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

Is there anything about Marx, that makes him the opposite of Columbus? Did Marx sail?
Marx did the opposite of sail.
He positioned himself on a small island off the coast and sang beautiful songs to attract unwitting sailors. They would destroy their ships on the rocks trying to find the source of the beautiful songs. At which point the surviving sailors would each get an autographed copy of Das Kapital. This is why modern day capitalists fear Marxism, global sea trade would grind to a half if even five well positioned people followed in the footsteps of Marx.
This is also why each statue of Columbus is required, by US federal law, to have a Marx statue attached to the bottom. It's to provide the proper counterbalance when attaching the statue to the ground, otherwise these things would flip on their own all the time. It makes the Columbus statue neutrally buoyant.
