“You only support communism because you’re sheltered and don’t know how the real world works.” Inevitably said by spoiled imperial core treat fiends who haven’t opened a history book since high school.

“You only support socialism because you want free stuff” What, do you not want free stuff? What do you have against free stuff?

or “communism only works in theory” said with no sense of self reflection as capitalism does a sick triple backfip off a cliff

Any of the “echo chamber” bullshit that they love, for 2 reasons:

1 - It literally just refers to any online group that broadly agree with each other, but they don’t agree with you. They broadly like each other, but not you. They value each other’s perspectives, but not yours. It’s literally just “I’m getting rejected and I don’t like it.”

2 - directed against communists in particular, it’s just absurd. The vast, overwhelming majority of communists on this earth live in capitalist countries. They literally have more exposure in their day-to-day, moment-to-moment lives to capitalism and the liberal bullshit that “justifies” it, than they do to their own beliefs. Even online, communists and communist focused communities are a fucking unicorn, most spaces are liberal shitholes.

“My family suffered under [given iron curtain government], you’re a bastard for believing in that ideology”

Well maybe they were too soft, since you’re still around, you fucking fascist.

Calling someone a “red fasc” is one of those insults that makes sense when you hear it, but makes no sense when you think about history for two seconds

maybe not an insult but i love (hate) when lib article titles are like “so and so BRUTALLY DESTROYS some nerd” and it’s just like a strongly worded letter and nothing else happens

“I was expecting a battle of wits, but you seem to be unprepared.”

These or rough equivalents…

• “People don’t understand how politics works.” / “You don’t understand how politics works.”

• “What do you want __________ to do?” The fill-in-the-blank is Biden or whoever.

• “Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.”

• “Do you want Trump to win?” / “This helps Trump.” / etc.

Step aside Hexbear children, Adult in the Room taking charge here.

I like when they can’t even process what to say anymore, so they start doing smug redditor voice at you. “Oh dear, lacking in both emotional and general intelligence. Such a combo!” or “Ah yes, quite a robust display of edgy, uneducated ignorance from our resident temperamental leftist. Does your pharmacist know your prescriptions are running low?” I would respect them so much more if they’d just say something more like “you’re trash and you suck, fuck you.” Instead they have to act like they’re some professor at a podium mocking an unruly student.

Honestly most of the time when a liberal insults me it’s either straight ableism or they do some moral grandstanding about democracy or etiquette. They get so prissy pants sometimes. “Can you please stay on topic? I never even mentioned “first world crackers” and I don’t know why you’re using such brutish words with me.”

“Economics 101” yeah and taking Biology 101 doesn’t qualify me to understand or critique an argument between two brain surgeons so shut the fuck up when somebody is telling you aren’t “doing capitalism” when you go to the store to buy celery you fucking nerd.

A really nauseating one used by succdems is when they accuse the left of being a bunch of students/academics/elites/wokes etc. who have no connection to workers, unlike the succdems themselves who really knows what they want down at the smoke and sparks factory (it’s racism and reactionary culture war bullshit).

“Tankie”

I think it’s cause I just post here and nowhere else online, this just doesn’t happen to me. Also generally speaking liberals are too decorum brained for insults which makes them pathetic weeny lovers, name calling and personal attacks are based. IRL, where I do speak to liberals trying to agitate at work and whatever, it’s shooting fish in a barrel, there aren’t many dedicated liberals working in a kitchen and exactly how hard you work vs your pay is reeeeeeal easy to see when you’re making food, ordering food and doing the costing, the last bit of math is the sum of your wages, it’s pretty fucking clear pretty fast. After that all you have to do is also be anti imperialist and be good at explaining history going back 10 years or sometimes as much as the early 20th century but that shit should be easy if you’re a communist. Don’t speak to liberals online, irl they’re absolutely fuckjng paralyzed. If you’re even sort of okay at rhetoric they will fold like superman on laundry day.
