    I wish I’d saved it, but I’ve legit seen tankies argue that we’d be better off if the Confederates had won the American Civil War (the line of thinking was that conditions would have been so bad with slavery continued that a popular/Marxist revolution would have come about in those states by now vs. capitalism continuing).

        They have absolutely no ground game, and just expect to throw a fist in the air and say “rise up comrades, who’s with me!?”, and then go full on surprised Pikachu when nobody takes them up on that offer.

      Ah yes. Support Hitler because the Jews would become communist after they truly understand the perils of capitalism.

      Typical mindset of revolutionaries. If they can’t flip a switch and everything is 100% as they imagine immediately, they don’t want it, and will actively fight against partial progress.
