Why is this board so heavily communist?

This

Commies are pathetic.

>t. Sub 80 iq tiny dick

It isn't.

It isn't
Veeky Forums is pretty diverse, and that's good for discussion

>not being a redpilled /pol/babby makes you a commie

Veeky Forums shits on communism all the time

More like the silent majority from time to time get tired of all blatant misinformation being spewed and respond and when they do storm/right//pol/-tards think it's a raid.
A better question is why the insistence on constantly spewing rightwing rhetoric over here? Isn't having the most active board enough?

cuz you edgelords have McCarthyist standards for what a communist is

...

Neo-commies from leftypol/reddit are raiding this board.

Swallow the greenpill and make money while normies suffer.

>/pol/ constantly post bait threads on a regular basis
>ask why is Veeky Forums communist?
I bet the same user is posting the same thread for past few months, and relying to critics with the same '/leftypol/ = SJW/anti white' rhetoric

but Veeky Forums isn't full of communists. does this mean that we're all actually below average intelligence and have small dicks?

It's full of people hostile to /pol/. And if that is what makes a communist in your mind then I have some very, very bad news for you.

/pol/ thinks Veeky Forums is full of communists when really we are a diverse range of political leanings but also combined with elitist attitudes about hating Plebs such as the /pol/-cancers.

Really activates my almonds

/thread/

an extremely important part of spreading socialistic ideals is historical revisionism and the push for a materialistic and class struggle lens to all of history, contextualizing their actions as an obligatory, inherent outcome to all that can be learned.

they HAVE to present themselves as the only option in the past present and future, otherwise their project crumbles, there is no communism and socialism that isn't expansive and global.

>Isn't having the most active board enough?
What are you, retarded?

>a bunch of right wingers are supporting protectionism trade policies and anti-capitalistic agendas as a way to stop their nation from being "cuckholded" by foreign interests and having the government answer to the people and not corporations.

Holy shit, are the right wingers the socialists predicted by Marx?

>middle and working class VS "the elites" and "the Jews"

It is, its the class struggle! Right-wing morons are the real Marxists. They are becoming what they hate. Trump voters even are liking Obamacare now. We live in the meme timeline, no doubt.

Tankies arn't the majority and never have been, they're literally the same stuff as /pol/. Fact resistant, one-track-mind ideologues who furiously type to defend whatever insane disproven theory they use to feel better about themselves.

We had the same thing with ancaps, before the Picardia.

>communists in every shadow
>elaborate and intricate plans to influence board culture over a prolonged period not falling apart in like 2 days when everyone gets bored of it
But hey, you at least seem to know a bit about marxist historicism.

they're not many but they do not tire or get bored due to the moral righteousness their philosophy grants them.

also autism, autism is a pretty big factor.

poltards are unironically the biggest corporate shills. They have nothing against capitalism per se, they just don't want Jews as capitalists.

why do libertartards think that anyone who doesn't agree with their sect is a communist?

Marxism is fundamentally opposed to moralizing or ethical arguments.

that's nice, doesn't change that the main motivation behind it's proponents is not "i'm a starving peasant being stomped on by the rich, personally", it's a perceived wrong and some kind of mesianic wet dream about being part of "the revolution".

They don't mind capitalism, so long as its "working for their nation", which sounds an awful lot like socialism in spirit, they just call it nationalism.

That's literally fascism.

Your answer for why Marxists are on a history board seems to be that Marxists like posting about history, as they view it. You're not wrong, but this is not a new observation.

are we done here, then?

national socialism even, yes.

This is fundamentally wrong. Capitalism naturally seeks to expand beyond borders and nations, if it's just limited to a single country it stagnates.

I'll be honest with you, I've never seen anyone try to explain a historic event using marxist historicism on this board. Knock on wood, although even that would be a positive change from the shitposting and cancerposting that plagues this God-forsaken board. I mean, I've seen a couple of cancerposts like "why fight did soldiers fight, they are just dying for the interests of the rich" or "religion was invented by the upper class to pacify the lower class", but I seriously doubt those people were actual marxists, as they didn't use the arguments you would expect to hear from marxists. It sounded more like teenage edge than marxism.

Except Americans also believe in democracy.

We're never done, the revolution (and counter-revolution) is eternal

>muh dik

>democracy is a soft variant of communism
No shit, communism is rooted in democratic thought. The entire concept of alienation and surplus value is just a pseudoscientific psychobabble poorly masking an argument for economic democracy.

Yes, ancaps calling everything communism.

What else is new.

Ancap memes are the best thing to ever come out of /pol/

i've seen people say that the proles getting rowdy were behind the fall of rome, the disappearance the maya, the arab conquest, and the revolutionary movement in the americas.

it's never articulated beyond cursory historical context but basically everything can always be atributed to a gigantic mass of workers and servants history didn't mention no matter how supposedly important they were because they were poor, if you're red enough.

I'm not the one who usually pushes le horseshit theory maymay, but Marxists and Ancaps are really similar in how extreme they are.

>everyone left of Hayek is a communist
>everyone right of Lenin is a fascist

I met a shitload of ancaps who unironically called Keyes a marxist, which is beyond comedy.

Both far-left and far-right ideologies are overrepresented. Personally I just want a /comfy/ folkhemmet; I'd call myself a corporatist if American progressives hadn't bastardized that term to mean the same thing as plutocracy.

You think the people pushing for protectionist trade policies want their own exports and ability to do business overseas limited too?

Well what is democracy other than giving the citizenry communal ownership of political power?

For a "history and humanities" board, it's surprisingly not that much left-leaning.

Exactly.

It's not tho

I wouldn't say it's all that surprising, I mean you can't exactly know your history and still think communism is a good idea.

This. Everyone shits on communism whenever some retard brings it up.

They fail whether or not some loser is desperately trying to rewrite history or not.
Communism is a pipe dream and will never, ever work.

We aren't. Veeky Forums if anything is well to the right of mainstream academia. It just seems communist because we don't scream SHILL KEK SHADILAY MAGA and start frogposting the second someone contradicts /pol/ groupthink.

hmm wow got me pondering

How is it wrong? Its not like Fascist Italy or whoever had particularly good economies.

Germany was basically running on IOUs and looting.

This is semi related but I think I'm done with /pol/ for good. You can't say a single thing outside of the hive mind without being personally attacked. People purposely ignore your points and when you ask for a source to a bullshit claim you're accused of asking to be spoofed. At first I enjoyed embarrassing morons with minimum effort pointing out why they're wrong but they don't even care if thrtre wrong, they just say "cuck nigger lmao" and parrot the same disinformation to one another. I'm not even a lefty I voted for trump and consider myself a centrist for the most part and am a registered Democrat (probably will change to independent though desu)
