btw headz up from the pros: thinking your a communist because you have communist opinions ("lol") and define yourself as one is the most liberal.
This is worth keeping in mind Huey. In America or Western Europe, what exactly is the difference between calling yourself a “communist” and calling yourself a liberal? You buy the same products, participate in the same protest movements…..like if this was Berlin in the 20s and we were riding around with tommy guns and such then sure, slay the false prophets
But this difference of terminology is surely just aesthetic, it doesn’t materially affect anything.
but it is a question of aesthetics. communist thought leads to nihilism which leads to being a better huMan being is a genuine way. liberal thought leads off on Totes Lame paths in perpetuity and you grow up and end up being a 60 year old liberal fag, meanwhile the commies moved on to bigger and better things. individualists. ayn rand.so yeah exactly like IWC put it, a meaningless semantic distinction.
what kind of piss ass fail aids nihilist are you if you think that direct immediate actions are meaningless while at the same time thinking that a specific philosophy you hold to makes you a better human? that's a freaking ideological oxymoron and i'll have none of that inconsistency in my zany politics forum effing christ christy.
counterpoint: naw i'm right dog
