Shut the fuck up Tito

>omg he can re-educate me any day

"Nature is a beast that must be shackled, chained, and made obedient."
-Myself, a few days ago.
Like it?

>Georgian philosophers

"the death of one person is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic". not underrated but such a nice quote i still wonder if it's really Stalin who said that

What's your countrymen's opinion on Stalin

>When it's your turn in the gulags.

>people who work for their shit aren't free
>you can only be free when you depend on the government
Shit quote, OP.

In other words, true freedom cannot exist, not without the castration of man, anyway.

>It was the first time that I had ever been in a town where the working class was in the saddle... every wall was scrawled with the hammer and sickle... every church had been gutted... every shop and cafe had an inscription saying it had been collectivised... Waiters and shop-walkers looked you in the eye and treated you as an equal. Nobody said 'Senor' or 'Don'; everyone called everyone else 'comrade' or 'thou'.... Almost my first experience was receiving a lecture from a hotel manager for trying to tip a lift-boy. Down the Ramblas... the loudspeakers were bellowing revolutionary songs all day and far into the night."

Disgusting commies, get out of here

the future is socialist user

>Stalin is too coarse and this defect, although quite tolerable in our midst and in dealing among us Communists, becomes intolerable in a Secretary-General. That is why I suggest that the comrades think about a way of removing Stalin from that post and appointing another man in his stead who in all other respects differs from Comrade Stalin in having only one advantage, namely, that of being more tolerant, more loyal, more polite and more considerate to the comrades, less capricious, etc.

Just look at Venezuela faggit

> “The reigning economic system is a vicious circle of isolation. Its technologies are based on isolation, and they contribute to that same isolation. From automobiles to television, the goods that the spectacular system chooses to produce also serve it as weapons for constantly reinforcing the conditions that engender “lonely crowds.”

Hitler and Stalin were the same character with different outfits

>We don't say to the rich 'Give to the poor', we say 'German people, help each other'. Rich or poor, each one must help thinking, there's someone even poorer than I am, and I want to help them as a fellow countryman.

"The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events. He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics. The imbecile doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

>how can you be free if you're not free from capitalism maaaaaaan

...

Those deep and dead eyes are very uncanny.

>“There is a contradiction between market liberalism and political liberalism. The market liberals (e.g., social conservatives) of today want family values, less government, and maintain the traditions of society (at least in America's case). However, we must face the cultural contradiction of capitalism: the progress of capitalism, which necessitates a consumer culture, undermines the values which render capitalism possible”

Thanks. I was going to debunk the photo.

>"Being satisfied: this is the general model of being and living whose promoters and supporters do not appreciate the fact that it generates discontent. For the quest for satisfaction and the fact of being satisfied presuppose the fragmentation of 'being' into activities, intentions, needs, all of them well-defined, isolated, separable and separated from the Whole. Is this an art of living? A style? No. It is merely the result and the application to daily life of a management technique and a positive knowledge directed by market research. The economic prevails even in a domain that seemed to elude it: it governs lived experience.”

Imagine there's no GULAGs

No special units
Run away and you don't die

Not bad

>“I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.”

>"“The desire to grow rich at all costs, the taste for business, the passion for gain, the pursuit of comfort and material enjoyment are thus the most common preoccupations in despotisms.”

>"Those who praise freedom only for the material benefits it offers have never kept it long.”

>“Most politicians cannot be theorists. First, because they are rarely thinkers; second, because the frenetic lifestyle they impose on themselves leaves no time for big ideas. But most of all because to be a theorist you have to admit the possibility of being wrong – the provisionality of knowledge – and you know you cannot spin your way out of a theoretical problem.”

Some have speculated that Ann Coulter is nothing but an apolitical LARPing opportunist but I think she's the only outspoken conservative female to be trusted.

>“The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them.”

>“The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his 'natural superiors,' and has left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, callous 'cash payment.' It has drowned the most heavenly ecstasies of religious fervor, of chivalrous enthusiasm, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical calculation. It has resolved personal worth into exchange value, and in place of the numberless indefeasible chartered freedoms, has set up that single, unconscionable freedom—Free Trade. In one word, for exploitation, veiled by religious and political illusions, it has substituted naked, shameless, direct, brutal exploitation"

Is that dude like an original SJW? I'm seeing buzzwords here.

>“There are no hierarchies in nature other than those imposed by hierarchical modes of human thought, but rather differences merely in function between and within living things.”

>"Unless we realize that the present market society, structured around the brutally competitive imperative of “grow or die,” is a thoroughly impersonal, self-operating mechanism, we will falsely tend to blame technology as such or population growth as such for environmental problems. We will ignore their root causes, such as trade for profit, industrial expansion, and the identification of “progress” with corporate self-interest. In short, we will tend to focus on the symptoms of a grim social pathology rather than on the pathology itself, and our efforts will be directed toward limited goals whose attainment is more cosmetic than curative.”

>“Any attempt to solve the ecological crisis within a bourgeois framework must be dismissed as chimerical. Capitalism is inherently anti-ecological. Competition and accumulation constitute its very law of life, a law … summarised in the phrase, ‘production for the sake of production.’ Anything, however hallowed or rare, ‘has its price’ and is fair game for the marketplace. In a society of this kind, nature is necessarily treated as a mere resource to be plundered and exploited. The destruction of the natural world, far being the result of mere hubristic blunders, follows inexorably from the very logic of capitalist production.”

>"We have permitted cynical political reactionaries and the spokesmen of large corporations to pre-empt these basic libertarian American ideals. We have permitted them not only to become the specious "voice" of these ideals such that individualism has been used to justify egotism; the "pursuit of happiness" to justify greed, and even our emphasis on local and regional autonomy has been used to justify parochialism, insularism, and exclusivity -- often against ethnic minorities and so-called "deviant" individuals. We have even permitted these reactionaries to stake out a claim to the word "libertarian," a word, in fact, that was literally devised in the 1890s in France by Elisée Reclus as a substitute for the word "anarchist," which the government had rendered an illegal expression for identifying one's views. The propertarians, in effect -- acolytes of Ayn Rand, the "earth mother" of greed, egotism, and the virtues of property -- have appropriated expressions and traditions that should have been expressed by radicals but were willfully neglected because of the lure of European and Asian traditions of "socialism," "socialisms" that are now entering into decline in the very countries in which they originated.”

Not surprising when you consider that a certain (((plucky little ethnic group))) is disproportionately represented in all Western Left-Wing movements.....

> “As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.”

> “The genius of our ruling class is that it has kept a majority of the people from ever questioning the inequity of a system where most people drudge along paying heavy taxes for which they get nothing in return.”

> “Ayn Rand's 'philosophy' is nearly perfect in its immorality, which makes the size of her audience all the more ominous and symptomatic as we enter a curious new phase in our society.... To justify and extol human greed and egotism is to my mind not only immoral, but evil.”

> “The American press exists for one purpose only, and that is to convince Americans that they are living in the greatest and most envied country in the history of the world. The Press tells the American people how awful every other country is and how wonderful the United States is and how evil communism is and how happy they should be to have freedom to buy seven different sorts of detergent.”

Lenin did not write the document known as ‘Lenin’s Testament’, it was in fact allegedly dictated by Lenin while he was extremely ill to one of his secretaries, who was directed to change it up by Krupskaya at the behest of Zinoviev and Kamenev. Even Trotsky later admitted he knew of the plot to fake Lenin's "will" so that it would sound more in his favor.

for lefties scums, freedom is about avoiding the natural laws of the universe

they hate life, they hate everything the way it is, they despise that idea of god of believers, instead, they justify theft, threats and coercion to feel better about themselves

as they lack the virtues, work, successes and wealth to support others or even themselves

Euphoric

ayn rand doesn't extoll greed or egotism

>“I am opposing a social order in which it is possible for one man who does absolutely nothing that is useful to amass a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars, while millions of men and women who work all the days of their lives secure barely enough for a wretched existence.”

Wrong.

> “In every age it has been the tyrant, the oppressor and the exploiter who has wrapped himself in the cloak of patriotism, or religion, or both to deceive and overawe the People."

> “I have no country to fight for; my country is the earth; I am a citizen of the world.”

> “Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.”

It's the eyes that give it away. He was obviously pretty insecure about looking so asiatic.

> “Thus did a handful of rapacious citizens come to control all that was worth controlling in America. Thus was the savage and stupid and entirely inappropriate and unnecessary and humorless American class system created. Honest, industrious, peaceful citizens were classed as bloodsuckers, if they asked to be paid a living wage. And they saw that praise was reserved henceforth for those who devised means of getting paid enormously for committing crimes against which no laws had been passed. Thus the American dream turned belly up, turned green, bobbed to the scummy surface of cupidity unlimited, filled with gas, went bang in the noonday sun.”

...

> “The purpose of life is to contribute in some way to making things better.”

> “Too often we honor swagger and bluster and wielders of force; too often we excuse those who are willing to build their own lives on the shattered dreams of others.”

> “Lets dedicate ourselves to what the ancient greeks wrote so many years ago, to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world. Let us dedicate ourselves to that”

basic bitch shit

> “Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.”

FILTHY COMMIE TRASH

He was a filthy commie.

Fucking commie.

This guy mistakes the State of Nature. The state of nature is poverty and war. It is only when be begin to leave the state of nature that we get away from hunger and death for any appreciable amount of time.

And because life and society is so fragile not everyone can escape it at all times. There will always be poverty because that is the default state. People that don't work are poor. It is labor mixed with natural resources that gets us out of poverty.

We must work, or we will die. We shall never be free of the burden.

Democratic Socialist, but okay
Only a handful of the people I posted were actual communist. Marxism=/=Leftism=/=Communism
Brazil, however, has a lot to benefit from Marxist thinking, given that you guys suffer from extreme income inequality

>Marxism=/=Leftism=/=Communism
Yes, things now const more at the marked, jobs are harder to find, but college students seem very happy.

>democratic socialist
fuck him

Your flag dude.

Stalin managed to get the Russian fertility up to 8 per woman.

Capitalism managed to get the average German to accidentally have 1, regret it because they would just rather consume, to coerce the West into taking nearly a billion foreigners, and making sure white people go extinct.

Guess which one 'redpilled' Sup Forums will defend

>There is only modern capitalism and gommunis.
Are you retard?

USSR population get smaller under stalin.

Are YOU retarded? It fucking grew?

That guy would've loved living in Soviet Russia. Their 1936 Constitution guaranteed everything he demanded.

>Order_of_Maternal_Glory
Wow they give a medal to mothers and killer 40 millions

I don't know why anyone takes commies seriously.

sage

They are good material for futures NSDAPs.

Same goes for NSDAP. It's all theater for clowns.

But NSDAP hurt the left, they are like kamikazes.

They need to sort themselves out.

>things now const more at the marked
What does this mean, comrade?

demsocs are alright. their only problem is that they don't go far enough

I'm not sure why anyone takes the turks seriously. You've killed all that was good in Ataturk

market.

>demsocs are alright. their only problem is that they don't go far enough
They are coward commies, not that commies have any courage.

>I wanna live in a lala land where money grows on trees and there r no more bad guise xD

What a fucking retard

>Brazil, however, has a lot to benefit from Marxist thinking

kek, you must be joking.

Get physically removed, commie.

>Libertarian
>Order
Choose one

An unemployed hungry person has the personal liberty to create something of value, exchange that for money and buy food.

Commies don't know enough logic to understand how these can came along.

And the sacred liberty of the unfortunate randomly becoming fortunate and getting their chance to freely express their dominance, by that logic. So there's a trade off, welcome to life. Not everyone can be fortunate or the word loses its meaning entirety.

Thank you.
Thanks, I guess.
Care to explain?
