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

if anyone on the left has to root for Marx's infidelity, do all capitalists have to root for Perdue pharma's intent to fatally supply Oxy? Or slavery?
The idea is absurd, and yet...
For one thing Marx's infidelity isn't actually very well proven also we're saying listen to his economic philosphy you don't have to let him marry your sister
Also, like....who fucking cares, this shit was 200 years ago. All that's left of Marx is his works, you're not gonna have to put up with him at your next party.
I guess libertarians are lucky it's not called Hayekism or something because then they'd be subject to a bunch of inane comments about adultery, infidelity, and "how can you support someone who married his cousin?"
Though on second thought that would be kind of fun and funny.
Libertarians always were the shelbyville of ideologies with the whole thing being predicated on a false mythos of the development of commerce based on just-so stories.
Doesn't stop them from worshiping him. Hero worship among marxists is bad, but it's not a tenth of the dickriding that right libertarians do with their Favorite Guys.
