Even a superficial reading of an article written by a Communist or a conversation with one will probably reveal the use of some of the following expressions: integrative thinking, vanguard, comrade, hootenanny, chauvinism, book-burning, syncretistic faith, bourgeois-nationalism, jingoism, colonialism, hooliganism, ruling class, progressive, demagogy, dialectical, witch-hunt, reactionary, exploitation, oppressive, materialist.
hootenanny
After all, I guess we really are just a bunch of libs. I have not once seen hootenanny (or hooliganism for that matter) on this website
The Communist individual is no longer a "type" exemplified by the bearded and coarse revolutionary with time bomb in briefcase.
:sicko-wistful:
Does he stubbornly cling to Marxist ideals without being willing to question them?
Nice glass house, dude.
“My ideology essentially has built in mechanisms for self-improvement and integration of criticism and my peers encourage each other to study the failures of past organizations so that we understand the risks and pitfalls of our work.”
“Sounds pretty dogmatic to me”
a number of specific issues have been part of the Communist arsenal for a long period of time. These issues are raised not only by Communist appeals to the public, but also by the individual Party member or sympathizer who is a product of his Communist environment. They include: "McCarthyism," violation of civil rights, racial or religious discrimination, immigration laws, anti-subversive legislation, any legislation concerning labor unions, the military budget, "peace."
Really telling on themselves that these are considered bad
You know, I think it's healthy to question the morals of your beliefs once in a while, and I do so often. I ask myself if the things I believe in are grounded in the intent to make the average person's life happier, more comfortable, more fulfilled.
Then I see things like this quote here and I wonder why I even bother questioning myself at all, when the people who disagree with us also think that if you openly oppose racial discrimination, that's somehow a cause for concern.
Does he pick on any event, even the most insignificant occurrences in this country for his criticism?
Some things never change I suppose
I love that its not even "does he pick insignificant occurrences in this country", but if any criticism is from this country.....ya know the place he LIVES.
God frank is trying to subvert this county, when he mentions potholes, its always one in this county
While a ... preference for long sentences is common to most Communist writing
Oh fuck, they've been reading my papers
Good to see some neurotypical representation in my FBI memorandums
You know what peope use to extend sentences indefinitely?
commas :think-about-it:
Does he condemn our American institutions and praise those of Communist countries?
By jove I think they've figured it out!
I had a friend tell me off for making fun of Gorby because, literally "people disagree with you about him, how would you feel if people made fun of figures you like?" and when I said I deal with slander on a grand scale every day he said and I quote "so when its people you agree with its slander, but when its your opponents its true?"
like holy shit bud you just figured out what beliefs are. A person agrees with the people on their side, and disagree with people on the other side? who would have thought. I mean wow a communist views Lenin as good but Gorby or Reagan as bad? But the people who call for your arrest like those guys
Tl;dr
I dunno, they use big words, like banjos, and start fights on Thanksgiving I guess?
:michael-laugh: the funniest part is that its a perfect summary
This list (of words), selected at random, could be extended almost indefinitely.
Speaking or writing in English (and possibly other languages) is a sing of communist tendencies
Tag yourself, I'm the blonde woman passing out pamphlets under a "DOWN WITH THE IMPERIALISTS" sign 😎
:frothingfash: "My daughter would never leave here of her own free will"
:dprk-stare: :lady-doge: :dprk-stare: "It's true Daddy, I did volunteer for farmwork. Do not interfere"
I'm the guy reading the Daily Worker minding my own business at the bar lmao
I recommend not using the "communist words" in daily speech. I think they make you immediately sound stilted and fanatic and you can express the same ideas without them.
