When it comes to debating leftists as a former leftists I like to ask them if they would choose a crony neo-feudalist system or liberal democracy on the march to socialism and eventually communism. Marx would say liberal democracy is preferable.

As someone who selects my ideologies out of a hat I present more serious people with a false dichotomy and make assumptions about what a philosopher I've never read would pick.

Why did I go there? I knew it would only make me sad visible-disgust

I think you might be right with this one tbh. "Former leftist" just reeks of fed energy.

If someone asked them to name an example of that they’d probably say Scandinavia

"former leftist" is a funny way to say "liberal who hates minorities more openly than they used to."

as a former non-believer in Santa, I can tell you exactly how to nail the non-believers: ask them if they choose Santa going down a chimney or going through the front door but bypassing the alarm system is more believable. Watch them squirm trying to answer.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
