Apologies if everyone knew this and it was a sitewide bit but I did not and now I feel kinda gross for having used it

EDIT: Converted to an archive link out of concerns about direct linking to reactionary site, mea culpa

To clarify: this is NOT the silly letter quote, that was very real

Tbh I have never seen this quote before. The """"""""""anti-debate""""""""" quote I know is the "Trotsky has sent in a silly letter" one which is real. I'm wondering if this guy is a new age Kauskyite indulging in hipster leftism.

Thankfully the silly letter quote is real, if we lost that one I would be inconsolable

Oh thank fuck when I saw the post title I thought it was this one. I'm glad this one is still real I need it to stay real.

I thought they were part of the same quote.
