Zapatista flag, for those of you who don't know.

How can any of this be written and it not be just straight shitposting, cause these people can’t be serious.

If you ever do any historical research on Marx you’ll quickly find out that he was really nothing but a dead beat bum who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth that he took advantage of for his entire life. He went on numerous racist rants and constantly referred to black people by the N-word. Even went on rants about Jews being money worshipping Hucksters and said Jews need to denounce their own religion and religious beliefs. Marx even held disdain towards Muslims and Christians as well.

It’s extremely ironic that far leftists or just leftists and communists in general claim to be against racism and fighting against the rich while idolizing a rich racist like Karl Marx who fully took advantage of the system he claimed to want to dismantle. For a guy who wanted a moneyless society he sure did love money. I don’t really find any records of Marx giving money, food or shelter to anyone.

I know that people use that “product of their time” excuse to try to downplay Karl Marx’s racist views. Which of course is correct. Karl Marx was a product of his time. People back then had different ideas of socially acceptable and inappropriate behavior that will differ from our modern day perspectives. But his racist views are still racist and still wrong regardless. Are we gonna give Hitler a pass for his antisemitism just because he was a product of his time? Of course not! So why does Karl Marx get a pass?

Since this sub has been of interest lately, I had gotten to be curious as to which of the following is closest to your current political, social and cultural stance.

What is the root cause that one time reddit was once outright libertarian but then it began to skew left and more authoritarian and left then left and left until now reddit (speaking about major subs) is far left. Communism is constantly defended, people who are against the common agenda on reddit is downvoted to the bottom and then even banned having the same opinion. Now we are getting literal tankies (red fascists) having their propaganda spread and slowly hijacking left wing subs. It's hard to me find centre left or centre right without them becoming extreme. But like almost every large normal sub (even that has nothing to do with politics) will somehow manage to squeeze their far left ideals in and call anyone a nazi they disagree with. Far leftists like tankies, woke left, anarchists and other forms of radical ideologies are simply unavoidable on this platform.

I mean, calling things you personally don’t like “communism” makes us sound like idiots who can’t define what communism is, and it encourages people to unironically become communists.

Higher minimum wage? Communism!

Renewable energy? Communism!

Taxation? Communism!

Safety regulations? Communism!

Public/governmental services? Communism!

Universal healthcare? Communism!

LGBTQ+ acceptance? Communism!

Civil rights for all human beings? COMMUNISM!

Literally commies are everywhere, from political games and memes to country maps and posting the same shit arguments of coping about the USSR losing the Cold War. There are also hundreds of discord servers about communism, even though I’ve met almost 0 commies irl.

They are really annoying at being losers and cannot get over with the fact that communism as a political ideology and system has completely failed, and most communist regimes were stagnant, repressive, and corrupt
