    Could just as easily be “Orientalists when they realize they use Arabic numerals”

    This is actually a self-own more than anything else. They take a political position for an ideological position, showing they know little of communists. (The idea of systemic economic progression)

      It’s a bit of a shocker for some people to hear that marxists supported some librul bourgeois revolutions because yeah, capitalism is more progressive than feudalism. It has just become a fair bit more nuanced in our times when “liberalization” of a country probably means it becoming enslaved to some country in the imperialist core, probably the US.

    “capitalists when they realize that they talked about their ‘hard work’ when the work is done by people who has ‘work’ in their class name”

    I despise the capitalization of “I” in the English language. It’s believed it’s all because Geoffrey Chaucer didn’t like how “i” looked when he wrote the Canterbury Tales in the 13th/14th century and since it was apparently a big deal back then it just stick and more and more writers started doing it. Fucking jackass.
