So you mean they will house her only in a more expensive and more dehumanizing way.

That’s the funny part, they don’t just look like one, they are one.

I know. Been here long enough to start caring about calling out campist BS.

I can’t hear you over the sound of tank treads crushing grassroots working class organizing.

Oh sorry. So removing all mention of nuance from my previous comment, and adding a bit about tankies, because we can’t have shitposting without mentioning tankies:

What is this tankie campist shit?

Sure add: Greece. Portugal. Italy. France. Spain. Armed antifascist struggles, may 68, general strikes, civil wars, guerilla groups, etc.

Like the reductiveness of “West bad” is so insanely naive that it hurts.

What is this campist shit.

This is as shallow as “girls are dumb”.

I think breaking pinatas breaks the nap.

Being pedantic with the meme are we?

The point is that we need to break that piñata.

The “what” is the primary message of the meme. The “how” is up for debate. We can do it the nice and easy way, institutionally and orderly, with wealth taxes that are punitive enough to undo the obscene degree of inequality. Or we can do it the hard way with guillotines. Obviously I much much rather prefer the first, I would indeed like to keep my hobbies and walk my dog. So the patricians better go along, because the plebs cannot be blamed if they end up with no other option than violent revolution.

Well, your toothbrush is gross and your toes smell like canola oil.

And shitty communists go around purging other communists in kangaroo courts and show trials.

Shitty communists impose cults of personality and destroy workers democracy.

Shitty communists also refuse to learn from a century of shitty communism and still cling to old categories as if they have any meaning today. I mean you can stan Robespierre all you like but in the end of the day, the 1871 Commune was never going to be run by 1789 Jacobins much less fucking bonapartists.

Disengage

We don’t need an age/authority framework to have a discussion.

Call me old fashioned, but language matters. And if you scroll through this thread you will see that OP is pretty much using it as a campist slur, not ironically.

We used to critique whig historiography, maybe we need to critique whig linguistics too. “Westoid” reeks of campism, that’s not something to just accept and move on.

The point of the Latuff cartoon is valid, I just really dislike the smell of the word “westoid”.

Indeed but Israel is not copying those. They are not stealing Palestinian kids and raising them to be Hebrew speaking Jewish Israelis.

Left out Apartheid South Africa.

The United States of America after the Cold War.

At this point: sure whatever, leave me alone.
