The most patronizing thing modern communists say wrt Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Ho Chi Minh when they speak good about the US revolution is that "they didn't have the same access to information as we do now." Like Marx didn't live at the same time as US slavery.

I love Bob Dylan so much

Men today listen to heavy metal but can't walk up five flights of stairs while dudes in the 40s storming beaches under mortar fire listened to falsetto lyrics like "I've got blueberries, in a knaaapsack for twooo" by Artie Miller and his Big Gay Band

Closest definition for "post-modernity" imo- is the post-historical electric condition of simultaneity- in which we have people who are essentially cognitive cavemen alongside everything from "Weed Buddhas" to "Simulation/Video Game Gnostics" to "Ultramontanist Twitter Templars."
