Cmon Brett. I hate tankies as much as the next guy but some Maoists are just misguided but with their hearts in the general vicinity of the right place.
yes I think it is stupid to accuse people of being inherently good or bad based on some kind of nominal political association; one might as well replace “Maoists” with “Liverpool supporters” or what have you.
“How much Maoism did you drink?”
“*hic* Sparrows are a tool of the oppressive Capitalist class.”
“You need to stop drinking that stuff, man. You get evil when you’re drunk.”
“Shutup… Liverpooool. You jusht can’t handle… a little Communishm.”
