we've never seen socialism existing on its own terms. every socialist project has existed under a constant state of siege by the capitalist world, which is determined to overthrow it. when you scoff that the state has never withered away in any Marxist-Leninist country, you're really scoffing that global capitalism hasn't been defeated yet, because that's what forces socialist projects to maintain their state. you might as well be scoffing at people for not floating while gravity still exists

Have you guys seen that letter Stalin wrote because he was embarrassed that Tsaritsyn was named renamed Stalingrad after him it's my favorite thing ever it's so fucking funny

"You don't have to date men" being turned into "this is exclusionary and this is how you become a TERF" is insane btw. Block on sight

Like think about what you are saying. We're not saying you don't have to be friends or to treat all men like shit. It's literally "You do not have to have a romantic relationship with a man if you don't want one". If that offends you really dig deep in yourself to find out why

It's a great example of how even a milquetoast feminist statement like "You have autonomy on whether or not you want to be dating" can refuse to fly with people. Men aren't entitled to romantic relationships with women.
