I have been skeptical of Keffals since I heard that she once was an ML and had backtracked, but she's gone all in now it seems. No specific hate, it's just frustrating and tiresome. I watched the "No Socialism Hasn't Failed" that she references as being loony and it's fine

There are two kinds of people who can be "just Marxist but not ML"

The first are academics who use Marx as a philosophical reference to approach other human and societal problems

The second are people who read absolutely nothing so they think that Marx is slightly left of Bernie Sanders and wouldn't advocate for absolute state terror against the counter revolution

It’s weird I’ve never heard of this woman and she’s been all over reddit the past couple days. I got banned for a week for getting into it with one of her fans who was calling me a red fascist. It was a British person, so I linked a picture of the British armed forces meeting with the Nazi’s in the early 30’s. Apparently it was “promoting hate of a marginalized community” for pointing out that the British were close with the Nazis and refused to ally with the Soviets. Apparently the British are a marginalized community on reddit. Classic reddit L. The mod of the “toiletpaperusa” sub actually unbanned me from the sub and is apparently some kind of anti-china communist. Those fucking admins banned from the entire site regardless. So weird that these Kefal posts are everywhere and her fans are such clowns. It was worth being banned to drop that shit on that stupid Brit!

If Stalinism is anything, it's Marxism-Leninism as he was the one who wrote the book on it. People call us Stalinists like it's some massive own. Yeah, our ideology is related to Stalin. That doesn't somehow make it wrong.

Just toss that shit back at them. Liberalism as an ideology advocated slavery from the beginning of its foundation and was realized as a governing project by literal slave-owners and genocidaires.

Rooting against leninists or stalinists is kinda weird cuz they were extremely successful. Lenin led a communist revolution of a barely industrialized society and Stalin won the largest, most technologically advanced war at that time against a sworn enemy.

It isn't about that though, it's about maximising the audience. There's a lot more western leftists who hate AES than those that bother to learn about them. Gotta keep that grift going, whether they're aiming for attention or money.

Oh right, the Talcum X rule. "Anything to maintain the grift."

She's from TERF island? I think we all know what pipeline she's headed down then.

These stupid creatures do not know what fascism is, if they insult ML like this. There is no ideology better at fascism removal. How many nazi was killed by anarchokiddies, socdems and such "marxists"? How many KV-2 and ISU-152 these ideologies organized against fascism?

Oh, you like some of the ideas <insert non-Stalin communist here>, you have to be a stalinist tankie smuglord

"i mean, lenin and marx were stalinists...leninism is stalinism!"

There's a powerful anti-tankie group on lemmy, and it's just a fascist vanguard.

It's an easy strategy for them: talk about USSR fascism, and link it to any left idea. Talk about it a lot like it's an actual problem to divert the attention from the rampant fascism. Libs benefit a lot from that. Fascists too.
