I think coloring books are more your speed, champ.

>learn and understand how to be utterly incorrect constantly
why tho?

>not wanting to understand the ideas behind one of the most influential movement in the last century
Why tho?

because you'd be wasting years of your time studying that which is fundamentally incorrect and of no use whatsoever.

do not reply to frogshit, all frog threads exist only to occupy space until they fall off page ten

Is useful for historical understanding even if you don't agree with it

>he thinks history is useful
then you should ask Veeky Forums this question.

Naw, libertarian who leans conservative. I hate communism so goddamn much. More knowledge is just never a bad thing. You should always be learning

Plus if you're scared of reading something and believing it, then perhaps what you believe right now is not as rocksteady as you think it is.

Hopefully this /pol/ack can go argue with leftist cretins fully armed.

faggot

...

why argue with commies? they eradicate everyone who dissents.

i believe in ritualistic hedonism, which is about as rock steady as it gets. just think it's a waste of time to spend the several years requisite to understand communism, when the proponents will stonewall you if you ever bother to attempt to argue against them, what possible merit is there to learn something just to argue against it with people who will never listen?
I mean, if the guy just wants to learn something, why not carpentry or something useful?

For the modern left, hooks trumps Marx every time. Marx was a 19th century crank influenced by the messianic ideas of Hegel and Fourier, which he welded to a deterministic narrative of class struggle. Marx' fetishisation of the industrial revolution now seems outright quaint. the industrial working class always been secondary to the capitalist system and never comprised the majority of any country. Revolution was confined to underdeveloped agrarian countries, while industrial workers gravitated to social democracy. The left as we know it is a product of postmodernism, which dismisses 'class struggle' as a grand narrative, instead leaving us with a proliferation of lesser narratives. Identity politics is a calque of Marx' proletarian vs bourgeois , conflict theory but makes even less sense and amplifies the faults of the original. 'PoC' are in a struggle against whites. Women against men. 'muh ghey queers' against heterosexuality and the family. You have a myriad 'oppressed' groups struggling against a vague subjective sense of oppression (remember, no great narratives, no great system to overturn, only an indefinable sense of being 'oppressed'). Of course, postmodernism is an ideology tailor made for the managerial classes that rule over our post fordian society of control, the academic pedants, the diversity consulting industry, 'woke' media parasites, pro activists. The remains of the left have meshed well with the eternal puritan mentality of elite colleges (remember, hardvard and yale started out as calvinist seminars).

SAGE AND REPORT ALL SHILL THREADS

colleges manufacture a specific kind of subject half post 68 narcissist hedonist and half shrill calvinist busybody.

basically leftists are people who relish in resentment and victimhood.

All leftist thought generally comes down to a fairly rational identification of a real problem followed by proposing a pants-on-head-smearing-faeces-on-the-walls retarded solution.

>people with power often abuse it
>that's why we need to give even more power to other people, who are even less suited to wield it

>capitalism results in winners and losers
>therefore we should make everyone a loser, to ensure equality

>the natural progression of human social development will inevitably lead to classless utopia
>but if it doesn't then just start killing people until it does

And so on

Way to twist ideas

Not an argument leftist.

Veeky Forums is a right wing board. Read Evola.

>leftist/communist worldview
I don't think that's a distinct worldview. You'll find thousands within it.

You can't say not an argument as a reply that's what Leftists do and we're better than that.

Nice photo. You forgot this though.

If you want to learn about socialism, read theory. If you want to understand socialism, read Homage to Catalonia by Orwell.
