They had to be ragebaiting right?

It really is sad to see these sorts of people think they are being intellectual when they scream "SAUCE? SAUCE? SAUCE?!" like this. They really are so lacking in any ability to think critically that they think flatly refusing to consider a point of view other than their own, but LOUDER is somehow the height of intelligence.

This literally happened with my dad. I said Marx was born in Germany and he was like "No he was born in Russia."

"???, no he was born in Germany."

"But he established the Soviet Union after the whole October Revolution."

"...Dad you're thinking of Vladimir Lenin!"

"Oh. Well of course you'd know that, you're a commie!"

There is something interesting about demonization of marx in the west, he is a philosopher and political theorist.

I don’t think people assign deaths in bengal to adam smith grave or congo to kant’s one. not so much nazism to nietzsche as well. kinda curious how people’s bs meter doesn’t go off on this

"Wikipedia is not a source" says a person which probably quotes ChatGPT regularly.

"WiKiPeDiA iS nOt A sOuRcE" motherfuckers when presented with falsifiable information:

wikipedia endorces US state media as "reliable", while excluding leftist and anti-imperialist sources, and is known to often push right-wing or outright nazi narratives

Sure but this is "my source is problematic and ideological in certain ways" vs "I made it the fuck up "

well… much, if not most, of the "research" of the likes of wikipedia-favourites robert conquest and anne applebaum was made the fuck up as well.

True, but when it comes to super straightforward facts Wikipedia is pretty accurate, admins are good at taking down BLATANT misinformation.

If the claim is something like "Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809" then Wikipedia is a perfectly fine source.

we seem to have wildly different definitions of "blatant misinformation".

imho, shit like calling lithuanian nazi-collaborators "anti-soviet partisans", while slandering anti-fascism as "collaborationism with the soviet union" qualifies for the description quite well.

I mean "blatant misinformation" as in like objective facts. "Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809" is a fact that really can't be denied via semantics or philosophy. The correct way to describe partisan factions in WWII is a more subjective matter, even if certain framings are clearly dishonest.

you also have many cases of nazi war crimes being falsly attributed to the soviets, like the katyn massacre, despite

  • the area having been occupied by the nazis at the time of the crime

  • german brass being found at the site

  • the claim originating from a nazi officer and being spread by literally joseph fucking goebbels

there are numerous further instances of reality being straight up inverted, victim and perpatrator switched, or details quite literally invented out of thin air, whenever it suits an anti-communist or pro-imperialist narrative.

wikipedia's methodology is oftentimes no better than the "black book".

the USSR was founded in 1922

Never engage with screenshots of text

That's ridiculous. Marx didn't start the USSR, he seized power half a year later while everyone else was out fighting the monarchists.

They're thinking of Engals.

No, Engals started "Eng"land.

Ah, yes, Engalsland. I remember going there as a child. Riding Luxury Gay Space Mountain until I was sick, The Haunted Mansion expropriated from the Bourgeoisie, Splash Mountain.

Marx was an authoritarian Tankie, he wanted to send authoritarian tanks to Hungary in the 50s

He would have intervened on the side of Hungarian rebels in 1850s, because they were more progressive at the time.

Marx is perpetrating genocide in Xinjiang and sending human waves of Koreans into Ukraine.

Marx invented tanks in the 1850's just in case those damn Hungarians started some shit

Now I wish I could go back in time and give Lincoln some T-34s. Maybe then McClennan would have gotten off his ass and given Lee what for.

Sounds like a Hungary hungry hippo

Lol this has to be a bit

Everyone knows Marx was the dictator of the world from 2000 BC to present day, obviously

Marx literally was Roman and sentenced Jesus to death. Still think he's cool loony leftists?

karl marx, roman god of war. the month of karch was named after him

Thats a weird picture of Stalin

NGL i can never imagine father Marx as a leader of a country he is good as he is an outstanding and the most important socialist reolutionary thinker and theorist thats where lenin comes in play. Lenin is more of the politician.

lol Marx would have defenitely said slurs in the supreme soviet. Lmao trotsky would have been called worst stuff than what he called lassale. Our dear poor old Marx we love you you just need meditation from time to time.

"re"-education camps

After the revolution, we'll have half the people in education camps and the rest occupied teaching and guarding them... ugh.
