the guy says, “Do you like Marx?”
I said, “I haven’t met him.”
Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.”
“Wow, what happened?”I’ll be using this
i didnt even know he was sick
He was sick 🤘🤘🤘🎸🎶
“Wow. I didn’t know that, you’re telling me now for the first time”
I had a similar experience, sans jail and FBI. During a family gathering, I argued with my father that poor people should not be poor and jobs exploit us all. He’s like “this sounds just like some run of the mill Marx and Engels”.
So then I read Marx and Engels and now I want to destroy the West
“He wrote that poor people should not be poor.”
I said, “Sounds amazing.”
Yes, but at what cost?
He wrote that poor people should not be poor
i thought the feds were supposed to have a better understanding of marxism than this smh my head this who we lost to???
It’s crazy that this is what they believe they’re fighting to stop. “I’m on this mission because poor people should be poor.”
yeah it really is insane, marxists are saying “yo morals aside society is just way way less efficient being run this way, it is in the self interests of the vast majority of society aside from those who literally own factories to do away with money/state/class” and our opponents are crying themselves to sleep when an orphan has a hot meal and safe place to sleep at night
Wait, maybe they also mentioned the no iPhone thing
thats what they say to an average amerikkkan, but if the feds are trying to press a suspected commie and then use an argument like this it makes me think the feds arent including socialism: utopian and scientific in their curriculum which makes me sad that we still cant beat them despite that
Someone I know read Masters Of Deceit: The Story Of Communism In America And How To Fight It by J. Edgar Hoover and funny enough set him on the path of becoming a communist. Said that after slogging through the droll and dull dipshittery of most of the book and you see what the then-leader of the FBI was describing the menace of American communists posed, it was basic shit like “they joined unions and helped fight for workers rights” or “they thought it was a crime against humanity that poor people were starving in the U.S”
here’s an excerpt of that right-wing crank’s book
“The Party has operated hundreds of major fronts in practically every field of Party agitation: ‘peace,’ civil rights, protection of the foreign-born, support for (political) ‘victims,’ abolition of H-bomb tests, exploitation of nationality and minority groups.”
Shit those don’t sound too bad now, actually. Anyone that isn’t a fucking demon would be suspected of being a filthy red then. If you went out and did red charity. If you went down south to fight against Jim Crow. If you helped shelter black families as they migrated from the south to greener pastures across the U.S. If you didn’t want to set the world on fire. Anything and anyone that works to improve humanity is considered an enemy of the united states and a communist.
I think I’m going to start pressing the people in my life when they call me a commie for doing something (completely detached from politics) they don’t like
It’s time
Communism must be good if it pisses you so much
This is how people keep finding Hexbear
Ngl that’s how I found r/CTH back in the day too, saw someone complain about how it was even more radical than LSC
“Go back to chapotraphouse, tankie!”
“What’s a chapotraphouse, and what’s a tankie?”
-the reddit exchange that unironically altered the trajectory of my life
Hey that’s how I found it too! (and even after being on that subreddit for a while I still had no idea what chapotraphouse actually was)
I’ve still never listened to the podcast
me neither, but i’ve heard an awful lot about it
just the other day one of the lemmys had a post that pictured us as the elephant graveyard “where the light does not touch” from the lion king
I saw that. I’m getting tired of the lies surrounding Hexbear…for example the one that we are anti trans.
Marxism was a psyop by the feds the entire time i fuckin knew it
This exact story was also just on the latest chapo, this guy’s son is running for mayor of NYC now as a demsucc. small world (or this post was inspired by that)
I find it kinda funny how disconnected chapotraphouse the community and Chapo Trap House the podcast have become that this seems like a coincidence
People say this, but Chapo talks about a thing and then suddenly all the spaces that used to be Chapo spaces start talking about whatever they said.
the twitter post could be coincidence, I have no idea if that guy is a chapo head
but if the same was posted here I would assume they heard it on chapo
I don’t hate chapo but I’m glad we aren’t so focused on it anymore, its just not that interesting being like “oh that felix bit was hysterical”, “oh will’s trump impression is bad” multiple times a week for 5-10 years. I still listen when I feel like it, but its not my whole political universe, thank god
