I’m speechless

On a related note, it’s amusing how there’s a bit of a civil war they’re having over blaming Brandon for enabling Israel’s genocide, and blaming him for “funding” Hamas and not helping them enough. Going by the comments.

      Literally had my professor in a graduate program of political economy bring up Animal Farm as an example of important theoretical critique of communism. I had to avoid laughing because I need a letter of rec from this idiot someday.

        I think that the most interesting part of Animal Farm, is while it doesn’t portray communism or communist revolutions very accurately, it does portray liberal revolutions (particularly the American one) incredibly accurately. Everyone is equal under the law, except for us, who don’t have to actually pay our debts to anybody else, particularly the men who did the fighting for us and now we are buying up their cheap land, literally eating the livelihoods of the others.
