That "anti-debate" quote from Lenin about Kautsky as "traitor to the working class" is fake
archive.ph
The "why should we bother to reply to Kautsky" quote is fake. If Lenin said this, it's not recorded anywhere. In reality, it was very likely fabricated by a conservative pundit to pretend that Lenin hated debate.

Apologies if everyone knew this and it was a sitewide bit but I did not and now I feel kinda gross for having used it

EDIT: Converted to an archive link out of concerns about direct linking to reactionary site, mea culpa

To clarify: this is NOT the silly letter quote, that was very real

      We have both - seeing this one (or maybe a variation on it) this morning was what prompted me to actually go find the source, I was curious. Is there anywhere to see a list of taglines?
