the situation of an earnest socialist insurgency in the west would be such a drastically different situation that what we have now that there's probably going to be full volumes of new theory that have to be written.

That's a better way to put it, and I agree. I think sometimes people imagine that revolution in (say) the US would just look like the October Revolution come again. It won't. Our material conditions are vastly different, and the theory, tactics, concerns, and problems will be vastly different as well. There's certainly no need to do the enemy's work for him and reproduce the problems of the past before we even get to that juncture, and things may be so different we never need get there at all.

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
