    1. Since people were asking about this subtweet, let me un pack it a little. There used to be a magazine called Living Marxism which morphed in 1990s into Spiked and now Spiked-Online. They take money from Koch Bros & specialize in Climate Change denial & other rightwing causeshttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1147169748410609670 …

    It's hardly surprising that the dirtball left has been embraced by former Marxists who now specialize in climate denial and other forms of right-wing contrarianism.

        2. Spiked-Online just published this article celebrating the Anti-Woke Left (a.k.a. dirtbag left). I think that's telling because there are signs that dirtbag left will follow trajectory of Spiked (left to right): https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/07/04/meet-the-anti-woke-left/ …

        3. I'll add that the problem with the dirtbag left is not that it's offensive but that it's lazy. I mean, the sort of shock humor it specializes in is a pretty low grade of comedy, one that's common to c-list stand-up.

        4. Comedy is based on social discomfort, the saying of the unsayable. So easy to get a laugh by using slur based on race, gender, sexual identity. The trick is to go beyond that easy laugh & explore the discomfort, as say Pryor did. But dirtbag humor is mostly at easy level

        Stalinism was always crypto-fascism, after all.

        Yes! To spell it out even more, Stalinism and its more modern incarnations is “Fascism, but for Communists”

        Kind of like Telos, for the non-theoretical set?

        Probably also worth noting the genocide denial that Living Marxism were practicing in the 90s
