TIL there are no capitalist people who can read, as reading leads into communism or something idk if I could read I’d probably try to find the meme in this
Well, capitalists(people who own the means of production) who can read generally continue to support the system that benefits them.
And they’re able to pay so proles mostly only read ideas that are supportive of capitalism.
But that isnt the point of the meme, the joke is that this guy thinks illiteracy is the best defense against communism, when the best defense is making communism into a boogeyman so literate people won’t read their ideas.

I think communists are the joke in this, as they are the joke in many things. Many people have read communist theory, it’s just trash theory, literate or not really.

Cool, so what theory have you read then? I’m guessing you’ve read the basics if you are so confident that they are trash. Or are you too scared of the boogeyman of communism to be exposed to its ideas?
I read at least the first two das kapitals in my upper secondary years (maybe the third too but can’t recall tbh). Reckon that’d be pretty basic introductory baby’s first taste of trash political ideologies.
Imma level down with you, I have no fucking recollection it was almost 20 years ago. I am leftist, and have been, but after reading through that I came to the conclusion that I am not a fucking looney and started living a life of a normal person.
Yep. But to be fair, most theories get thrown in the bin after multiple failed trials. Fascism was tried at a couple places but after Oppenheiming and explaining to certain Austrian painter how and why that theory is trash, it’s stayed at it’s rightful place as a fringe ideology for attention seekers and lunatics. Why communism is still a valid theory after multiple failed irl trials and genocides inherently linked to the theory, is beyond me. But I view communism as more of a cult than a real political ideology anyway.

Cool, what were the biggest problems you’ve found with them, and did you read later marxist critiques of those problems?
As a marxist leninist, I know those books have plenty of flaws, so I’m curious about which ones stood out to you.

Okay, so you don’t remember any communist theory but you know it is all trash, understood.
