Communism!! - Blog Posts
Look, a dangerous meme
Along with the rise of Tankies due to the US' teaching of Communist history, the biggest problem with the New Left is, largely, laziness and romanticism.
Many Leftists refuse the, to be frank, privilege, and responsibility, of going to the ballot box, instead opting for revolution, or, as one put it to me, 'burning down a walmart'. I do not wish to condemn those whose hearts are passionate enough to incite a revolution, yet I urge them not to cling to ideals; the idea of most European Countries having free (as free as you can get in Capitalism) elections would make Marx proud of our successes in our modicum of progress, as imperfect as it is, yet I see so many openly doing away with the work of our lost comrades.
I say also to those who refuse the ballot that we fulfill more responsibilities when voting than merely voting from reverence and fear, rather, we vote for those who may be affected in the victory of our opposition. Therefore, when we vote to save our comrades, we not only save them, but we also may gain a sibling in arms, whereas, if we disregard their interests in lieu of idealism, we may lose them as a comrade; we may lose a fighter in a revolution.
I also implore those who refrain from 'burning the walmart' to also consider direct action, for these our tools that must be used in tandem
Thus, by voting we not only allow ourselves time to prepare for Fascism, but we also have the potential to save live, and aid the revolution.
Anarchists of all types ( except SOME ), would you please tell me the easiest way to be acquainted with your specific ideology.
Honestly I think automation will make socialism inevitable like how the industrial revolution led to the rise of capitalism and liberalism
Yet... The most successful capitalist is one of the dumbest and most immature people in the world.
And Einstein supported socialism just saying.
Only the lowest IQs support communism. That's why they insist idiots are just as good as geniuses. They are idiots who believe no one is better than them.
I am imploring everyone who sees this to read the notes. Probably the funniest stuff I've read today.
also, i know we all started as baby pirates yadda yadda but i think we should all stop to hammer in the fact that maybe openly sharing piracy resources on an app that is widely known to be under heavy surveillance is not the best idea if we want our resources to survive. i can only imagine how hyped the kiddies on tiktok were to share this brilliant new resource with the community and it's entirely due to the fact that companies and the government succeed in making us forget the fact that EVERYTHING we post on major social media is under surveillance. first and foremost, before you share piracy resources with a new crowd, hammer in the fact that sharing these resources openly and publicly is absolutely not a good idea in the capitalist age of surveillance.
This is going to be a Christian based post so if you're not interested in reading a leftist opinion based on Christian beliefs, I invite you to just keep scrolling
I don't know how a human person can look in the eye of an oppressed person and then act in a way that continues to oppress them. The main example I'm thinking about is when the local government voted against a bill that would allow control of assault rifles WHILE SURVIVORS OF THE PARKLAND SHOOTING (literal children no less) WERE IN THE ROOM WATCHING THEM. Furthermore, an incredibly high percentage of people in power claim to be Christians, but lack even the most basic forms of empathy, one of the most fundamental parts of Christianity (and pretty much every other religion / belief system / moral compass??). How can you say you love Jesus, whose only interactions with rich people involved him telling them to sell all they had and give to the poor (the only exceptions being with those who crucified him), and then vote, lobby or otherwise advocate for policies that disenfranchise the poor?
The Acts 2 church is the epitome of the church as far as every Christian I know says, and Acts 2 says: "And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need." James 5 starts with a warning to rich people that their wealth is worthless and they will be condemned for the evils they commit just for being rich (including not paying their workers fairly) beginning with "Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you" and then continues with an encouragement for poor people to not give up on the faith because their endurance will be rewarded. How can you read these passages and think that being rich is a good thing actually?
In my limited research for this short post I found multiple articles about how being rich is inherently good, one of which was literally titled "Jesus loves rich people." Like okay, technically Jesus does love everyone period, but to excuse your exorbitant wealth that you absolutely don't need while billions of people are barely surviving so that you can be Comfortable+ (which Jesus himself and various other apostles and significant figures condemn explicitly) based on that technicality? Inexcusable.
While class warfare is one of the greatest threats we face across the board, other forms of systematic oppression (which are rooted therein) are still prevalent and need to be fought. To bring a couple things into perspective, Jesus was a brown Palestinian Jew whose mother was married to a man that was not his father (who were both teenagers) who all "illegally" sought asylum in Egypt while fleeing from a government that was trying to kill them. And that just scratches the surface. Furthermore, Jesus himself said "Then he [the Father] will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.' Then they also will answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?' Then he will answer them, saying, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.' And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
You brood of vipers. You say you love Jesus and yet you hoard wealth and disenfranchise the vulnerable. I haven't even touched on many other problems but they're evident in the Bible if you pay attention at all. Let go of what you've been taught all your life and embrace the teaching of the one who is infinitely wise and drank the cup of the wrath of God so you could be free. He said to love your neighbor, so why do you hate everyone but yourself?
your hammer and sickle are no better than swastika to us.
it does not happen legally in America and plenty of other healthier countries, and I thought you pro choice types would support lives sacrificed for the greater good 👀 also you're quick to judge a conservative nation which really conservatism just means reserved; but want to ignore that Hitler was a communist which is an extreme way of socialism yay Bernie. pretty sure AMERICAN traditions are far different than Iran's.
Darling, I dont think Hitler was a communist. He was as Authoritarian as one, but had completely different ideas on how the market should be run. In fact, he felt threatened by communists and they were the first people he sent to camps and killed. I sure hope you made a typo and you meant Stalin, so that is what I will assume. Bernie believes in a more socialized society, not a communist one. He is a less extreme Stalin/communist, but if you use that argument Trump is just a less extreme Hitler/nazi. It goes both ways.

I’m very annoyed with the fact that American news networks only really share the American death toll, 582K, as if Americans are the only ones that matter. It’s just more of our America-centric bullshit. The global death toll is over 3.31M. Let me repeat that. The global death toll is over 3.31 MILLION. 3,310,000. That’s how many people have died. Because Americans, believe it or not, are not the only people in the world.
