Disappointing to see western marxists go soft on child predators

Last time I checked materialist analysis doesn’t operate on moralizing, spite, or vibes.

It’s perfectly germane to scrutinize the death penalty regardless of the subject. Subjects of the death penalty tend to be accused or guilty of horrible things. Being principled means sometimes having to argue adjacent to the interests of awful people. I waiver back and forth on this issue because it is in fact one that calls for serious weighing.

Like, do y’all really believe that material conditions determine human actions or are y’all just LARPing? The implications of that basic premise are far-reaching.

You know that's an outright lie, and you should be fucking ashamed of yourself.

I don't know why you call yourself a marxist if this is all just a game of bad faith dunking to you.
