What did the New York Times mean by this...

Mein gott,
How do you miss the point this hard and intentionally?
There is no prophecy that fulfills itself, and ignoring the way the mode of production you live in affects how you think and act on an internal level is idiocy. You say no Marxist criticizes the USSR and other socialist states, but on the contrary we always do; and one of the very criticisms most adept would be the same one lobbed at the liberal publication this whole thread is about. That in their revolution, the past socialist movements still essentially carried them out with a capitalist ideological goal in mind and internalized. That instead of using the materialist outlook of Marx, they did instead cling to his exact commentary on capitalism during his time and hero worship. Yes most Marxists do not even grasp the philosophical implications of Marx and therefore while using his name and bare empiricist analysis and interpretation of his words, mistake the point. The point being that Marx wasn’t right on everything, and that ruthless criticism should be lobbied at both ourselves and everything that exists.

It teaches them that "Communism is cool and all but Capitalism is better". Everytime.

Daily reminder this is what bourgeois media looks like in the times of a revolution. Between 1918 and 1920, among a fuckton of other lies, the New York Times reported literally 91 times that the Soviet government was about to fall.

it's about form and label, not content. nobody takes anything away from these articles. it's digital sign value but somehow even worse.
computers are stupid, algorithms are stupid, and because we let them nudge us around we are all stupid.

shitlibs think socialism is just an aggressive militant form of liberalism with like jean jackets and swears or something. they're incapable of thinking of a left outside of liberalism and so when they conceive of socialism, they think of it as the sort of elitist technocratic bullshit they already believe but on steroids. anyone who thinks they're allies is an idiot.
