Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary."
"To be able forcefully and threateningly to oppose this party [bourgeois], the workers must be armed and organized."
Followed shortly after by:

And then they call everyone else revisionist
You think Stalin wouldn't have killed all these people if they had guns?
law enforcers tend to be cowards. an armed community is harder to oppress
What?

I legitimately don't know what you're trying to say or why it's relevant.
Did you reply to the wrong comment?
"...and as a result..."
Read your own pull quote.
This is going over a lot better than when I said it, in progressivepolitics@lemmy.world no less. What a difference a month makes these days, I suppose.

I would fuck with that sub Lemmy. I got into an argument and they deleted every single comment I made in another separate post, even though it was at +14. Idk if they're tankies or punks, but they both quacking to me.
You have 16 upvotes there though.
There are 12 downvotes that I guess your instance/client doesn’t show, making it a 2:1 up/down ratio. Sure it’s not downvote oblivion, but much less favorable than here, as I said, in the “progressive” politics community, to boot. I also know at least a few people upped it when I posted the above comment.
Sage advice... for the 1850s.
Just because an idea is old doesn't make it valid either.
See for example:
No, I said: "Sage advice... for the 1850s."
Whether it's currently sage advice is debatable.
