Read on Twitter
Alright, I& #39;m doing this:
One like = One hot take
I have plenty of spicy takes in my drafts, some of which don& #39;t really deserve individual tweets, so I& #39;ll just use & #39;em here.
Some of them are about Marxism, some of them are general. Sorry to those I& #39;m about to offend in advance!

Weew boy, here we go:
1. No activism at all is immeasurably better than pseudo-activism.
2. Luxemburg wasn& #39;t that ugly or unattractive.
3. Mao Zedong was better that Stalin in many ways.

4. Most Marxist critiques of Anarchism I& #39;ve read were very weak or based on strawmen.
5. Society has progressed past the need for Council Communism.
6. Luxemburg& #39;s "The Accumulation of Capital" isn& #39;t that horrible. It actually has many great and useful parts.

7. Young Stalin (the famous picture of him is airbrushed and edited to hell anyways) isn& #39;t hot.
8. Lenin made more mistakes that most of us want to admit.
9. Imperialism: the Highest Stage of Capitalism is one of Lenin& #39;s most mundane and "meh" works.
10. Green tea sucks ass.

11. Žižek is overrated & has many stupid opinions
12. Vanilla ice cream is the best. Chocolate ice cream is horrible.
13. Chocolate-flavoured anything usually tastes like chemical vomit. Eat actual chocolate instead of bullshit.
14. Speaking of bullshit, Kronstadt was bullshit

15. Pocasts suuuuuuuuck.
16. [Twitter] LeftComs should stop jerking off to Bordiga & actually read him.
17. The National Question discourse is ALWAYS bad.
18. Alexandra Kollontai was hot, haters gonna hate.
19. Sartre& #39;s Nausea is a really good book & is unnecessarily hated.

20. Unironically using "Hismat" & "Diamat" instead of "Historical Materialism" & "Dialectical Materialism" is very cringe.
21. Most people who use "dialectics" don& #39;t know what it means.
22. Most sports are super boring & stupid. I& #39;m not watching 20 men chase a ball for 2 hours.

23. I feel like debating a moron is much harder than debating a smart, well-read person. Some people can be so stupid sometimes and it& #39;ll leave you baffled, unable to properly respond.
24. It& #39;s not worth debating *most* leftists. Like, ever. You& #39;re just wasting your time.

25. We have to let Gramsci go. He was not good.
26. Marxists will never be able to wash Stalin & his legacy off of them. We should analyse what & why instead of aggressively trying to build walls between historical events in a vain attempt so seem better or morally superior.

27. Speaking of Stalin, Stalinists are not our allies. We don& #39;t have the same methods, aims & understanding of most things. For us, they represent a triumph of the counterrevolution.
28. Most Trotskyists are insufferable pedants with a martyrdom complex for some reason. Sorry.
