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

Lmao, Marx famously failed to consider socially useless labor time and fixed capital investment.
One failed product clearly disproves everything Marx ever wrote, communism has never been more finished
It's just so silly, they are just making the mudpie argument which is dispelled in the first few pages of capital.
Gotta love showing an example of how capitalism failed means communism didn't work lmao. Yeah there might be people starving and juiceros being created and failing but that definitely doesn't have to do with the distribution of goods based on profit instead of need. Nope.
Aside from that Marx and Engels personally wrote more than this, it's always insightful how they don't just not know about communism and don't know that there's a lot they don't know, but also actively suppose there is almost nothing to know even according to communists
when you definitely understand the left
The average leftist forum debate is at least 7 books equivalent if not more. And it’ll be on something inconsequential
7 would be great. I can read 7 books to follow a forum thread. when I get a reading list with dozens of books I get overwhelmed.
marxism, famous for not having a veritable library of work
This person pulls a bait and switch in the worst way. They mention the failures of socialist economies, then goes on to describe the Juicero, which as a failure of the excesses of venture capital.
In fact if I remember right, a Chinese company copied the design of the Juicero, scrapped the useless parts like the QR reader and the wifi, and sold it for less than $100. They probably made a profit. Chalk up a win for socialism I guess.
