1. "As Leninists we understand the importance of the anti-imperialist struggle. Therefore, *blatant Kautskyism*

2. I hate social democrats! Also the country with the world's most important market economy is socialist because the capitalists are under control of the state.

3. There are times when it's acceptable for Communists to ally with the national bourgeoisie for strategic reasons, like when we tried it with Chiang Kai-shek, Suharto, and Saddam Hussein and nothing bad happened to us at all.

4. *The incomprehensible foamy-mouthed gibberish that comes out whenever Trotsky is even mentioned* (although tbh I kinda get why people who spend all their time arguing with Trotskyists would become so neurotic)

5. I'm a Marxist-Leninist.

But there's one major exception, which is when you're clearly joking.

If you say something like "I'm going to forcefem Richard Nixon for his crimes", you will be subjected to a person who fully and entirely believes that:

You possess the infrastructure and resources necessary to operate a real life forcefemming dungeon sophisticated enough to forcefem not just any captive, but a US President

You intend to wield the power of this forcefem dungeon over political disagreements, and are taking active steps to do so

Your intended target is Richard Nixon, famously a corpse who has been dead for 30 glorious, Nixonless years, and you are apparently going to be able to put him in a state that would be receptive to forcefemming, which is generally understood to require a subject who is alive

Despite the evidence that you are a necromancer with substantial kidnapping abilities, you are receptive to being informed, in a strongly worded post of concern, that necromantic forcefem is immoral.
