    The only detail that makes this an obvious joke, instead of something an extremely online western ironydamaged ““leftist”” would post, is putting Deng and Mao in the same tier. They would choose one and put the other in F

        yeah i can definitely see some really edgy teenage “leftist” thinking both Gonzalo and Mussolini were “based” and “fighting for the proletariat” (after reading their wikipedia pages and watching a lot of garbage youtube videos and hanging out on leftypol-esque boards etc), but dismising Marx as “outdated” and “no working class man will ever read that much bullshit about fabrics, who cares, guy never even ran a country”

        also this imaginary guy’s opinion on Zizek keeps getting higher every year

          The Marx in F tier but Engels in S tier is absolute chefs-kiss

            That Marx guy is some decrepit philosopher no one cares about who yaps for 4 volumes. Engels on the other hand makes some good points. /s

        I was looking at this like “I know this is a joke, but I have unironically seen tier lists like this” unfortunately. The sort of person who is going to make a “tier list” of socialist leaders/thinkers is probably not someone with a good grasp of socialist thought or dialectical materialism and operates mostly on vibes.

          I tried to make it so incoherent it wouldn’t resemble anything a real human would create. Then again, if I posted this on a more public platform I might have some people who would agree with it.
