Apologies if everyone knew this and it was a sitewide bit but I did not and now I feel kinda gross for having used it

EDIT: Converted to an archive link out of concerns about direct linking to reactionary site, mea culpa

To clarify: this is NOT the silly letter quote, that was very real

i always knew it was fake because homeboy literally wrote an entire book replying to kautsky once. it's like marx vs. stirner levels of reply guy

Writing an entire book to a dude about how you're not mad lenin-rage

Look at the roundness of that skull. Superb

I want a giant Lenin head outside my home the same way Asian restaurants have a fat buddah or good luck cat statue

[–] reddit@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

I mean tbh I also wondered that but I saw it enough times I just kind of assumed even he got pissed off enough to say that once

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

He’ll mention Kautsky for like 2 paragraphs while talking about something entirely different lol

Reminder that SDL is a racist liberal and I’ve also never seen that quote used here

[–] reddit@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know anything about SDL but we literally have that quote as a site tagline and I see it here all the time, I went to go find the origin and found this. Apologies if I posted a bad source, truly don't know anything about them

[–] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

do we? i thought we had the “trotsky has sent in a silly letter” quote as a tagline. that one is real

[–] reddit@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

We have both - seeing this one (or maybe a variation on it) this morning was what prompted me to actually go find the source, I was curious. Is there anywhere to see a list of taglines?

What makes them a racist liberal?

Hes a huge piece of shit who just wants clout and often left punches

[–] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

something he said in destiny’s discord. i forget the details but they’re actually a disgusting person

[–] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

SDL has sent in a silly letter. We will neither print it not reply to them.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

I’m not anti debate. I’m anti wasting my time with silly people, thus that quote will always be real to me

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Archive.ph has sent us a silly letter. We shall neither repost or dunk on it.

[–] reddit@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Don't worry it's not the silly letter quote - I know that would be devastating to lose

[–] Gay_Tomato@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does this count as a dirrct link to a reactionary site?

[–] reddit@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Oh shit I'm sorry, I didn't realize. I'll put it in an archive link

If we're debunking apocryphal Lenin quotes, he also never said the one about there being decades where nothing happens and weeks where decades happen
