Bonus: "Left" anti-Communists love to act like they're experts in Marxism and MLs don't know anything because that's what their communal circlejerk says.

    Is it just me or is projection generally getting stronger and stronger in these internet personalities these days? It feels really heavily like people are well aware of what they're doing too, like it's literally just "accuse the other person of being and doing exactly what I am".

      I'm sure projection plays a part, but I think the echo chamber/circlejerk is the biggest contributing factor. Having spent a fair amount of time in RadLib communities, they love to gas each other up by repeating stuff they've heard other people say that is flattering. Repeat "MLs don't understand Marx" enough times and you start to believe it.

        Not only MLs don't understand Marx, Marx himself didn't understand Marxism till he learned Stalinism from Lenin.

          Lenin didn't even have a coherent political worldview until he was sent down to the New Jersey countryside to learn from Communist Dictator Michael Parenti :parenti:

              I mean, yeah, now it's industrialized, but that's because of Chairman Parenti's New Economic Deal. Back in the day it was mainly sorghum and millet farmers oppressed by semi-feudal Kulak (ham)Bürgers

                  smh constitutional ultras always wrecking... for the last time, the right to hold slaves is no longer a part of the United Socialist States of America's constitution, and we disavow 'Chairman' Washington and his gruesome Appalachian 'People's' War.
