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 [email protected]

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

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. He wrote about communism and the purest way to get his utopia was from a capitalist society. We’ve lost millions of lives bc of this failed ideology. And to think you are brilliant yet so ignorant.

It hurts so much

If Marx loved Communism so much why didn't he title his book "Das Kommune"??

Gonna rewrite Das Kapital, but as a Get Rich Quick book by simply removing all the passages where Marx says "this is bad btw and the proles should do something about it"
