Because we're all /realsensitiveguys/ here and the suffering of the proletariat makes for compelling art.

You've played too much Red Orchestra. Or maybe just listen to too much punk.

>>8706902
And you made a pretty dumb thread.

In the old days this place was lousy with them, nowadays I'm not so sure. /lit/ seems like a more genteel version of /pol/.

Create any thread on Marxism and you'll invariably have the fredpilled frog people take over the thread.

I'm just genuinely honest with wondering why there's such an obsession for Marxism here.

We must seize the means of production comrade.

Are you wondering why people want to talk about Marxism or do you think we are Marxists?

Marxism is more philosophy than economics and it's more interesting to discuss than Smith. The other parts of 4chan where this discussion would be appropriate have a hard on for neo-nazis and hyper capitalism so it's harder to find information relating to Marxism.

Most people on /lit/ aren't actually Marxists they just like to pretend because Marxposting is fun.

Communism is an idea at least. Communists see the problems in the world and want to fix them by designing something new. What sports do you play, other than "hope all the problems will go away on their own"? You are all fascists who should just kill yourselves.

Marxist critique is omnipresent in Western academia.

/lit/ isn't very Marxist at all. It used to be sort of leftist, but all the whiny RevLeft faggots departed for Reddit when the mods stopped banning people for badthink and keeping it as their personal clubhouse.

Now it's pretty loose. It's not very /pol/, despite a vocal minority of faggots who long for the good old days when you could just lick some mod's boots so he'd ban people you don't like.

/leftypol/ tries hard to be relevant but they are Reddit.

Can you link to a half-dozen posts alive on this board that express support for communism or excitement for Soviet literature or Soviet anything?

I'm genuinely kind of curious. I steer clear of threads that dip into politics and the trashier areas of philosophy. I mean I'm sure you are a flustered up "cultural marxism" guy but prove me wrong.

do you guys remember when a mod deleted that shakespeare's thread because it had the word -nigger- in it?

You can still get banned for a few days for making pretty run of the mill jokes here.

I think it's just done by report queue, so it's luck of the draw which mod sees your post. If you remember back when the IRC logs were leaked, there were actual tranny SJWs in the channel who despised their own boards and shit.
