Why do they consider racism, orientalism and lies disputed long ago “valid criticism”. Not even mentioning the lack of humility or a will to learn, just constant snarkiness, smugness and an unrelenting feeling of superiority. Just please, engage with us on equal terms and don’t be dismissive.

Edit: Don’t go into the comments if you value your day…

    You make the mistake of thinking that ‘communists’ all are MLs, an easy mistake to make but if you really try to educate yourself on communism and its history you’ll find out it’s not true. It’s funny how you think being a tankie makes you the the most radical of the left, when you will happily support states with mixed economies, oligarchies and theocracies. Only Stalin was happy making deals with nazis, the people before him, not so much.

      Hey, do you have any resources that might discuss the ‘flavours’ of communism? I’m looking for good reading material and this sounds like a specific tangent I’d like to be more knowledgeable on.
