Darn tankies!

Ralph Nader

Ok, good bit.

Posted this in the other thread. Unbelievable people take this person seriously.

I love that the latest struggle session is about an anti-Marxist social democrat on a predominantly ML and anarchist site. Like I said before, all the dude does is write good articles sometimes. He's not worth dying on a hill over. lol

In both pictures, the left is before and the right is after.

LMAO

There are better journalists working that don't have the reactionary baggage those two have. They're just broken clocks at this point.

lol No, they don’t like that show. Chapo may have praised them in the past, but they definitely don’t like them anymore. Not only did the show make fun of them for getting a PPP loan, but they also made fun of the main host several months ago for being caught changing aspects of her life story. https://youtu.be/lkYV5RgdR7w?si=Ugqyv7BfZZe3kTbQ

Nothing like playing the “I’m a better communist than you” game. Dude needs to get off his high horse.

Wait so you're criticizing a podcast you don't even listen to lol

Why? Optimism when everything is shit and has 0 signs of getting better is just religion.

You really showed your hand here. It just screams cynical atheist shit. Without revolutionary optimism, you just fall down into a nihilistic reactionary hole. Things ARE happening even if you want to deny material reality.

The fact that you defend small business tyrants further down the thread just adds onto it.

I agree. I like the boys, but even their podcasts can be tiresome to listen to because they usually only have on American guests or other westerners and talk about American topics despite it being an international podcast.

lol They actually have nonwesterners on their show and go to great lengths to talk about nonwestern issues, but go off.

I actually agree with this guy for the most part. Hakim and Parenti are definitely not liberals lol, but there is some wishful thinking when it comes to the lead up and outcome of communism.

I don't. Also, revolutionary optimism is a good thing.

And you maybe right, but I don't know. There are have been other occasions where I've seen people write negative things about her and it's always rubbed me the wrong way. I'm willing to accept good faith criticisms of her actions like the one I mentioned before, but certain comments in this thread don't sit right with me. Attempts at revisionism perhaps? I don't know.

Just because someone has been here three years doesn't exempt them from criticism. For all you know, milistanaccount09 maybe a long time poster who started a new account.
