I'm just glad he wasn't actually trying to refute the ideology

I can't handle anymore obnoxious ancap shouting

nigga i aint giving that shit views
what r his arguments though

None, he kept bringing up frankfurt intellectuals like Adorno and Horkheimer (He really had a hard time spelling the latter's name) and said they were plotting the cultural marxism meme without providing any actual argument against any of their works, same thing with Marx

"His analysis is great but is full of contradictions"
It's how every channel does it these days, can't start talking in depths on ideas because otherwise people will realize you haven't read Marx and are full of shit, so just make it as vague as possible

pretty much this, lad

pretty weak for a guy who supposedly studied marx at a graduate level

You know where the typical anti-communist platitudes (human nature, doesn't work) come from? From cultural capitalist academia. They know they can't actually refute Marx, so they just teach people platitudes like "it sounds good in theory but not in practice"

I don't know what it is, but something about "experiencing Frankfurt School-style" just makes me chuckle.
Adorno is the silliest boogeyman.

I always wonder whether the people who make these videos know that they're full of shit or the ideology really is running that deep within them

all information they have on cultural marxism is taken from the conspiracy theory youtube videos, articles, books etc
none of them have actually read any frankfurt school philosophers, only the right wing memesters and the hucksters
on the other hand, even if they did read them they'd probably disagree (because they're right wingers) and twist their words (because they're dishonest idiots)

what a fucking retard

...

Gee I wonder why porky doesn't want us to know about this

If there are any Holla Forumsyps and fellow travelers in this thread, you guys are some dumb fucks for actually falling for bullshit like this

What is it that attracts these used car salesmen to the right?

I would guess the money. Youtube ad revenue can be quite a lot

When will these retards figure out that being a student isn't fucking indoctrination?

Damnit! Soros is going to lower my salary for sure this time!

Literally the existence of class society (specifically capitalism) is never put into question in any class in school, and we learn a big strawman of marxist ideas that is supposed to get knocked down by the idea of liberal democracy. We don't learn how class society works, we don't learn about materialism, we don't learn the correct definitions of socialism and communism, we don't learn about the different tendencies of socialism. We don't learn fuck all.

Even Dick Spencer likes Adorno and Benjamin:

So, is he actually going over what the Franks wrote, or is he just another conspiratard?

lads i know there's like genocides and seriously evil shit going on in the world but when people just lie and argue in bad faith and insincerely i lose all hope for the world. Why do they do this? they can't all be alphabet soup or on porky's payroll yet they do this knowingly. are we all doomed fam?

...

same thing that attracts used car salesmen to used car salesmanship: the customers are schmucks

...

fugg

This shit never gets old.

Actually it is. Google Noam Chomsky

wheezing from laughter

Thank you for this

Did you not go to public school or something?

He exposed us so good, he only got 3000 views.

...

Honestly the best thing for socialism would the end of universal public secondary education in the west.

I would vouch for this great book, too.

Yup I totally believe him. Also, that channel is pure cancer.

Who is she

Sign me the fuck up to that.

...

this makes me kind of annoyed now, I am always hoping to find an ex-marxist who actually doesn't spout liberal nonsense and critiques the ideology logically, but no, its always the same shit

Are there any instances of ex-Marxists who aren't complete retards? Pic semi-related

Mussolini started out as a communist.

I wonder what makes a communist break and turn that far.

Leszek Kołakowski and his "Main Currents of Marxism" are pretty okay.

These fucks really need some originality

Your other communist friends systematically telling you that you're a retard.

How? Also how does none marxism fix said guilt?


If you take any economics course you will learn about austrian, georgian, Chicago school economics. The only time I ever heard about Marxist ideas in high school was in history class when we discussed industrialization. That's it.


No shit. Flipping over a trashcan or punching a "fascist" won't change shit. Educated Marxists aren't the one doing the street rioting. It's mostly impressionable 20 somethings who don't read theory.


Is this a referance to the USSR and other socialist nations? None of these nations have come close to communism. These nations were socialist but they never claimed to be the end result of Marxism.

He became disenfranchised with international socialism and class conflict. He wanted Italy to expand into refions where Italians lived. Most Italian Socialists were anti ww1 because they didn't feel Italy had a valid reason to join. Some of the socialists saw ww1 as a chance for Italy to gain a national identity and a semse of victory. Most Otalians identified with their refion not their country. A victory in a world war that also gained territories where Italians lived would be a way to build up national identity. A few socialists liked Mussolinis ideas of mass based political violence and expansionism and were influential in helping him form the FIC. The FIC iteslf was not a party with concrete ideals but rather a bunch of socialists who didn't agree with mainstream Italian Socialism. Some were syndicalists, some were more pro class conflict, some were pro constitutional monarchy. But the common beliefs they had were of a socially traditional, anti materialist, class collaborationist society.

Basically he's the result of the times. An era of mass political theories, war and violence.

Koestler seemed okay.

This tbqh, hell I'd understand if you stop being a Marxist but still follow some left-wing theory, maybe become an anarkiddie, but I always wondered how someone who sees the world through materialist lenses and a nuanced analysis of it's conditions just turns off his brain and says "yea give me those spooks fam"

Is this like that one video of the preacher who claimed to be an "ex-satanic high priest, and warlock" talking about how Pokémon cards are demonic?

I honestly have to wonder if someone who did this theguardian.com/world/2009/oct/13/benito-mussolini-recruited-mi5-italy was seriously a socialist at all and not a total opportunist from the beginning.

Who invited this mad man to the club? I told you motherfuckers to keep quiet.

Right wingers have low I.Q.

...

What grade level is wage labour and capital? what's the site's name

...

Despair tbh

That and that as a self-avowed materialist you repress your spooks so much they just explode some day

t. a former tankie

I'm going to guess either goodreads or maybe Barnes & Noble's website?

a few hundred protesters thrashing a square is barely an insurrection

...

Thanks comrade.

Muke's video disappointed me TBH. I assumed he was going to go over Gramsci and the Franks more in-depth and thoroughly explain their understandings of culture. For one, Adorno, Benjamin, Marcuse, etc. differed in some ways from the base-superstructure orthodoxy.

Because spooks feel good that's why, ever play Total War and relish how good it was to be a Greco-Roman faction bfto of all the other underpowered "barbarian" factions and then later feel bitter knowing that it all disintegrated anyway despite the fact that we are now living in times that Romans couldn't even dream of (so much for the 7 Churches of Asia)?

So with that in mind, consider that Mussolini was Italian in a time where pseudo-science such as phrenology was lauded, European imperialism (presented as civilising the world rather than the resource extraction it actually was in hindsight) was rampant and being an open reactionary jingoist was considered normal, it was easier back then to turn your brain off and satiate those feel good superman fantasies.

It's the curse of revanchism, to redeem the honour of the noble golden past (forgetting that the violence itself wasn't what made it noble) like some folklore hero and be counted in the timeless annals, however life is not a fairytale and past bloodshed seldom benefited the common man who bore nearly all the cost, which hasn't changed even today.

Whats with this trend of Rightists pretending to have read Marx?

;_;

where do u find the grade level?

i signed up for goodreads and cant find it. i want to know the grade level of what is to be done to compare autismo levels

umm excuse me its called marxism-lenninism and its the only way to have a successful proletarian revolution u numb-skull

as proven by history

Why does Chaya have to be such an edgelord? Her videos would be better if she cut all le spooky crap.

That was oddly specific, you think private would be better?

nice hat

Shut it down comrade.

Someone please post the "this is what cultural marxism looks like" webm. I thought I had it, but no luck finding yet. Perfect for this thread.

Savage.

I know it's off topic, but I really miss that old "adult-swimesk" Holla Forums aesthetic. It was the esoteric, late capitalism, urban decay style that first caught my eye as a young shitposting Leftist
