This. Homosexuality was illegal in the USSR and no one gave a fuck about muh racism. Former communist countries aren't politically correct because they were culturally shielded from that bullshit. SJWism comes from America and consumer capitalism - see LGBT being sponsored by banks and major corporations.

>>1952838
>no one gave a fuck about muh racism
This isn't an accurate evaluation. The USSR did care about racism and gave massive support to foreign anti-imperialist and anti-racist movements.

You can thank Stalin for that. Lenin legalized it.

>>1952838
>>1952848
Homosexuals were seen as mentally ill for deviating from the general norm and sent to madhouses. People getting executed for being gay is just western propaganda.

>>1952746
Because the USSR utilized cultural marxism as a weapon against the west, of course they didn't allow such cancer at home.

>>1952756

STEMtards are fucking progressivists, and so believe in very lefty things such as history being predictable by "trends" or "patterns."

>>1952838
Communist countries were even more rudiculous with anti racist propaganda than modern west.

t. grew up in a communist country

>>1952895
They didn't. The whole cultural Marxism meme is a product of westerners scrambling to explain their self-flagellating culture without naming the real elephant in the room - Christianity.

>>1952715

Extremely inaccurate. It seems to imply that somehow the Soviets were able to get America to accept communism unwittingly, which clearly never happened.

>>1952898
Is this why STEM tends to vote for right wing politicians? Trump won the STEM vote.

>history being predictable by patterns
So did Spengler, it's not just Marxism that thinks there are patterns to historical development.

My experience with university is that a broad swathe of opinions and stances exist. Sure vocal lefties exist but they are just one among many, and most students are normiecunts just trying to get a degree and then fuck off and see people like these as noise.

As always, cunts like you just look at one vocal group and chose to be offended by that group, and then make up all sorts of tinfoil hattery about them.

That's why there are now quite a lot of feminists and beta cucks as well as normal people accepting their agendas.

Of course, but they exist inside people's heads not on the agenda of the university.

Ok, let's see how bad it is.

It is mandatory to read Marx to finish a degree?

Do they talk about class differences or class warfare?

Do they blame inequality, poverty and other social problems, on that class difference?

Do they advocate for a change of hands, for large parts of the manufactured production?

Do they think the goverment should solve social problems, and tax bussiness and individuals?

Do they want laws that prevent people from talking about certain subjects?

It's not just a "vocal minority". Literally most colleges in the United States has a department for gender and ethnic studies, and churn out probably tens of thousands of these boorish ideologues a year, who in turn get work in government jobs and as HR reps for major companies, where they spread their cancer to the rest of society.

I'll explain myself so we can go somewhere here.

I know my Marxism, you don't need to hear my personal history, but stranger on the internet claims to know about Marxism in all his forms and it's true.

Marx it's just another author, nothing more, his ideas about economy and society, are inspired by the industrial revolution and the many emancipatory movements of his time, at the time emancipation was a big deal, cause there still was slaves, no workers laws or unions, he did what it had to be done, but he didn't started it, or it's the most accurate writer of his time.

The U.S.S.R and the international elevated him to almost God status and there lays the problem.

What you have now it's a capitalist, consumer based society, that likes to pretend that defending the same values and ideas that anarcho syndicalist defended it's badass, just like rich people that go trophy hunting.

In reality all of this concepts, don't apply anymore cause they are designed to divide classes, and produce the rise of the working class, the problem is that the people advocating this rise isn't working, if they don't work all of this falls apart.

Yeah, in a white country.

Tumblr it's huge, and international, it really spreads more than what you may think, just like 4chan does, for an array of reasons.

>http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/18/education/republicans-outnumbered-in-academia-studies-find.html

>One of the studies, a national survey of more than 1,000 academics, shows that Democratic professors outnumber Republicans by at least seven to one in the humanities and social sciences. That ratio is more than twice as lopsided as it was three decades ago, and it seems quite likely to keep increasing, because the younger faculty members are more consistently Democratic than the ones nearing retirement, said Daniel Klein, an associate professor of economics at Santa Clara University and a co-author of the study.

In a separate study of voter registration records, Professor Klein found a nine-to-one ratio of Democrats to Republicans on the faculties of Berkeley and Stanford. That study, which included professors from the hard sciences, engineering and professional schools as well as the humanities and social sciences, also found the ratio especially lopsided among the younger professors of assistant or associate rank: 183 Democrats versus 6 Republicans.

The USSR may have had the best game. But as Marx said, the economy is the basis of everything. So the USSR had to cut corners on pretty much everything. Including chess table legs.

Chess table legs? Yes, chess table legs. Both players must pay for the maintenance of the pair of legs facing them. The USSR legs deteriorated so no matter what the game they played, the western pieces first slowly, then faster and faster slid towards them and pretty much zerg rushed them with money.

All hail Karl Marx, the original Gordon Gekko!

Not at all. Those in the USSR ended up being subjected to "shock therapy", marxism is almost completely non existent in economic departments, the concept of a central planning economic largely discredited, left wing parties in the west began adopting neoliberal reforms, and China the only other major socialist power ended up making major liberal reforms.

Groups like the "SJW" have three large advantages. The first is they make what they do very public keeping them in the public eye. The second is they exist in environment that remain highly idealist and suffers from rather extreme tunnel vision. For example Syriza getting their ass kicked in Greece and later capitulating doesn't really count against the "left control everything!" narrative because only something like what some fuck on tumblr said or some singular issue that pushes out everything else matters. This is good because otherwise they would come off as weak and ineffective and various intellectuals would have to deal with questions about how useful they or their work actually was. Liberals like Nozick complained about how such academics were "unproductive" but he failed to realize that the beauty of academia is that certain parts of it are so deep in idealism and divorced from any logistical constraints that such questions like "how much did you actually do" would never come up. The third is their gracious opponents who have greatly extended the meaning of terms like socialism to the point some will claim the US is deep in communism already creating an environment where they can't really fail.
