look how many contradictions I can fit into this political position
I feel like only Gorbachev could consider otherwise.
I will say the same thing I said when I first saw this. Marx really knocked it out of the park with his observation that history occurs 'first as tragedy, then as farce'.
There's a lot to unpack here in regards to a completely incoherent ideology, but I feel the most important question is:
Why are these folks doing speeches in front of the "Chad" face?
Dude these guys are wild - they even somehow got the Chad face onto their pennies.
It's funny re-viewing this now compared to when we first saw it here on hexbear the week it happened.
A lot has changed. Many views and opinions now are probably quite different to then, including my own.
Everyone knows what this is except me.
I already feel weird enough in life.
It looks like a bunch of nerds trying to merge a communist political movement with nationalist symbols in a haphazard way. That black, blue, and red flag is the Donetsk breakaway republic and the Z is a commonly used symbol of the Russian Federation's army. It's pro-Russian, (not Soviet) stuff. That big sculpture in the back is Abraham Lincoln, America's 16th president (1861 to 1865). It looks like it's a smaller replica of a Lincoln head the original American Communist Party would use at some of their events. The other flags being used are the USSR's together with the American.
basically it's a complete gibberish mess. It's some kind of project by that guy Caleb Maupin and my guess is it's just a method to get more public speaking jobs rather than a serious political project

Caleb has been publicly advocating for socialist and anti-imperialist causes for over a decade. Please look him up instead of so flippantly dismissing his work and insinuating that he's a sellout. Public speaking jobs? If he was looking to get paid he'd find it much more lucrative talking about something else.
Edit: Never mind, this guy is horrible.
Ok lemme look him up. "American patriot" in twitter bio. And lemme read a little bit more... Wow, ok this guy is a complete crank, moreso than I originally believed. Thank you for suggesting I research him and I hope I never hear his name again. Goodbye
Didn't he write a book that was pretty much "the JEWS" with all the references of "the JEWS" find/replaced with something less obviously bad?
Yeah, "Satan at the Fountainhead", amongst other things it pins the blame of Ayn Rand's views squarely on her Jewish heritage.
Thanks for sharing, I hadn't heard of this before.
You follow some of these people for a while and appreciate what they have to say about socialism and anti-imperialism, then later find out that they advocate for some contemptible ideas. It's difficult to reconcile the two... ignorance is bliss.
No problem comrade, if it helps I also used to like some of Caleb Maupin's anti-imperialist takes, what turned me off him was a video he did platforming a TERF and claiming it was okay because they were both against "transgender ideology" and not individual transpeople. I didn't find out about the antisemitism until later.
Everyone knows what this is except me.

Good, do what you can do stay that way.
