“China isn’t real Socialism because they have billionaires and corporations”

“Nordic Socialism is a better form of Socialism than Marxism-Leninism, because it’s democratic and happiness is high in those countries”

Meanwhile, China has democratic elections and scores high on citizen happiness, and the Nordic countries also have billionaires and corporations. China has a ML government, while the Nordic countries are capitalist. Make it make sense.

I think I found this image on Reddit when I still used that horrid site. I believe it was in a post where someone was showing off their Metro-inspired airsoft RPK.

I should change the banner image at some point, but I don’t know what would fit best

It’s like this specific type of person thinks their 2-hour Wikipedia dive and their high school required reading of 1984 makes them more knowledgeable than comrades who’ve spent large blocks of their lives reading obscure tomes they found while crypt-diving on Marxists.org.

These total losers will come into any community that’ll have them, then spout the most milquetoast, regurgitated takes on subjects they’ve never honestly researched. Then lose their pants in rage when their benign tomfoolery is returned to them by people who actually know the history or theory in question. Their only political education is on par with The History Channel, virtually a kindergartener trying to correct someone with a doctorate. This is the intellectual equivalent to street fighters, who think they’re big and tough because they never actually train in a specific martial art and happen to win against fellow losers, then who step into a real martial arts academy thinking they’ll easily challenge the instructor and win, then get their asses handed to them.

I think most people who read this will agree, these people are the greatest laughingstocks on the left. Funnier than most anarchists, a bigger hoot than any shitlib. The only value these people have is the crux of a joke. Otherwise, they’re a waste of bandwidth.

This time on ‘left-liberal thinks they’ll get approved to access a controlled forum by admitting to being a bad faith actor who wants to start unproductive debates’

I know the Winnie the Poo one was racism mixed with “communism is when government bans things” propaganda.

Winnie the Poo is not banned in China, nor was it ever (to my knowledge). The entire meme of it came from people (mostly white racists) claiming that Xi Jinping looked like the character on sites like Reddit and 4Chan, then on the same sites they claimed the meme was banned in China and was being suppressed by Reddit’s moderation (it wasn’t). Thus creating an urban myth that not only was the meme of Xi photoshopped next to Winnie banned, but Winnie the Poo as a character was also banned.

This whole thing comes down to Sinophobia, and the racist desire to believe anything that’s being said about China.

honestly, our account application requests keep most of them out. Also, the community’s reporting of rule breakers does a lot.

The true heroes here are y’all.

and while the dollars of the vassals diminish in value, favours in exchange for the emperor’s dollars becomes more attractive.

The more they tank their kin, the more power they wield.

one of the things I love so much about European bands with military vibes, is that so often their western fans assume they’re far-right, but in interviews and in their music they provide arguments for the far-left. Like for instance, most Americans will assume Rammstein are a Nazi-esque band, but they have a song called “links” based on the DDR party song, and have said in an interview that their hearts “belong to the left”.

“Western Leftism” is more or less the leftism of the US, the UK, and of Bourgeois countries in general. Generally, it leans into libertarian ideals, the majority of Anarchist and Libertarian ideologies come from Western countries, and the majority of them refuse to accept Marxist-Leninist or non-western ideologies. The vaaaaaaaaaast majority of WL idealize anti-communist propaganda and blindly trust in authors like Orwell. They strongly fought against “Soviet Socialism”, as well they’re currently joining in the charge against the PRC.

There are people who think of papa joe as a god (or otherwise as a flawless creature) but they’re primarily Nazbols, edgy teens, people who are new to leftism and still have the liberal “my political hero is without fault because they’re my hero” mentality, or are mostly joking and just kinda doubled down on it after arguing with Anarchists.

They’re many steps away from the vast majority of Marxists, Marxist-Leninists, Maoists, and other such folk who get called “tankie” when the Anarchos want to deflect instead of discussing. “tankie” is honestly just a slur, and only just shows how little Anarchists understand about the world.

it seems like a loooooooooooot of hoi4 mods are made by right-wing assholes who think communism is when the government kills people for no reason and steals all the grain for themselves, and that gets real fuckin annoying.
