and Mao actually have really similar policies, which you should be happy about if you like Mao, which you shouldn't.

Being a Liberal must be fucking exhausting.

Lmao "radical"

Her policy proposal is extremely conservative and unlikely to meaningfully change the course of the housing crisis

I'm not the biggest fan

So you are a fan, though

Well, if Kamala Harris wants to lead an uprising against the landlords that will be the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and lead to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the people, then I guess you've actually got to hand it to her.

$1,000 tax credit for peasants who don't overthrow their landlords

Too many liberals have trouble contextualizing theory in the modern era. If Hitler, Mussolini, etc, were alive today, they would have been Bernie/Warren staffers, and would have endorsed Biden after Bernie dropped out. You'd know that if you read more than their Wikipedia articles.

Posting this very relevant video of Hakim destroying Vaush's "support" for this idea that Marx, Lenin, etc. would support bourgeois electoralism (40:28, so if you're interested, strap on your seatbelt)

This is like the opposite of great man theory, like sure these dead fucks arnt infallible but goddamn put at least a little respect on their names

"If Mao was alive today" as if Mao lived in 700 BC or someshit, bro he knew what American imperialism was

he has to be an op istg

but it's instead of xi

This should be punishable by death

I feel theres a certain bloc of leftists who, post-bernie, have been ingesting vast amounts of copium to support dems. instead of taking the difficult route of organizing locally and starting from scratch, these guys decided to call it a day and support Kamala. So lame and sad.

"Kautsky!!!!"

stalin would have personally led a gang war so big that cascadia would be a country and vaush thinks the old man would have been a staffer

This is just a rehash of his old "Lenin would support voting for Biden", where he cherry picks a quote or two and runs with it.

Also, as if Lenin and Mao were fully unique Great People and there no current radical leftist leaders that take similar positions, lol

someone has to have the pic of that pig watching valsh in his pork wagon/patrol car

Deeply unserious

crop your darn images or you will be the next person in the dunk tank

Will no one rid me of this turbulent streamer?

This has to be him baiting us

Please god let it be bait

yeah I stan chairman KaMaola
