        .ml isn’t collectively smart enough for that.

          Nah, it’s a pretty popular meme in Marxist circles making fun of reformism. Here’s an example:

          The super obvious editing is part of the joke, it isn’t a sincere belief in the edited statement but pointing out the absurdity of the statement in combination with the revolutionaries making them. With the recent wave of social democrats winning elections against establishment liberals, an ongoing struggle right now is in understanding the historically proven limitations of social democracy.

            I don’t know a lot about Hasan, does he not believe in Revolution?

              He’s a social democrat reformist that doesn’t fearmonger about revolution.

          are you telling me you actually agree with the literal statement in the meme or did I just get lost in some layer of irony

            No, I’m saying it’s a parody of folks who are like “VOTING AGAINST FASCISM IS FASCIST!”

              Ah okay I see. I always read it as a parody of people who think voting is the only/main way to participate in politics.

                It might be both tbh

                Though I think it’s been made in reaction to folks who are unironically going “they both suck, don’t vote!”

          The meme you posted has already been circulating around Marxist communities as a sarcastic jab against reformism, PotatoesFall is correct.
