It doesn’t matter how long you make them read Lenin and break rocks in the gulag, the second you let them out they’ll see an AI generated meme from a CIA holdout posting from a bunker somewhere and immediately revert to being a burgerbrained fash.

I think we need to just dump them on an island somewhere and put them under continuous naval blockade and internet blackout till they revert to a Hunter gather society.

    I think it’s disputed that Mao actually said

    Communism is not love. Communism is a hammer which we use to crush the enemy

    Like the Lenin weeks-decades thing. But I always think that quote is wrong. Communism is love. From Che Guevara

    At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality

    And boy is that love a hammer we use to crush the enemy.

    From the meeting between both in 1960

    Guevara: A point in Chairman Mao’s works is found by Fidel [Castro] to be very important, which I failed to notice at the beginning. That is to treat war prisoners generously: to cure their wounds and send them back. [We] realized this point which helped very much [in our struggle].

    Mao: This is the way to disintegrate enemy troops.
