In a press conference this week on New York City’s $12 billion budget gap, Mayor Zohran Mamdani zeroed in on the previous administration’s artificial intelligence chatbot as one of “a number of different things we’re going to pursue for savings.”

Cause I totally invented the term "red fash"

Oh, don't worry, nobody's accusing you of actually putting enough thought into things to invent that.

Lenin killed a bunch of communists after they beat him in an election

The bait and swtich of "all power to the Soviets" to "ummm actually the Party is the people" was actually Trotsky's particular bullshit, but since the Bolsheviks took it, they own it.

so tankies gobble his dick

And you consider everyone who doesn't swallow your particular brand of ineffective purity a tankie, it seems.

I don't agree with plenty of things from the Bolsheviks - the critiques of Luxembourg I think were particularly apt and prescient. But, with that said, I also don't let my very basic disagreement with that justify alliance with something far worse, the capitalist and fascist forces that the left as a whole opposes. And nonsense like "red fash" does exactly that. And usually seems to follow the Parenti phrased criticism of only allowing respect for revolutions that fail. You're validating horseshoe theory, the most nonsense liberal rewriting of history.

You want, you can go kill all the Bolsheviks you really want to after the revolution. Until then, it's the same counterproductive and idiotic posturing that the Stalinist for Fashion idiots demonstrate, except with a black flag instead of a red one.
