What a great use of this meme....
Thats commentary on libertarians or communists?
Maxist-Leninists.
M.A.D. maxists
Who is this "we" supposed to be?
This is the Leninist interpretation of Marxism. Which is what the vast majority of the authoritarian “communist” states of the 20th century were based upon.
Sounds like tankies to me, but i guess its sort of vague
It works for a lot of utopian movements with "Ends justify the means" thinking, tbqh.
Yeah, thats what i noticed about the vagueness. I believe it was intentional. Im just around a lot of tankies so it made me think of them first lol
Libertarians
Try Marxist-Leninists. I literally had this exact conversation the other day with two .ml users... They were trying to claim communism "actually totally works" because Russia/China/etcetc have proven it ... except they're not communist countries. They then went on to explain that, "no aktually having a ruling party that continues to segregate the population and elevate and protect their own positions is totally communism! You need to read more theory, because there has to be a transition to communism ..."
blah blah blah... They're literally too stupid to understand OP's joke. They unironically think that stuff.
careful not to rationalize yourself into a murder cult there
