my aunt and uncle were hippies and still do pot and peyote and mushrooms whilst listening to Cream. they live in Orange County and voted for Amy Klobuchar in the primary. they also got covid through their frivolous actions. so goes the story of the hippies.

Trotsky jerked off with a finger up his rear end once and hurt his shoulder before he could nut, never did it again even though he was enjoying it at the time

Since my arrival here, my poor dick hasn't even once gotten hard. It seems that it doesn't even exist. It too is resting, after the tension of the past few days. But there isn't only that - I also, with all my heart - I think with tenderness about the softness of your dear old pussy. I want to gently caress it, and push my tongue in its depths. Nataliochka, my dear, I will gently caress you with all my strength, with my tongue and my cock.

The modern revisionists and reactionaries call us Stalinists, thinking that they insult us and, in fact, that is what they have in mind. But, on the contrary, they glorify us with this epithet; it is an honor for us to be Stalinists.

Twitter thing a few posts above posted:

. . . is potentially as harmful as allowing Nazis into right-wing spheres.
This implies fascist sentiments arise in right-wing spheres because the latter aren't vigilant enough, rather than due to the inherent contradictions of right-wing ideology and its failure to maintain the status quo through bourgeois democracy.

Ditto posted:

["Tankie" arguments are] harmful to public discourse and political action.
This is a dubious argument too. Obviously having a simplistic black-and-white understanding of the USSR or whatever isn't helpful in debates with people who know better, and generally leads to dogmatism in practice, but the growth of working-class power doesn't depend on "public discourse" so much as the class struggle. For example, the Russian establishment press in the course of 1917 accused Lenin of being a German agent, which temporarily undermined Bolshevik popularity, but the Bolsheviks soon became more popular than ever due to being perceived by the bulk of the working-class as reflecting their aspirations. All the "theoretical" attacks and accusations of perfidy against the Bolshevik party from every conceivable political tendency ultimately paled before this basic fact. It's even sillier to think workers in a situation of similarly intense class struggle would think "oh no, these communists have a peculiar view of a foreign historical event or leftist personality, clearly we cannot support them even if we believe said communists are adequately defending and representing our interests."

But if one reduces the struggle for socialism (or anarchism, as this person seems to support) to a "rational" process whereby nerds debate each other until their social system wins out in the court of public opinion, then trying to "cleanse" an ideology of anything opponents might conceivably take issue with becomes inordinately important. It is also a one-way ticket to reformism and/or irrelevance.

nothing works without the backbone and the propensity to do it, so this is pretty basic by all things given, though I can see why people would forget about this

Besides the incredibly questionable idea of publicly discussing how to counter US Army combat doctrine on twitter for your hypothetical revolution, seems like putting the cart before the horse to focus on this before even building some kind of disciplined movement that could be moved to use force against the state.

this seems naive. one time Philadelphia firebombed a city block cause some anti-racist vegetarians were getting on their nerves, if there was anything resembling a legitimate “revolt” in an American city their response would be swift and without remorse, and capital would approve
