The /r/LateStageCapitalism phenomenon is pretty interesting, isn't it?
As you can probably tell by the name, it presumably started out disguised a sub where people post stuff about twisted/corrupt capitalism has become in the US/the west. Which hey, fair enough, there's plenty of fucked up stuff going on in our capitalist system.
But now it's A SAFE SPACE FOR COMRADES, LIBERALS WILL BE BANNED! HAIL COMMUNISM!
And it has multiple posts on the front page every single day. Imagine if there were a 14/88 pro-Nazism sub that had posts on the front page of reddit? Imagine the widespread news coverage of how reddit openly promotes "hate groups"?
It's communism though, so it's okay because they're for "equality" and how can you be against equality?
Bentley Miller
why are you posting this?
Brody Diaz
Why do you care what happens on reddit? If that's big of a deal, you should go back
Parker White
Because I'm fascinated by how a site as large as reddit can openly promote an ideology as toxic and murderous as Communism and receive no backlash, since as I mentioned if they did the same for fascism/Nazism they would be attacked from all sides.

What is ableism?

Go back to r.eddit, shitstain.
Wyatt Stewart
I think they mention it specifically since they probably get a lot of people telling them they're retarded or autistic for unironically being Communists

I'll bet the jews are involved somehow.

I stopped going to reddit completely about 15 minutes after r/fatpeoplehate got shit stomped for being hate speech. Back then all I ever checked out was r/Sup Forums, fatpeoplehate, and tumblrinaction. Always seemed like the website was a lot less right wing than Sup Forums but still the type of place that would make leftists fume. I remember very few popular sjw subs. Just shitredditsays and maybe r/anarchy or something. Looks like things are getting worse.
The whole altright movement is in a lull. Now that we got our guy in the white house we can't really serve as an extreme anti establishment viewpoint like we once could. A lot of soldiers packed up and went home after the meme war ended. Our opposition is embittered and often times well funded. Even Sup Forums is a shadow of it's former glory only 6 months later. Reddit is likely lost.
Jayden King
Who cares? Fuck off back there.
Michael Jenkins
Reddit is a shithole, stop bothering with it. You'll only get angry when you get banned in the first 10 minutes because you posted your opinion on something and a mod got his fee fees hurt.
Robert Perry
its all fake upvotes.
they think having constant propaganda on the front page will gain them support but its doing the exact opposite.
James Edwards
Latestage capitalism is a funny sub.
They're.. soooo damn close to calling out the jew and going full 14/88...
But they can't do it... The cognitive dissonance is astounding.
I mean look at this, they're already calling him a literal poo.
They're so close to going full blackpill..BUT if you mention jews... suddenly bans everywhere.
Luke Kelly
Good thing I don't go to safe spaces like Reddit
Ian Jones
I was thinking about this. We need to make a counter-sub that debunks their shitty points. Seriously every post I've seen there falls apart when you think about it for two seconds. I don't think Sup Forums can do it though. It'd just be full of memes and would be easily identifiable as one of "those" subs. I know that you'll want to say back to rebbit or whatever but it's time to realize reddit is a massive platform of young people just waiting to get redpilled.
Jackson Gonzalez
LateStageCapitalism is annoying because it isn't just a place to meme about capitalism.
I got banned from there for calling one of the mods a tankie faggot.
Dominic Watson
I don't understand people who call Donald Trump ourguy, he's just a centrist liberal disguised by idiocy and blinded by media.

Nathaniel Ward
Why does it say desu everytime I say desu?
John Allen
This. They literally push post up and down at the click of a button. There are zero organic political threads on the front page or on the main political subs. I use to go on there for non political subs but it eventually leached everywhere. A non quality post will get auto up voted to the top if there is just a reply that mentions something derogatory about Trump.
Adam Thompson
r/spacedicks should be reinstated. Heaven666 was true bliss. I hate you faggets
Benjamin Diaz
It's probably another 8/pol/ false flag operation. I'm pretty sure /r/MarchAgainstTrump is one as well.
Josiah Walker
It's more than that. See . I was never taught about how fucking awful Mao and Stalin were to their people, and how much of a miserable failure communism/socialism has always been. It wasn't until I went into college and did research on my own that I realized the truth
Nolan Murphy
that's just one of the many commie hubs of plebbit literally commie propaganda

Sorry ausbro but they aren't anywhere near going 14/88. (((They))) have redditors right where they want them. Push against the big ebil corporashuns so that the gubment can save the day and redistribute gibs to the masses

i hate nazis just as much as i hate communists, and i'm not banned, scumbag

I don't mind the late stage capitalism subreddit. It's kind of comfy.
Marxism is so unappealing to everyone except upperclass liberal faggots and people who are in such destitute poverty they're desperate for anything to save them (and often it doesn't even work on them). The latter does not browse reddit at all.
I don't care if mods are shilling for it. Someone should go in there and start promoting Strasserism or something subtlety nat soc but not full blown nazi.
Sebastian Ortiz
>national socialism I understand the whole European style "offer gibs to the normies to make the white nationalism more palatable" method for selling our cultural/racial politics to normies, but let's not get crazy with the economics.

Why aren't you?
Zachary Lewis
Posted anti-Semitic nazi jokes on reddit a few days ago and got upvotes for it. Rather than be antagonistic, Sup Forums could slip in some anti-semitism with the anti-capitalist stuff. Subtlety for subversion.
Cameron Bailey
I dont know desu

Because OP already did and only 1 thread per topic is allowed on Sup Forums at a time. Be familiar with the rules, ignorance is no excuse!

I believe we can still work with some of them, "late stage capitalism" is just a polite euphemism for what we call "degeneracy."
Aiden Young
Actually schools only teach the cruelty of "communism" and don't teach marxism at all. They don't even mention marx.
According to US education communism might as well have been invented by Stalin to enslave American citizens.
Josiah Young
Please make a return to reddit
Gavin Scott
They mention Marx, and I believe they mention the death toll. They don't read you sad stories about dead Russians, and they tell you about the red scare. There's no emotional conditioning with Communism.
Why are you/when did you become a communist user? Honest question, if you're not a memer.
Oliver Hall
Go home newfag
Chase Rodriguez
Are you a complete retard or just another lying Marxist swine, as usual. Communist manifesto is third most read book on US college campuses. Fucking filth.
Ethan Cook
I was talking about highschool.
Zachary Roberts
Something about those subs in particular seems really fishy, though. The people there almost seem like parodies of anti-Trumpers. The way they act is completely unhinged and childlike in an almost exaggerated way; it doesn't take long to find comments with 300+ upvotes of people literally wishing death or violence upon their political opponents.
Pic related; it's an actual post from the top /r/MAT moderator.
Brandon Morales
Kek. Somebody tell that guy I said he's a little bitch.
Angel Gray
I go to a liberal university and have a lot of liberal friends who know nothing about my politics. They talk this way even IRL, it may seem odd but these people really think in this way
Charles Baker
Wasn't that sub just people shitting on awful advertising and bad business ethics. When did the socialists subvert it?
Owen Perry
I became a communist after I left home and got out on my own and discovered that going to college and getting an education wasn't a golden ticket to success in capitalism.
I considered myself a minarchist in my teens and early 20s.
Gabriel Rivera
Yeah, you have to work too.
Connor Moore
Well, that is what will happen when they all get saddled with massive student loan debt. Suddenly socialism looks pretty appealing. But there's another problem, and it's that they all think they are too good for the job they do and are insanely sensitive about it. This ties in with the worthless degree they have while still can only get a job at Starbucks.
They harbour deep resentment about the perception they are lesser, and that's why they have tantrums like this, because in their mind, if they have to clean up after others, they ARE inferior, because for some reason, they tie their self worth to their occupation.
This is one of the many problems of the day. Jobs are abundant, but a bad attitude has infested many a mind. None of these problems exist in a vaccuum by the way, they are all connected. The socialism is connected to the student loan problem which is connected to the job problem which connects to the housing problem which connects to the dating problem which connects to the millenials playing video games and ignoring women until they kill themselves because they can't find a husband with a house like they wanted to problem.
I am hoping to map out all the connections of all the world's problems in my head. If my theory is right and all these societal issues are a result of one another, then if I find the original problem, the prodigal issue that created the domino effect of all these other problems, you could fix the original issue and solve the riddle of saving humanity.
But what could the problem be?
Jonathan Harris
Yeah and I ain't gonna work for barely enough to pay rent while 30k in debt while the pigs skim the profits that should belong to me off the top of my labour.
I earned my place in society and I deserve the profits of my labour, just as every other worker does.
Nolan Peterson
Why choose Communism though? There's dozens of other alternatives to capitalism. My main problems with communists is that they're incredibly totalitarian (literally ever detail of culture must be controlled) and the leaders of the movements tend to be anti-white Jews. Why not something less totalitarian like socialism? These questions may seem antagonistic but they're not meant to be just FYI I'm genuinely curious
Ryder Foster
You too?
Christian Scott
Totalitarianism isn't inherent to communism. A stateless society can't be totalitarian, it's anarchist.
That's where this BUT IT'S NOT REAL COMMUNISM meme comes from, because, by all actual definitions of communism, communism has never existed except maybe in primitive tribal communities.
Totalitarians used the underdevelopment of capitalism in their nations as an excuse for authoritarian control. This is Marxism-Leninism;
It's just more excuses just like every other dictator. Their ideology doesn't actually matter, capitalism, communism, all totalitarianism is shit.
>Why not something less totalitarian like socialism?
Communism is anarchist but that's all strict ideology. My realpolitk is LibSoc/AnarcoSyndicalist, mostly because I don't believe TRUE COMMUNISM can ever actually exist, like any other utopian ideal. Normally I'd identify as a socialist because of this confusion but it's technically true that I am a communist.
Cooper Cooper
The only reason anyone hires anyone else is because that person expects their employee to make them a profit. You don't give people jobs out of pure altruism and expect nothing in return. I'm very sorry that no one except Wal-Mart considered you to be a worthwhile investment, but that might be more to do with you being terrible and not the entire free world and the concept of a market economy being terrible.
You have earned your place in society. You can barely afford rent and you have 30k in debt and a crappy job. That's your place in society. Good job!
Justin Morgan
Success is based on opportunity and the fortitude and intelligence to seize it. Its the same in any ideology as more driven people will gravitate to positions of power.
Benjamin Jackson
Nice strawman. Give me another

I barely even know what anarchic capitalism is. I'm not poisoned with ideology like you to the point that everyone and everything I see is some representation of a bunch of made up and constantly shifting gobbledygook terms like ancap, libsoc, anarcosyndicalist, natcapsoc, dingleboot doobledobble. Seriously you have brain problems bro. Get off your computer and go outside.

I really like your set of beliefs, but it's always confused me.
In order for Socialism to function, it needs to be decentralized and anarchic, but what stops competition within these essentially tribal communities and the development of laws and microstates as a result of competition?
A small community can have enough resources for this and not enough resources for that, and if they get denied trade do you not expect them to go to war over it? Wouldn't an anarchic society just degenerate into war over competition regardless of whether it's socialist or capitalist? At the end of the day resources still exist regardless of how you manage them and people are constantly power hungry.
I ask a similar question of AnCaps and they can never answer it.
Nolan Moore
Yep, Reddit is a shithole now because of liberal astroturfing and shills. The hate for Reddit on Sup Forums used to be overblown but that site is legitimately awful now.

Good. Starve to death in the gutter, communist cockroach. The end of the government gravy train is in sight.
