• You believe artistic expression that does not glorify the State is subversive behavior.

• You believe exercising any form of personal privacy is subversive behavior

• You believe it is theft (and subversive behavior) when someone else makes a profit from your labor, even though they pay you fair-market wages.

• You believe personal property should be abolished, and that no one should own anything, including their own bodies.

• You believe you are entitled access to free clothing, free education, free food, free housing, and free medical care from the State (e.g., the Bureaucracy) even if it is all sub-standard; but you will accept having to wait in line for days to receive any of it.

And these are just my personal favorite; there are plenty of other inane stereotypes in that thread, and this wonderfully mindnumbing caricature:

Obviously, Marx was a naïve idealist – ignorant of human nature and unhappy with the lack of free handouts he mistakenly believed he deserved for just being alive.

Look around. Capitalism works for those who know how to work it, and who are both willing and able to do so. The rest would become proletariat drones under any of the real-world “Communist” systems mentioned before (if they were allowed to live). Even Karl Marx was a slacker who lived off the wealth of others – I doubt that he would have survived in a real-world Communist state, or been happy in a real-world anarcho-syndicalist state.

Unsurprisingly, there is a grand total of zero citations in that thread, so it looks more like adults playing around than people attempting to have a meaningful discussion.

ETA:

• “Real” Communists are actually State Socialists currently living in Feudal Empires (e.g., China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, and Vietnam).

    You don’t get to call capitalism “subversive” when the last thing it subverted died 200 years ago. It’s like saying the steam engine is “disrupting” current industry practices

      What brilliance it is to violently cling onto the decaying tool of capitalism when humanity has a much younger, sharper alternative right in front of us in the form of socialism.

      We might as well have never invented anything if we are so unwilling to move forward as a species. “We”(stern and comprador governments), that is. There is an alternative.
