MarxistMatey, your new leftyfriend

MarxistMatey here.

Excellent suggestions for theory, comrades. I've actually been meaning to unironically take a peek at Bordiga, just to see what his ideology is like. Thank you kindly.

Dude, are you not aware of what just recently happened to Bat'ko on there? I do intend on making a YT for myself soon, but I started with vid.me as a failsafe, just on the off chance I ever run into the same shit our comrade Bat'ko did.

That would imply I'm trying to sell something and am urging you guys to buy it. By your logic, Bat'ko is a namefag all the same. Just sayin', bro.

I appreciate your thoughts, user, and I feel they require a response.

I understand your concerns about how our image might degrade in a manner similar to cringey rightfags, such as the types you listed, but I think their problem is that they take themselves a little too seriously in their straightforward memeing and get aggressive from it. My aim is to provide content similar to what users like Bat'ko and Socialism or Barbarism are posting online. Their memes seem to have an air of genuine fun and passion to them, something that I think can help our image in modestly expanding our image across the web.

People are already starting to get tired of the alt-right. Their memes are stale, and the stronger-minded are dismissing them for the fools they are. But there doesn't seem to be enough growth for the Left, and therein lies not a problem, necessarily, but a glorious opportunity. Think of how many we could recruit to leftism this way! Memes, when done right, are the ultimate modern form of propaganda. They're easily digestible, and their meaning is beautifully condensed so that those consuming them take in so much in such little time. Our influence could be greater than ever before.

2017 could very well be /ouryear/, comrades. We just need to make it happen.

Thank you kindly, user! :) I very much appreciate it. I think I'll go right ahead and do that, now that you mention it. Great advice!

just one question, can you customize a vid.me channel to the same extent as a YT one? with custom branding, channel trailer, playlists/layout, etc?

Nigga you've come to the wrong place with this kinda shit. For starters we're all user, 'cept that one faggot nigger who keeps coming around, and we like to keep it that way. Then there is the whole fact that you murdered a thread for this shit. Then trying to even start up an image as an actual leftist without having an ideology and then asking us to give you one.

In total bro you done fucked up on all accounts here if you're trying to get the image of anyone who has a shred of respect to the field and instead want to become "THE NEXT BIG THING". Go fucking read some books and an essay or two, fucking think about what you believe then maybe start actually creating content about it. Also your memes are all fucking shit, I mean shit for starters it is NEVER spelt with capitals it's always Holla Forums. Then you go and call Rosa a fucking armchair leftcom which doesn't make sense at all. Your attempt at Natbol gang doesn't fit as it's too high-res. Also remeber leftist communities are mostly idpol infested shitbuckets, no fucking Holla Forumswhatevers just people who hate idpol.
tl;dr

cringe

This guy has yet to upload a single fucking video. Bat'ko made content first, and he never (so far as I can recall) ever made a thread like this.

You are very clearly promoting yourself (before even doing anything!) because you care more about being an e-celebrity than making any sort of contribution to a leftist cause. I know that this sounds harsh, but if you get away with this shit then everyone will start making threads looking for subs.

What levels of subs/content do you have to reach before you're allowed to shill yourself?

What the fuck dude, my initials are already MM, you can't play me like this >:^(

...

MarxistMatey again.

I think you can, yes. So far as I know, you can post a cover photo that's similar to channel banners on YT. You can create albums that are similar to YT playlists. Channel trailers probably aren't a thing, as far as I can tell. I hope this answers your question.

Is that "faggot nigger" Bat'ko, by any chance? He namefags all the time, and you guys have a thread related to his YT crisis stickied, right alongside the bunkerchan escape thread and the reading list. Granted, he's more than earned it, but in all fairness, I was unaware at first that threads like this one isn't the best way to expand one's image.

You and do have a point that I should have posted more content in order to gain followers. I get that now, and that's my bad. I apologize, not the best first impression. But here's the thing, though: I didn't create this thread to get more followers before actually doing anything. I just wanted to make my presence known, to let you all know that I stand with you and will do whatever I can, to the best of my ability, to strengthen our influence across the web. I'm not doing this for myself, I'm doing it for Holla Forums. I want to help you guys, and if being a newfag impedes on such intentions, then I also intend to remedy that the best I can.

It wasn't my intention to make the letters in that art piece in capitals, that's just how the POTC font makes lowercase letters out to be. The forward slashes are ridiculously thin, at that. In hindsight, I should have used another font for the word Holla Forums, so it would be easier to make out.

Ouch. That didn't feel good. Sorry you don't like them, user. I'll keep your words in mind for future reference. Hopefully, my memes can improve by then.

I'd love to, and that is some fantastic advice, but what kinds of books would you recommend personally? Two anons so far have suggested Bordiga and Lenin. Anyone else you feel I should take a look at?

As for my lack of an ideology, doesn't being a leftist simply mean for one to oppose capitalism? I know in my heart capitalism must die, but it was only until I discovered Holla Forums that there's more avenues to accomplish that other than Marx's model of communism alone. As far as ideology goes, I'm only asking for suggestions, not handouts.

Sorry guys, didn't mean to steal names here. ^^; I did get kind of a laugh out of your posts, at least. Thanks for that.

I should probably post my reading list for everyone as well, so you guys can see what I have in mind to look into further, regarding literature of leftist thought:

- The Communist Manifesto (Karl Marx)**
- Das Kapital (Karl Marx)*
- The Soul of Man Under Socialism (Oscar Wilde)*
- 1984 (George Orwell)*
- Animal Farm (George Orwell)
- First as Tragedy, Then as Farce (Slavoj Zizek)
- Mao's Red Book*
- The Ego and His Own (Max Stirner)*
- anything by Kim Il-Sung, or any other pre-Songun Juche writings*
- Bordiga
- Lenin
*have read excerpts from before
**in the process of reading

The more suggestions, the better. I'm open to anything.

I'm also a little bit of a struggling reader, hence why I'm having trouble finishing something as simple as the Manifesto. I'd be more than open to advice on how to strengthen my reading skills, if there is any to speak of. Otherwise, I'll just have to discipline myself better on reading.

Can you not sound like a cooperation’s computer algorithm.

Marxist Media, you got some shit to explain.

Sorry, m8. :P Would using a flag help? I kinda wanna use the pirate flag, considering I fucking love pirate posting, but that seems kinda commonly used. Bat'ko really lucked out in choosing the Syndicalist cat as his flag. Any suggestions?

The biggest and best thing you could do for us is stay on Reddit, please

great, more edgy teenagers to screech about marxism on the internet.

oh shit it's the comrade of d00m!

Change ur name and drop the pirate stuff.

Uh first off don't take haters to heart. Most of this site are shrill autists. Plus for all u know they are Holla Forums
Second check the maturity level. It's good to make thing fun but there's a delicate line between funny and childish. Your treading that line, one reason bakto was successful was he made thing ridiculous while still keeping it adult.
Third is in regard to books. Best thing to do man is hit up libcom and marxists.org and pick short works from various well known authors. Marx and Engels are obvious, Lenin has some good stuff. Personal favorites of mine include Bookchin and kropotkin. Get a sampling first and then delve deeper into their longer works to get deeper theory once you've sort of gravitated to a particular tendency.
Gotta be more than an anti capitalist tho. Reason being is propaganda has to have substance. You can be anti secretarian, I'd even argue that's a good thing, but u don't want to use that as an excuse to remain theory less.

And here's a bump cuz I'm a nice guy

learn2sage

No, I want everyone to see this shame.

Holy shit, I already though Ba'atko was kinda cringey sometimes but this is a new level of embarrassment. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a Holla Forums ops.

Reddit? No fucking thank you, user. I already know what a dreadful liberal echo chamber that place is. Don't get me started on r/socialism or r/fullcommunism.

Such an implication would probably be even more insulting, to be honest.

Why? Pirate posting is fun as hell. I don't wanna stop that. I like having that as a part of my identity.

Aww, that's so sweet of you, user. ^^ I'd hug you if I could.

I don't intend to be overtly silly with my content. I actually have kind of a feels-y video brewing for my vid.me account as we speak. I wanted to speak from the heart on this particular video, to kind of express how strongly I feel about the communist cause. That's just what I have going so far. The memeist content I have so far is my image memes, and they're probably more mild than others I've seen. I don't know what exactly the future holds beyond what I mentioned, but it'll arise from spontaneous creativity, I'm sure.

Bookchin sounds like a good pick to read as well! Thank you for the suggestion there. I'll definitely keep marxists.org in mind, sounds like my kinda site.

Thank you very, very kindly for the helpful advice and for the bump. I'm so grateful for the support. I never exactly meant to fish for compliments, and I can see where a lot of people on this thread who are mad at me for even creating it to begin with are coming from, but whatever little support I do get from this means a lot to me. You have a wonderful night, user.

love and class struggle,
MarxistMatey
;^)

I've read fractions of The Communist Manifesto and 1984, as well as small excerpts of Soul of Man, Mao's Red Book, The Ego and His Own, etc. Nothing in its entirety quite yet. See for more information. Hope this answers your question, user.

NO U

lmfao

Nah fam he's all good, it's the gay Black nat I'm talking about aka an actual nigger faggot. But now if you want suggestions then I guess you already started with Marx. If you really want to go for the political science aspect then go back to the Greeks, if you want the historical low down on the left then I always like to say to read "Utopia" by Thomas More. After that then I guess Lenin's essays are always good, also read up on not only theory but also the history of the movements. For that I would say either get your hands on biographies and first hand sources, take both with a grain or more of salt. Your memes are still fucking shit though, they are kinda like a 12 trying to make memes. You kinda understand why people think it's funny but you don't actually know why it is. For example calling Rosa and armchair lover due to being a leftcom is utterly retarded as she led an actual revolution. The POTC one is pure fucking sonic OC levels of cringe. Now read your fucking books you fucking massive faggot

fuck is this gay shit

remember type sage in for the e-mail so this thread doesn’t get bumped.

what the fuck is this

kid, your content is bad and you should feel bad
