Current Events > When did CE become a hotbed for literal communists?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've been blown away by how many people I've had to tag as Literal Communist over the last few months.

I'm not even talking about people who just want a stronger safety net and better benefits for families and employees. I'm talking about people who espouse actual communist rhetoric and basically worship Marx and even Lenin/Stalin/Sovietism.

@CommunismFTW

He would post about Communism every once in a while, and I subscribed to his Communism Newsletter as well. I think he was a troll, because his newsletter was one of the most incoherent and undeveloped things I've ever read.

Then he became cool and started posting about the videogame he's working on and stuff like that, and took a long break from CE. But besides him, there was nobody else that I remember. The people farthest left just wanted things like gay marriage and more pay for people at the bottom.

"Hotbed"? There are only like 2 people I know of here that are actual communists.

Meanwhile the number of people sympathetic to white "nationalism" seems to be growing.

I think what's happening is that you are so fixated on white nationalism that you are not noticing the large number of literal communists here. People are desensitized to communism because the mass media only talks about white nationalism and the like.

Some people I've tagged:

Paper_Okami
Omnislasher
averagejoel
Antifar
Doom_Art
Axiom
ElatedVenusaur
frozenshock
Godnorgosh
Grindcorp9000
nexigrams
Nikra
theAteam
twitterfriends
VectorChaos

And a few others. Their tags range from "Communist?" to "Literal Communist" depending on how what they've actually said and how much. Some have outright called themselves communists, whereas others are weaseling around the term but still espousing the rhetoric.

Cestfaux/A_P/whatever-his-other-name was from like 5-6 years ago was one, decently sure.

How many & who on that list actually like Stalin and the USSR? And Lenin?
---

yeah those are definitely not communists lol

I remember like, Scintillante being the only one back in the late 00s

Proudclad showing he doesn't actually know what communism is.

I've never seen anyone on that list you just posted do this. They're all either liberal users who talk down to you when you post stupid shit, or shit posters who hate women gogoat.

Pay more attention, then. Some of them have outright said they're communists (Antifar and averagejoel) or posted obvious communist things (Omnislasher and Paper_Okami). I don't remember if Godnorgosh outright said he's a communist, but it's obvious.

This doesn't mean much when the fucking bar for being considered a white nationalist is so fucking low on this board.

I'd assume it's the same for people who call others communists on this board.

What is communism then?

Hey, just like last time a bunch of nazis were marching around Poland, when we have to pick between the commies and the nazis, it's not a tough call.

CrimsonRage posted...

lmao none of those users are communist. I'm pretty sure they each embarrassed you in an argument once so you probably yelled "communist!" at them and left the topic in a huff. Maybe averagejoel, but the rest lol

averagejoel and Antifar have said they're communists. Godnorgosh and Paper_Okami have sided with them in topics and have defended communism without outright saying they're communists. Doom_Art might've been joking about seizing the means of production but I tagged him just in case.

I don't keep screenshots so I don't remember details for everyone tbqh.

I feel like we're witnessing the next Red Scare in this topic. Except this is a video game message board, so no one actually cares.

What's there to be scared of? Communism has no future. It's just weird that there are so many of them on Gamefaqs.

Case in point.

Honestly, I don't even know why I bother to come here anymore. CE has become a hotbed of fucking morons who can't think critically more than anything else.

I was wondering the same thing. I left this site, years ago, because racists like sarmstrong would preach anti-white hatred and not get punished. Then, they cracked down and he left because he couldn't handle his racism being censored. When I returned, I was surprised to see other people had become fed up with this in-your-face sjw garbage.

So my tagging system is simple.

If they call themselves communists, I tag them. If they defend communism but don't call themselves communists, I tag them. And if they say things like "seize the means of production" I tag them. I have tags that represent where I am on a confidence interval, between low and high.

In the case of averagejoel/Antifar/Omnislasher/Paper_Okami/Godnorgosh/few others, my confidence is high because they've either outright said it or don't hide their views.
---

But anyway, if you all really believe they're not communists...then great! Pay attention to their views and challenge their views. That's the only way you'll come to know. And then we can discuss communism if it turns out that there really are a good number of communists on CE.

there is no ethical consumption under capitalism

@Antifar has said he's a socialist not a communist. You are literally just tagging people you disagree with.

This sounds like communist speak. Proudclad is a communist.

He has said before that he's a communist. It's my word against his if he denies that, so whatever. I linked a topic where he makes it obvious what his views are, btw.

The topic asking if people would rather have fascism or communism which are two different extremes. That's a shitty topic to figure out who communist are.

Both sides cry communist and nazi so often that it has lost all meaning.

We're actually debating outright communism and its views later on in the topic. It turned into a conversation, not him picking between one of two extremes.

Just a heads up Antifar is actually a shill, like a paid shill. He pushes an agenda and tries to get shitty blog posts clicks.

How do you know that he is a paid shill?

Poor antifar is going to have a million notifications out of nowhere when he logs in because of a topic he theoretically posted in a million years ago mega yanma

It was recent. A few months ago IIRC.

You're tagging people "just in case" they are communists. Whatever you say, McCarthy.
