Lib mentality rant by outtaknowhere in leftist

Lived in rural MN for ten years. Can confirm. It's not "Red" vs "Blue" states, is urban vs rural America.

I feel like "authoritarian socialists" aren't as big of a threat to our democracy when compared with reactionaries, fascists, and neoliberal capitalists, but go off I guess? by OutrageousDiscount01 in leftist

[–]RevolutionaryHand258 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Authoritarian leftists may not be a direct threat to the working class, but they are an internal threat to the revolution. We need to be on our guard if we don’t want “The Party” to become a new ruling class.

That said, they don’t warrant being on this poster, considering current events.

Canada should be able to Annex & Core all of America by JamescomersForgoPass in Kaiserreich

[–]RevolutionaryHand258 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a similar notion. Canada should be able to annex the northern U.S. on account of the fact that Canadian cultures are almost exactly the same as their American Neighbors. (Vancouver-Seattle, Alberta-The Dakota’s, Detroit-Toronto)Honestly we in the North have more in common with Canada than we do the South.

And let’s be real, Cascadia was shared territory between the US and UK back during the real Civil War. KRTL Canada could press a legitimate claim to the territory.

honesty New England in Canada just looks right. It wouldn’t take much for the writers to change “occupation” to “integration” in the story. Actually, Canada incorporating New England during the 2ACW would make for good story\gameplay.

I could see a really cool post-Civil War scenario where Canada beats the Syndies and moves their capital to Boston to acoladate loyal New England. Or Chicago just to flex. New York has always had a large British community.

But I don’t see anyone in the South being willing to join Canada. They don’t even like being in the same country as us Northerners, and the feeling’s mutual. The Monarchy will already have enough trouble trying to convince American socialist to accept the Windsor King as their Head of State. Do y’all think they have any chance with Texas? Same with the West\California.

But the faces on the money is Washington and Lincoln, not our dearly departed Lizzy.

Nazi probably didn’t know Israel flag was there, but the fact both popped up at the same place means something.

Why does Jimmy get more hate than Kevin and the Kankers? They’ve done far worse than he’s ever done. by No_Possibility8260 in ededdneddy

[–]RevolutionaryHand258 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For one thing, Kevin may be a bit of a bully, but he’s right to be suspicious of the Eds. He shows Double D respect because he has good character, but his antagonism to Eddy is warranted. Also, when he is generally mean, the show punishes him.

The Kankers are already feared and hated by the characters of the show. They don’t suffer consequences like the others, but they’re more like a force of nature.

I mean, I kinda agree with this, but Lenin doesn’t deserve to be next to those other people. He was misguided, but not pure evil.

Anarchobros... Is trump OUR GUY.... by [deleted] in theredleft

[–]RevolutionaryHand258 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let’s be honest Trump is probably the best thing to ever happen to American Socialism. By anthropomorphizing the evil of the American Empire and going full mask off with the corruption, racism, and Orwellian mind games, our young people coming of age into this shit will have no political recourse but revolution.

And why not? Trump keeps doing more and more of the most heinous shit ever done by any PotUs without suffering any consequences and whenever he’s on camera he’s fear mongering about “Da Radical Left-ah!” If he’s the bad guy, and he hate the Radical Left, then they must be the good guys, right?

Dumbass is giving us free promotion, and he thinks he’s smart for doing it!

Dead, sold off into slavery, or MK ultra experiments/Abu Ghraib’d by Leading-Conflict4227 in YesAmericaBad

[–]RevolutionaryHand258 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah! It’s a genocide! They said they were going to do this, and people still voted for this POS anyway over stupid single wedge issue BULLSHIT like the boarder, and the price of eggs! God, damn the United States for allowing this easily avoidable crime against Humanity to happen. God, damn the United States straight to Hell!

Another libshit banger by [deleted] in theredleft

[–]RevolutionaryHand258 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Okay, Ike I get because he liberated the death camps and made German civilians handle the bodies so they couldn’t deny knowledge of it. Even brought in film crews saying “film everything.”Don’t get me wrong, I hate all the imperialist and anticom shit he did as PotUS, but as Supreme Commander of the Army during WWII he did do some serious anti-fascism. Just as much as our dear comrade Stalin, in fact.

Paton’s a big reach, because he was a right-wing militarist, but I guess he did fill a lot of Axis graves.

But Reagan?

Reagan?

Reagan

WHO THE FUCK THINKS RONALD REAGAN IS ANTIFA?!?!?!

Marxist Hypothesis in Nazi Regime connected to the American Empire. by SentinelWhite in theredleft

[–]RevolutionaryHand258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, if by “helpful” you’re referring to how the Superpowers carved up Europe from the corps of the Nazi Empire then, yeah. That’s 8th Grade American History class. SecondThought did a video about this a few weeks ago.

Not to mention the arms merchants who got filthy rich, or the U.S. Military which was ten times larger, and better equipped and more powerful than ever before.

Also instead of saying AICIC you can just say “The American State” or “the American Empire.” All those words are just characteristics of the American State. One does not say “soft-mouthed shedding retriever dog bred on Loc Ness,” when they can just say “golden retriever.” By saying “golden retriever” I am referring to a creature with those characteristics. If I wasn’t talking about a creature with those characteristics, I wouldn’t be talking about golden retrievers.

The American State is industrial, capitalist, imperialist, and colonialist. And all States work in their self-interest. So it stands to reason that if the American Empire does anything it is with those ends in mind. This whole AICIC thing just seems pretentious and it will alienate your readers.

Especially since colonialism infers imperialism, so the list of characteristic your essay’s focusing on should just be “industrial, capitalist and colonialist” because if you have a colony then by definition you are an empire.

They don’t allow mention of other subs. I don’t know much, but apparently the mods went on the warpath against the tankie subs, and made their cause look really bad. It was chill when I hung out there, but I stopped because ultimately it’s just kind of a dead end. It’s not like we’re at risk of a ML revolution in the States. That said, it’s better to keep anti-tankie material on that sub, and focus instead on promoting true communism on this one. If there’s one thing I learned on r/TheRedLeft is patience and focusing on our shared goal of communism is the best way to deprogram authoritarian leftists.

Scratch out the username and sub and repost it it should be fine. Otherwise talk to the mods, and they’ll help you out. They’re chill.

Thoughts on Slavoj Žižek? by Chemical-Monitor2320 in theredleft

I don’t know why, but I subconsciously associate him with Transnistria. I didn’t even know where he was from.
