Young people are becoming the Hitler Youth

I have never before seen anyone other than 4channers themselves use 4chan terms like "goypilled", "goymaxxing", "goycattle", "zogbot" and many more, until recently. Go to any Instagram, YouTube or even Reddit comment section and you'll see people saying this shit and getting thousands of likes, along with replies pushing Jewish world conspiracies, Holocaust denial and more. Then, when you go to these people's profiles, it's always some teenager or young adult who is male (not trying to blame men, this isn't a gender issue), usually religious, and either from the US or countries that were literally occupied by the Nazis.

It sucks that, with the current crisis of capital, a great opportunity to introduce people into Marxism is being hijacked by Nazis to push their bullshit conspiracies onto the youth. I'm still not fully pessimistic though; Marxism has still indeed seen a rise in popularity in recent years. Just, not as big a rise as fascism.

Is the proletariat dumb, apart from movies ive seen people gobble books like "doughnut economics" instead of reading the real deal, are they afraid of confrontation? why they won't chose gem and keep on choosing coal. :(

I've been working to convert the entirety of Kollontai's ouvre on Marxists.org into a Collected Works epub to be viewable on ereaders. Don't say I never did anything

I personally hate reading on my phone or monitor so I wanted to get Marxists texts on an ereader but found MIAs epub library very lacking. So I thought "fuck it. I'll do it myself".

I've spent a good amount of time beautifying it, making it look nice. Theres a fully working contents page where you can click on each title and it'll take you the page in the doc. As well as a 'return to contents' link next to each title. Page dividers for footnote sections, formatted tables, etc.

I will release this publicly for anyone interested soon, and get into contact with MIA to see if they're interested in having them to put on their website. I need to figure out a way to share a file publicly without also sharing identifying information. I also want to do some finishing touches before release as for some odd reason the formatting messed up with Red Love, where the first page is blank, and the text begins on the next page.

Reading about Russian civil war while searching for the next internship. I hope the White officers would suffer hell in the end.

Don’t spoil the endings please.

One of the dumbest things of bourgeois morality

I hate the whole "you have to buy something at this cafe/bar/whatever to use it" expectation, especially in the name of "supporting the local community," which is just code for "supporting the petite bourgeois."

Barbers are not a part of the proletariat and should not survive a revolution

They are enemies of the people of the world and a plague.

There is no world where these "workers" don't cut genuinely 3 inches shorter than the reference image. There is no world where you can look at your hair immediatly after those IMBECILES pick up their mirror(bourgeous tool of humiliation) and you don't have to fake a smile because "oh, he's just doing his job".

No excellence. I'm done pretending I fight for these people. It makes sense Marx, Lenin, Trotsky and the rest never pointed these out. Have you ever saw their hairstyles? Genuinely. Though I think marx was letting it grow long to avoid them(the enemy).

What is this sub about?

I’ve been reading through some of the posts and comments and although I find a lot of them hilarious I genuinely don’t understand what the sub is about 😭 is it a shitpost sub?

What is meant with Ultra-Left?

Why are Anarchists not allowed to participate?

Why are leftists in general not allowed to participate

Aren’t communists leftists?

Also sorry if there some basic things I don’t understand im rather new to communism and socialism and all that stuff

i am sick

i am sick of people who just see "communism"/"socialism"/"marxism"/etc as a lens for typically juvenile and inflammatory humor rather than a serious movement that addresses the most important issues facing the world. i am sick of conversations that could have been genuinely productive political discussions getting derailed into pissing contests of everyone shoehorning in virtue signals on how much activism theyve done, because if you hand out newspapers while marching around center city in a police-sanctioned protest or distribute soup cans around your gentrified neighborhood that makes you more qualified on these topics than someone who's actually fucking read about said topics. i am sick of people with no actual ideological position against discrimination, just a list of social classes that are "oppressed" (and therefore metaphysically good) and "not oppressed" (and therefore metaphysically bad, also jews are now in this second category cuz israel justifies antisemitism!). i am sick of everyone of all ideologies gobbling up fascist/neonazi frameworks for political humor (had the displeasure of being around a leftist who called zohran "ZOGran" recently, but also hate the normalization of incel/blackpill/looksmaxxer terminology and the plethora of wojaks/soyjaks around any political online sphere no matter how blatantly ableist or racist the designs are clearly intended to be) and even for agitprop (solarpunk, red shambala, et al.) i am sick of it all.

How do you manage studying marxism with every other thing going on with your life?

Genuinely it's a pretty considerable amount of literature, discussions, and historical concepts to grasp. I'd love to know how y'all manage this with a job, college, family, etc without getting absurdly burnt out. As silly as that might sound.

Do Maoists really exist?🤨

everybody (nobody) always talks about maoists, but have have you ever actually seen one in the Wild, let alone talked to them? Maybe its like the Mandela effect where we all collectively think they are real, but its just a big Hoax (Hoxha reference)
