      Yeah. Although I like socialism and partially agree with the meme, I’m really tired of constantly seeing political memes, so at this point I just down vote any political meme that I see lol

          Tbh I think the worst thing for the socialist movement is the history of what happens when socialism runs into economic and political reality. But a good number two is internal discord between socialists, yeah

              Yes, yes, everything is the evil CIA’s fault. Never mind that the communists had their own intelligence agencies! They didn’t have any agency and all their actions were puppeted by the evil capitalists because of how amazingly competent capitalists apparently are. But yeah no let’s do communism because even in a brutal dictatorship some liberals can beat the shit out of us in technology, economic prosperity, soft power, hard power, and diplomacy.

              Go touch some grass, tankie scum

                Sure.

                So anyway Henry Kissinger is a name you should look up. Allen Dulles. George HW Bush. Roy Cohn. Good places to start.

                Also the term Whataboutism fits here. I’m saying socialism isn’t allowed to exist because of the Western Capitalism supplied Intelligence Agencies. What are you talking about?

                  Gorbachev, Stalin, Brezhnev, Lenin, etc, etc. Communists tried to make sure capitalism couldn’t exist far harder than capitalists did for communism. And it was communists who declared that particular war. Lenin, in fact, is the architect of institutions like the comintern which took that as their goal.

                    That’s just literally not true. Financially alone communist countries didn’t have the money to fight back, that’s why they often moved towards socialism. Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Venezuela. The countries were poor because heavy capitalist countries owned the main exports of these countries. Like the term Banana Republic is one sided.

                    The entire goal of socialism is for workers to change the structure of capitalism. “Declaring war” in that way is like the war on drugs, language more than anything. This is not like a Jihad. It is just the philosophical belief that we aren’t truly free until we own our venue of money making. As a people that’s for the country you live in, as a person or worker it is for the company you operate with.

                    This war is a declaration of change of the relationship of the rich and poor, the workers and the owners.

                    But if you really think the KGB has done as much as the CIA I have a bridge to sell you. The KGB wish they were the CIA.

                When will these hate crimes against strawmen end!!

                Socialism isn’t a single system bud, neither is capitalism. Are you suggesting the current state of any society on this planet is utopian? Probably not.

                More capitalist countries and empires have fallen than socialist ones. More death happens because of the structure of capitalism. Capitalism has caused more wars. It has existed longer, there’s literally no arguing any of what I just stated.

                Are any of these arguments good to stop someone from exploring what capitalism can do or offer? No. So stop being stupid.

                Historically also, no. No socialist country was allowed to exist without foreign interference.

                Stop boiling everything down to a meme you halfwit. We absolutely need more socialist policymaking and a genuine consideration of what society needs to look like.

      It’s not we, this guy is the only person posting these political memes here. I hate blocking users but posting multiple memes a day trying to push your agenda is pretty annoying.

        Well I didn’t mean it like that. I obviously meant memes that the sole purpose is to bait the opposing party into raging in the comments.

        The occasional meme and critique should be fine though.

            Nah. I just don’t care. I don’t go for memes for the political content.

            If I want to discuss politics I’ll do it elsewhere.

                Maybe I didn’t get my point across clearly, that’s on me. English is not my first language.

                What I meant is, I don’t care about politics on the MEMES community. It’s not against the rules, but my opinion is that politics should stay out of “hehe that’s funny” content.

                Political content on here only serves to further divide and annoy people. Politics should be discussed just not on here (again, imo)
