Philosophy paper unironically argues that mosquitoes are, in fact, friends of the revolution.

I didn't think it would actually happen but it did.
The money quote:
If charity and social change are incompatible, as I suggest, then advocates of social change seem obliged to accept that currently poor people should be denied structurally harmful charity for the sake of eventual improvements under socialism, which might only be enjoyed by future generations.
Why are they incompatible?
Because charity reinforces "permissive cultural norms of economic choice that facilitate legal rights of private property and freedom of occupation."

There is absolutely nowhere on Reddit (except maybe The Great Awakening) where stupider, sadder, scareder, or crazier comments consistently get upboats and support than this place you linked. You might think, Hey look! A place where women aren't all sucking tranny peen! Weird! But then you find out that they are scared of tranny peen, and believe that in a couple years, women who don't assimilate and get a peen themselves will be locked up in suspended cages, let down from their gibbets only to be repeatedly viciously raped and denied STEM jobs.
That place is like /r/drama if everyone here felt scared for their lives, and could only find possibly recourse in demanding mayocide and bussy. Swap our memes for 'white-female ethnosexstate now' and 'kill all men before they kill all women' and you have a pretty fair idea of their topics.
And that's where it gets interesting: they're unironically probussycide, unironically antifemayocide. Truly, /r/drama has its antithesis.
And believe me: it is dangerous.

Socialists in 2015: Workers and the poor unite!
Socialists in 2019: Burn the poor!

Stalin knew that the peasants could not exist in his envisioned worker society, but he obviously couldn't tell the peasants that.

The global poor โ the poor

the best socialism by far is the former eastern european socialist in just how radically centrist it really is
if you stand out in any way shape or form (don't have the pre-approved haircut, are not ethnically pure and you don't suck your local commissar's dick or don't like being harassed by the army every day when you are drafted), you are an outcast and you are on the secret police's radar
also the adoration of coal miners, 5 years of hard labour for homosexual conduct, abortion being illegal because the nation needs childern, total disregard for the environment, or really anything that's not essential for your nation
and westerners then wonder why the eastern europe is not a bastion of liberalism and tolerance despite having relatively strong social safety nets

Tankies should somehow get to live in the states they idolize, it would be hilarious
1 Tytos_Lannister 2019-02-18
as a response they Chapo chaps always throw this line of 'the state capitalism' so that explains their lack of success
like if true socialism is so inherently better and more effective why didn't they adopt that in the first place, seems like a no-brainer
1 xthek 2019-02-18
It's so weird because the same people who mention state capitalism will never miss an opportunity to lick the boots of the USSR.

Isn't this exactly like the time lsc and neoliberal feuded over a malaria charity?
1 tgbz 2019-02-18
tfw you want to deliberately cause the deaths of millions of people your ideology is nominally created to uplift, in the hopes that their ancestors might one day be more sympathetic to your ideology (that decreed that the death of their parents was a good thing)
just socialist things

I've always known that helping other people is fascism.
1 newcomer_ts 2019-02-18
Unironically, that's indeed a thing.
This is what Francis Fukuyama wrote The End of History and the Last Man.
In other words, it could be said that helping someone achieve certain "technical" goal without, at the same time, helping someone morally progress will have negative results.
Practically speaking, you can contain and manage ebola but if you cannot teach some average African not to fuck a monkey.

my uncle ted said the same thing
1 newcomer_ts 2019-02-18
Francis clearly picked it up from Ted.

I haven't seen an author get BTFO harder than Fukuyama in my lifetime

To be fair, everyone was high on victory. Hindsight is twenty-twenty.

At what point should a political theorist just kill themselves out of shame? I mean he's Japanese, I figured it would have happened already.
1 spookyguy109 2019-02-18
What is moral progress? That shit sounds like itโs built on about 100 assumptions that need to be critically examined.

1, The very first citation in the endnotes is Slate Star Codex. Too easy. 2. He looks exactly how one would expect him to 3. For the love of christ, is this entire paper just some tankie's C O P E mechanism after that time that r/neoliberal asked LateStageCapitalism to help the poor, resulting in a hall of fame hissy fit?
