It’s not so insane when you realize that Bush and his cronies admitted that a “Pearl Harbor level disaster” would have to happen for the Amerikan public to accept the militarization and invasions in the middle east that they were planning years before 9/11 even happened.


Only kinda related but it’s weird that marxists let the libertarians take over the 9/11 truth movement. I heard that communists used to be apart of it very early on.




I’m honestly scared of being up in high buildings where you can clearly see outside, I get paranoid about the prospect of somehow falling to death. That Hong Kong apartment building gave me that paranoia.



I’d be willing to become a mod for this place. I’m very familiar with the subject matter.





Isn’t Chapo even worse with the brocialism? I heard the hosts once harassed a woman on Twitter with rape threats or rape jokes.


I’ve never liked any of these “dirtbag left” guys. It seems like a very desperate (and frankly pathetic) attempt to try to get the South Park crowd into communism.

That kind of thing will lead to all kinds of class reductionist brocialism.



Yeah the videos on his second channel where he dunks on liberals is peak vegging out content. I also agree with his take that westerners should move to the third world to help the revolution and I intend to do just that now.



That was my first thought.

HAVEN’T THESE FUCKERS LEARNT ANYTHING FROM LAST TIME???




After making this post I decided to intentionally try to get myself banned off of there. It worked. Owning libs rules!






Why not target people who are “apolitical” instead?







Why do liberals even watch the Deprogram?

Yeah the first chapter of Origin of the Family is Engels regurgitating “race science” that was used as justification for colonialism.


They wanna maintain the image of “politeness” so Trump being mask off makes them mad because someone isn’t playing along.



I once saw someone on there trying to defend Caleb Maupin.


Español and 日本語. I’m thinking about learning русский too but the first two are the main priority for me atm.


How interesting. The writer seems not to like Marxism, yet responded in a very Marxist way. Just look at that final paragraph.


Are Zapatistas MLs?
I've heard conflicting things about their political orientation.


Both countries are nazi countries, what did you expect?


Me and the homies stan internationalism.



Why is Rye assuming that decolonization automatically means deporting the settlers? You know Vaush literally made that same error too, right?


I wonder how Vaush is gonna try to justify it this time.


Which Mestizos are settlers and which Mestizos are indigenous?

But all I hear about postmodernism is how it’s really idealistic and individualistic. Postmodern thinkers tend to reject “putting people into labels” which inevitably invariably includes class.


Jacques Derrida’s anticommunist activism.

Thanks for the explanation, comrade.


I frankly don’t like it because people will just be pacified by watching a fictional revolution because then they can just consume product and be wrapped up in feel good emotions than feel compelled to actually do the hard, unglamorous work that comes with being a revolutionary.

There’s also the issue of anti-capitalism in the first world leaning more towards Anarchism than Marxist-Leninism, caused by the fact that a lot of anti-capitalist fiction tries really hard to emphasize the “good” of hyper-individualism.
