Lenin and Co became the ruling class, and proved to be worse at managing the place than the people they replaced.

How do you beat the fucking tzar

[snarkleharkle]

Not just the Tsar. The Tsar who didn't want to be Tsar, was an idecisive bumbling fool, who wanted to be a farmer.

this appears to be "a coat"

[mentallydatingahotcelebrity]

It's literally a *checks notes* military issue greatcoat. Which EVERY MILITARY SINCE 1900 (when this style gained popularity) has developed and copied and perfected over time.

British military officers circa 1940

"Tweedleland" add circa 1916 for WW1 "trench coat".

1940s US Army air force "warm coat"/trench coat/greatcoat

What the Gestapo over coat/fancy dress ACTUALLY looked like.

And finally, a double breasted long wool coat which any average joe can buy off Amazon.

Pewdiepie put on a British Officers uniform to test on whether people would actually be stupid enough to call him a Nazi and they took the bait with flying colors, great to see people just never, ever learn anything.

[teaboot]

I just reada really good fic but halfway through I realized "oh shit this is really familiar.... didn't I write something like this once?" And as I kept reading I kept predicting what happened next and the further I went the more convinced I was that they'd ripped off my story-

like, copied the ENTIRE plot and re-written it, just better than I had? The characters were more fleshed-out than mine were, and the POV was more interesting, and the pace made more sense- but it was MY STORY?

So close to the end I was like "holy shit.. do I message them? Ask if my story inspired theirs? Should I be angry? Flattered?" Cause their tags and description didn't mention me AT ALL, which, sure, it's fanfiction to begin with, but if you're using my work than at least credit me as inspo, right? Just to be courteous?

But I get to the end of the final chapter, and it's not finished, and I'm kind of disappointed cause I never finished my story and I was really immersed in their version now and had been looking forwards to seeing how they tied up my loose ends- so I scroll to the bottom to leave a comment, and.

It's MY URL.

IT WAS MY STORY THE WHOLE TIME.

THE ONE *I WROTE*.

In *2013*.

And FORGOT ABOUT

BECAUSE I WAS SO INSECURE ABOUT MY SLOPPY, SHALLOW, AMETEUR WRITING

And I'm just sitting here now staring into space thinking about every shitty story I've ever written now like

IT WAS ALL GOOD?

IT WAS GOOD THIS WHOLE DAMN TIME??

I'M A GOOD WRITER?????

i’m sorry but as a society we need to agree to use headphones in public and stop having speakerphone conversations in public and just in general behave like sensible human beings in public and maybe learn to stop staring at our phones while we’re walking

[lapetitemorticia]

lol thx but no thx. i’m not talking any louder on the phone than I would be to a friend i was walking next to nor is the voice coming out of the phone any louder than any of the other voices around you. i got auditory processing problems and i ain’t changing my ways.

[puffy-sphere]

Anti communist propaganda is not about providing or chunking in depth critique or ideas or even to make you like capitalism but instead to make you apathetic

To make the liberal who's at their ropes end with capitalism look to communism and decide "well they're just as bad if not worse (assuming they believe myths) than us, I guess authority and corruption are integral to society".

At which point they either turn their brain off and go back to reactionary critiques with no end goal or they become an anarchist and really think they are doing anything by living alone or with a small no violent commune. But eventually they grow up into jaded apathetic elders.

But maybe if they are apathetic enough they grow up to be wealthy, not enough for getting by or a family or for commodities but just to have more than they need so they are finally the petit bourgeois and they say love capitalism but by that point the propaganda isn't for them, its what they will peddle.

The only honest critique of communism is that the rich dont get richer

[socialjusticefail]

Have you paid attention to history to see what has actually happened under communism?

The Soviet Union had massive problems with having enough food.

[brazenautomaton]

"It's not my fault that the only thing you have to do to make anti-Communist propaganda is open a history book and read it out loud."

[puffy-sphere]

To describe the science that is history as an immutable law that is unchanging and not the product of different sources speaking as a discordant orchestra of opposing views that may be cherry picked is an insult to the field

Science doesn't exist to support you endlessly, if it does, your sources are flawed.

[brazenautomaton]

I'm sorry that people wrote down what Communists did. That must be very hard for you.

[puffy-sphere]

Once again you knowingly or not have avoided thinking critically and have fallen back on old tired cliches as your belief, here i was thought that communists were supposed to be the brainwashed ones but I've spent this whole time going over my thoughts while you can only bring quippy come backs on repetition

Plus what about the historical and personal accounts that the quality of life for millions has been raised by communism or are those accounts not important because they're "brainwashed". Are your hands tired from all the cherry picking?

When you learn enough about history you either become a marxist or a liar

[brazenautomaton]

What thoughts? You've just repeated the same assertions.

If Communism is so perfect, why did it lose? Why was capitalism able to undermine and defeat it when Communism was unable to do the same? Shouldn't the immortal dialectical science of history be better at changing the material conditions of reality? If Communism is the inevitable end-state of history and capitalism is doomed to collapse under its own contradictions, how was capitalism so much better at accomplishing its goals than Communism? If capitalism is doomed to inefficiency because of waste and hoarding wealth, and a command economy is obviously more efficient, why did capitalism outproduce Communism by so very, very much?

[puffy-sphere]

Simple because the west hides its flaws and puts them on to communism which they spent 50 years fighting through purges imprisonment invasion and other methods and the communists relaxed just enough that the west destroyed them

But here's a question

How is China able to have virtually no unemployment, homelessness starvation and can educate and treat the masses all while doing commercialism after only 70 years but america can't

Why can China do what americant

[brazenautomaton]

that wasn't an answer to the question. how was the west able to "hide its flaws" and "put them on communism?"

aren't you supposed to be a materialist? how was it that the material reality of communism was unable to outproduce capitalism or evade its influence? why was it materially necessary to constantly be purging their own populace, such that once they stopped purging they fell? why didn't Communism's invasions of other countries materially work?

why did the economic system that is supposed to be so much better at producing material resources fail to an economic system that is supposed to be bad at producing material resources in a "who can produce the most material resources" contest? why did it matter what capitalists blamed on communism, shouldn't it have been able to leave capitalism in the dust, because the only thing that mattered was the material conditions of the relationship of the proletariat to the means of production?

[puffy-sphere]

1. The myth of totalitarianism and years of movies about the freedom hating commie

2. The soviet union was able to uplift 20 countries out of poverty and provide human rights because they didn't hoarde all the wealth

2.5 no they didn't do "constant purges" a majority of those killed in the first half of the soviet unions life were the product of those who had collaborated with the white army or the nazis or the west and those that werent? Well apples and oranges the west kills the wrong people all the time that's why people are so critical of the us prison system and executions but they ain't using that to say capitalism should be abolished why should it be said here.

3. Now youre just being delusional saying that communism can't land on the moon in a day or that every failure is a reason it shouldn't exist all the while capitalism has a recession every decade but obviously its fine when capitalism does it because capitalism is cool and sexy and it's failures are human nature rightttttt?

Look if youre not going to engage with marxists without the brain rot why even bother, to shake your fist like an unapproving old lady?

[brazenautomaton]

1. The myth of totalitarianism and years of movies about the freedom hating commie

How did those myths and movies alter the relationship of the proletariat to the means of production, which Communism maintains is literally the only thing that matters? How did they actually do that. How did they actually alter the material conditions of the means of production to produce that outcome.

How did those movies impact the Soviet Union's ability to produce material resources? How did they actually do that. How did they actually do that in the material reality that is made of atoms.

[puffy-sphere]

Ok so youre illiterate to such that you can't count, the first response goes to the first block of the text

[brazenautomaton]

Okay, and that wasn't a response and didn't answer the question. Those two statements were part of the same idea. How did that propaganda change the material conditions of the means of production? How did capitalism putting its flaws on Communism change the material conditions of the means of production?

Communism was supposed to never run out. Communism wasn't supposed to be weakened or diminished by uplifting those 20 countries, it was supposed to become stronger and better able to do things. The victory of Communism was supposed to be inevitable and capitalism was supposed to collapse under its own contradictions. Capitalism was supposed to be unable to defeat or undermine Communism even though it tried to. How did the material conditions end up leading to this outcome?

[puffy-sphere]

OK dude youre just being dense intentionally and I got homework to do

[brazenautomaton]

As a Communist, you believe (because you have to believe and your ideology falls apart if you don't) that every single person who isn't already a Communist has been deeply brainwashed by Capital into not believing in Communism.

As a Communist, you also believe (because you have to believe and your ideology falls apart if you don't) that Communism is obviously true to everyone and anyone who does not agree with it is uniquely stupid, uneducated, unserious, and unworthy of your time.

As a Communist, you don't notice the problem here because if you were good at thinking things through you would not be a Communist.

[nopostradio]

"I got homework to do"

Well, that explains it. He's living the life of Marx...leeching off his parents, letting them buy everything for him while claiming to be against capitalism.

I bet all those people who sailed from Cuba on rafts of trash feel really stupid leaving a communist utopia...

[puffy-sphere]

1. Thanks for being a terf

2. How is you telling a disabled person from a middle class family that they are that they are a leech any different from telling a homeless person that they need to work harder.

You have shown without a doubt that you are staunchly conservative because anyone truly progressive would not have said those things

Get off my blog

[nopostradio]

You're apparently off your meds, you're hallucinating. I said nothing about your genitals or the mutilation thereof. I am so VERY much not a feminist, as well. So, strike two.

And strike three, I told you what I did based on how you act. You ACT like a small child. When caught you cry and scream and call names and 'get out of my room'. I don't spelunk people's pages to see where they are on the progressive stack. You said X, I replied to X.

If you don't want people on your blog, then don't post in public. You can set it to private, or just not post at all.

[puffy-sphere]

And now you're being expressly ableist

And then you doubled down on the transphobia by calling it mutilation and acting like gender is all about genitals

Bros saying I'm a crying child because I told them this is how they act

Get a load of this chud

[nopostradio]

"I'm the victim! I'm the victim! I'm being oppressed by someone not capitulating to my namecalling!:" You idiots have thrown 'ist' around indiscriminately so long that it lost all meaning long ago. And yes, gender is about genetalia. There are two. There always have been, and there always will be. This trend is already blowing over.

[puffy-sphere]

You're acting absurdly

Just take it and leave you've already proven to everyone that you are a conservative

You are extremely transphobic, and when I annacronistically called you a terf you're response wasn't to dispute the transphobic part it was to dispute that I implied that you were a feminist

You called me a leech on the economy which shows that you view food, housing, education and health to be privileges not rights which tells me there's no reason debating communism with you because you obviously don't care about those who are not well off

While were at it I would love to hear your opinion on immigrants because if you think poor people from a given country are burdens what do you think about immigrants

You view disability as an insult that you can throw around

You have demonstrated time and time again that you're economic and social views are hard conservative yet you hate it when you are confronted by it so you bleat about cancel culture

"You idiots" go ahead say what you really think I am, an untermensch who needs to be killed for the longevity of the master race, you are the best example of why no matter how hard you cry I am not convinced to abandon communism because you so called "anti communists" are all super bigoted and cruel

And that is why your ad hominem attacks mean nothing to me but that you are exactly why communism is the answer

[nopostradio]

(spits all the words you try and jam in my mouth back in your face) I didn't say a fucking thing about cancel culture, just like I didn't say a thing to start with about whatever sort of mental problems you have.

Typical leftist. Ignore what I said, make up something and try to diagnose me based on that so you can dismiss the actual argument you have no counter for.

I think you're an idiot. I don't care what else you are, like I said. I engage with the argument, not the person. I couldn't give less of a shit that you're whatever trans. One of my cow-orkers transitioned and it made no difference to me.

ILLEGAL immigrants need to be deported. Wanting to leech off taxpayers and send money to their shithole countries, have little enclaves of their own in America where Americans are not allowed to go. They can fuck right off.

LEGAL immigrants, who've put in the effort to be Americans and want to contribute to our shared prosperity are welcome.

There is a difference.

You dumbasses (Better?) throw 'ist' and 'phobic' around at everyone to try and dismiss them. A phobia is an irrational fear. It's not fear, it's disgust. You can be whatever you want, and it makes no difference to me. YOU were the one that started waving it around like a banner. You started crying for victim points.

And your communism would be even worse to you than you claim I am.

When you're not useful to them as a worker, you'll be useful as fertilizer. Look up 'useful idiots', and realize that's why I keep calling you that.

All you commieclowns think you'll be part of the Politburo giving orders and getting free shit, when you're FAR more likely to end up as a hole filler.

[puffy-sphere]

This mfer in a nut shell: I didn't say anything racist", proceeds to say racist stuff*

Get real

[nopostradio]

And there you go again. I said nothing about race. You're just hallucinating.

Get help.

[puffy-sphere]

Eye balls your speel about immigrants

Sure buddy, I'm the problem

[nopostradio]

I said nothing about race. You're just making things up. ANY sort of immigrant needs to do it right, or they need to go.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

>And that is why your ad hominem attacks mean nothing to me but that you are exactly why communism is the answer

This entire thread started with personal attacks based on wildly incorrect stereotyping of your opposition.

I mean, it's not even a common stereotype among commies.

the usual stereotype about anti-commies is that they're a) dupes, b) fascists, c) capitalists, or d) dupes OF fascists and/or capitalists.

Any road, they stereotypically hate communism vocally and strongly, and actively spread propaganda to make other people think the same.

That's very much not apathy.

You even addressed it when you hand-waved those claims as "myths", as if it's impossible to have a single valid critique of communism.

It's not an in-depth critique. You're just telling a flattering story about yourself and your team.

[anubianpagan]

people in NK worship Kim Jung-Uns family as gods by national commandment...that alone disproves this puffy is delusional. XD

If communism ever truly worked it would be a long lasting system that improves lives and would have generated a country more powerful then the US by now.

Their argument is "history books are lies and the real truth is "trust me bro""

[puffy-sphere]

"It disproves this puffy is delusional" double negatives? Ill take it as a compliment

Also China even though they are much younger than the us are capable of having a large economy ripe for trading while still offering housing, education and Healthcare, something the us cant

And China is only socialist, imagine full communism

[anubianpagan]

I find it pretty ableist to assume the double negatives wasn't an obvious mistype. Which it was because I have dyslexia so words get switched around sometimes, and I don't catch it if I'm really tired.

China supplies only what it does via force and 0 choices. But you believe all history is a lie, which is the most gullible argument I have heard yet for communism.

Multiple people already tried explaining to you 2+2=4 but here you are still not getting it. The experiment has been tried many times. Every iteration, every attempt has utterly failed and created dictators.

But here you are swearing with your full chest "We just never tried REAL Communism" it's so tiring. You might as well have said the Holocaust just never happened.

[gsirvitor]
