I mean, their use of ‘THEN’ rather than ‘THAN’ indicates that they’ll soon adopt the socialist agenda, so there’s still hope!
Oh that is just beautiful.
I actually now understand what was meant, because of your comment! I was like Why do they want to receive socialistic agenda later? Incredible what difference a wrong a/e can make! (I’m a non native english speaker, but I think it bothers me/I see it more than the actual natives)
That fellow clearly just wants to become a heavily radical leftist, so he wants to maximize the jump he makes on the spectrum! Good on him!

Lmaoooo just in time for Thanksgiving dinner. 😆 Good luck to all the lemmings out there who have to deal with conservative family members today/tonight.
To those that are about to dine, we salute you!
This picture sums it up pretty well too.
The core values of libertarianism: (god I wish I saved the original reddit comment, oh well I’ll paraphrase)
“Yes it’s fascist pseudoscience with no basis in reality, however it’s still a useful theory so I’m going to continue to believe it”
Tbh I was confused for a second and then thought. “Oh… Right-wing libertarianism!”
Where do you live that after reading “libertarianism” first thing you think about is left?
it took me a long time to realise that just because it has the word liberty (almost) in it, doesn’t mean it’s a left-wing idea.

Unless you meant that all conservatists gladly convert to socialist views once confronted with true information.
That one word changes the meaning of the meme drastically. ;)
This has to be satire, right?
Poe’s law: on the internet, it’s nearly impossible to tell.
This but unironically
I really doubt it. Have you seen reality? I wish the whole thing was satire.
even if this specific example were, the law of large numbers means there’s a very high likelihood that at least one person really holds this attitude.
I think you said the unspoken part out loud.
Ok genuinely This has to be satire
Please I beg
Marxist Leninists when they haven’t ignored 150 years of contemporary political science for sixteen microseconds
Which parts exactly?
Mostly the parts where autocracy doesn’t liberate the workers. Even temporarily.
…As told to you by bourgeois funded academics
Every time I start to listen and learn from people more left than I am, they get to the part about how after revolution there’s probably going to be a period of autocratic rule that should then dissolve by the will of the people. Except none of them talk about plans to actually facilitate the transfer of power, or better yet, prove Lenin wrong by not going thru a period of more authoritarianism.
Right, the massive gap in Marxist theory is, and has always been, workable statecraft.
And “communism has never been tried” is such a stupid word game.
They tried to try. What happened, fellas? How’d it go?
This is just basic psychology. It takes a long time to change someone’s political beliefs, and it isn’t effective to just argue with people, even with facts. Interestingly, one way to get people to change their opinion is to frame things in terms of how it affects them and their family.
It took me…I’d say 2 years from being a full conservative to a left-leaning independent. And then another 2 years to being a moderate to progressive liberal.
It does happen. But some people are so rooted in their political identity that they will never change.
