  • Indeed, Lein’s work is highly relevant today. For example, The State and Revolution directly addresses the debates over reformism and the nature of the state that we see constantly happening right now. It’s depressing to see all the same arguments replayed as if we don’t have historical evidence to lean on to decide which ones were correct.









  • Talking about whataboutism is just a way to paper over hypocrisy. It’s not a real argument. Then you proceeded to make it crystal clear that you are indeed a hypocrite.

    What I don’t understand is why “leftists” like you feel the need to vocally support an oligarch and dictator, instead of being able to say that the war in Ukraine is a pointless waste of human lives for which Putin is directly responsible as the aggressor.

    Nice straw man there buddy, cause nowhere did I vocally support anything. What you’re being told is that what Russia is doing is no different from what the west has been doing, and that the west is just as responsible for starting and continuing this conflict. Apparently that’s just too hard a concept for you to comprehend.

    The most incredible part is that multiple people in this very thread tried to explain the situation to you, and you just ignore the facts and continue regurgitating the talking points you’ve memorized. The sheer anti-intellectualism on display is stunning.
