I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

    This is what happens when you refuse to actually engage with Marxism, or the points we make, then try to come up with your own reasoning for why we support who we do. I encourage you to actually try to understand communists in our own words.

      I do engage with Marxism. I’m a Marxist. What I don’t do is dickride Lenin. Why don’t you go back to calling yourself your old made-up term, Marxist-Leninist. Funny how you drop the l in ml as soon as it conflicts with your ego.

        Nice bit of homophobia there. I do call myself a Marxist-Leninist, in matters where I believe it’s more generally applicable to Marxism and not Marxism-Leninism I identify as such. Like, I’m not going to describe the law of value as a Marxist-Leninist thing, that’s something general to Marxists. I also have no idea what you mean by Marxism-Leninism being “made-up,” it’s by far the most historically and currently relevant branch of Marxism with by far the largest number of practicing communists worldwide.

          Hey I don’t know your gender. Dickriding in my experience is a gender-neutral sport.

            I display that I use he/they pronouns, and further using dickriding as an insult purely has roots in homophobia and misogny. It focuses on sexual shame in submission to someone with a dick.

                Are you allergic to making a coherent point? You’re narrowing in on the fact that I called out your homophobia, and are now doubling and tripling down on it, rather than returning to the other points I made. This is just shit-flinging.

                    Using sexual acts normally performed by gay bottoms or heterosexual women as an insult, ie dicksucking or dickriding, has historically drawn on societal shame towards these groups. If it wasn’t meant to demean me, and instead is something you meant in a positive way, then that goes against what you’re trying to say. The opposite is true, you’re relying on the history of homophobia and misogyny to depict me as shameful and submissive, in a negative way.

                    We could have had a conversation about Lenin, but instead you quadrupled down defending your own bad behavior.
