    I mean it was a bunch of rural folk trying to slaughter those in civilised society for imagined slights, so I guess. The lesson is “don’t fight and die for the institution of slavery” though.

      The “imagined slights” of warlord era China? Lol.

      Cultural Revolution Maoism, sure, other than the fact it was students doing it at the urging of the army and not farmers.

      Pretty sure that’s a shitpost though.

    I mean, this is all the proof you need that ML is a Russian disinfo campaign designed to make leftists jump the horseshoe, so to speak. There is no value in analyzing the CSA from a leftist perspective, such rhetoric only benefits, and drives recruitment to, the far right.

    I mean, they rebelled against the evil US, so can we really knock them? They were definitely opposed to hegemony.

    Sure, the Confederacy had slaves, but the US had capitalism, which is a form of slavery. So, bOtH sIdEs were bad.

      It could be Poe’s law. I checked the profile and it’s a nazbol.

      Yeah the more I go through the profile the more it turns out it is ACP nazbol scum. Lots of Jackson Hinkle retweets and Dugin references.

    Well, if not being enslaved is a bourgeois individualist ideal, then the confederacy’s only ideological crime was not enslaving enough of its population. But, hey, nobody’s perfect.
