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

What publication style do you use? I use Trotskyist 7th edition
On one hand - good, they should get more.
on the other - grinding halt is 5 % growth of gdp, the fuck can you characterize italy perfomance then? Spaghettin' on the event horizon halt?
the brutal factional infighting among the top bureaucrats of the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime
Wait a second I’m so confused, I thought the CCP leadership were all bootlicking yes men who do whatever high overlord Xi tell them to do and that’s ruining China, now the CCP leadership is divided by infighting and that’s ruining China? Which is it?
That article was all but completely devoid of any kind of data ir analysis. It just says repeatedly "China over China over worker good!"
Was Trot dunking fair game from the start, or did it quietly develop over time?
I think we unfortunately still consider Trot dunking to be sectarian, but honestly when they start it like this, it feels like they make themselves fair game. Going around dunking on Trots just because isn't okay but...I think this sort of dunk tank post should be okay.
Granted, the best Trot dunk already happened over 100 years ago at this point, so I guess why even bother to say anything other than:
P.S. Trotsky has sent in a silly letter. We shall neither print it nor reply to him
Lol I thought the best Trot dunk was the icepick thing in '40
This is more of a counter-dunk
It's not sectarian to call out sectarianism.
I'd be interested what the penalties for wage theft are, either as a manager or as a CEO type in China. Because this article seems to claim they do it with impunity like the US does, but without any evidence.
