I thought I'd snoop around far leftist forums and boards to try and get a better understanding of their views/ what they're thinking of certain events.

I found some interesting things, like how they are paranoid about subversion and infiltration much like /pol/ is and in a certain twist of irony believe it is the far right the is cause much like we claim it's the far left.

On the other end, I realized something. Some of these people were rather well-read and with any point they'd link several books and refer to multiple intellectuals and philosophers.
In all fairness people tend to do this when they suspect the person they're arguing with is unfamiliar with them to end the conversation and "win" but it made me realize that /pol/ hardly ever does this shit at all.
I get that leftists have an ass load of "intellectuals" who's works basically amount to vast nothing burgers but in all truth it doesn't seem like /pol/ has that many written pieces or people to refer to and reinforce their beliefs, or at least actively brings them up. It does indeed, make us seem reactionary and subscribe to any belief to prevent or accomplish a specific interest without actually exploring that belief (IE most people are here out of fear of being demographically replaced).

>TL;DR
I got my arguments trashed by people spamming a bunch of books and names because I didn't read them or know who they were talking about.

To fix this, we have to accumulate a list of good /pol/ reads and /pol/ people and all you lazy reactionary faggots need to get reading.

That's why they are spamming them, retard. It's a debate technique. Demand that they cite any arguments with their own words.

>>139749569
Yeah, on one hand they seemed really fixated on things that happened nearly 60 years ago. It was like a time capsule at certain points.

>>139749693
>What does this even mean
/pol/ says that the establishment is full of cucked leftists who seek to destroy national identity at the behest of Jewish supremacists, These other guys think it's the KKK and facists that are in control.

They basically think every antifa that was arrested at the last Berkley protest was unlawfully targeted and that white supremacists are given a light slap on the wrist as evidence. Though to be fair 90% of their backing to this claim was shit from over 30 years ago.

I can link them, but I didn't want to reveal to "them" that I was there since they're probably here.

This was a response to a claim that modern academia was saturated by Marxism in attempt to explain to them that communism isn't nearly as shut down and persecuted as far right beliefs in the MODERN demographic.

>I don't know why people say this. What Marxist ideas? Mainstream economics is about as anti-Marxist as a discipline can be and just about no one in sociology is making a name in conflict theory anymore. There's only a handful of Marxist thinkers in academia that I can think of. Are you confusing Marxism with post-structuralism? Or deconstruction? Or postmodernism in general? Or is anything even remotely influenced by Marx impure for you, in which case we should throw out Joseph Schumpeter, John Dewey, Piero Sraffa and anyone in their intellectual lineages, given they have the same (or more!) intellectual proximity to Marx as Judith Butler, Jacques Derrida, or Michel Foucault?

Look at all those name drops, I have no idea who those people are. I have no way of responding. He has me because all /pol/ has ever said was that schools were Marxist and never went into detail.

I have an idea of what it is, all those "History of black feminists" and "Cultural classes" have all these anti-cultural identity ideas that /pol/ states are frankfertian. I don't know the actual naming conventions, thus I can't refute him without sounding like I'm ignorant of Marx.
>>
>>139751207
You're right, I could have said Obama was president. I had a gut feeling they'd find a way to refute that though.

One of their dishonest tactics was they kept lumping together communists and anarchists as the same. We all know Anarchists are hated by everyone and the most watched by any governmental body, but they claim it's because of fascists and anti-communism. It's like how trannys muddle the difference between gender and sex for the maximum victimization.

Let me translate for you:

You just called this a cup, it's clearly not a cup, are you confusing it with a mug, or a goblet, or a chalice, or a grail, or a stein, or cannikin?

I mean ignore the fact that they all contain liquids and you can use them to drink, you must be confused.

>>139750963
>>139751361
This person is trying to discredit your point by defining Marxism as narrowly as possible. The namedrops are red herrings intended to send you off into the weeds. He can come back and argue that he meant anything by those sentences. (Of those I've only heard of Derrida and Foucault, but their ideas are squarely in the commie trash pile.)
Read the definition of postmodernism on Wikipedia. It's practically a restatement of Marxist dialectics. The leftists, some stupidly, some willfully, will try to argue that these two schools of thought, which do not differ at all in substance, are two completely separate things.
>>

Also they mostly seem to focus on shit that happened a long time ago despite the insistence that once I read them I'll understand why they are the victims.
>>
>>139749080

Most of the right's arguments are based on statistics, objective facts, empirical evidence, and rational deductive thought processes.

I don't need a philosopher to tell me something that the sky is blue. I can figure out truth on my own.

Conversely, if you want to ignore truth and reality, you need mental gymnastics and postmodernism. it's generally easier to simply regurgitate someone else's thoughts in this field than to have an original thought.
>>
>>139753404
Yes, their arguments pretty much amount to "This isn't communism, its gommunism totally different."

>>
>>139749080
>Some of these people were rather well-read and with any point they'd link several books and refer to multiple intellectuals and philosophers.

People don't do this in normal conversations or on /pol/ because people realize that no one has time go go read a dozen books on a subject you are casually debating on the internet. Asking someone to spend a huge amount of time on something just to continue the debate is intellectually dishonest and poor debate technique. Only people who want to seem 2smart4u do this kind of shit, people who actually want to have a decent debate or convince the other person of their argument will try to find snippets or short articles to post instead of entire books.

tl;dr: you're arguing with a bunch of elitist circlejerkers who don't care about debate, only appearing smart or "winning".
>>
>>139754482
>Do you not like infographics
They're fine, but I always felt they were easier for people to denounce because unlike a link you have to tediously type in the address yourself meaning people will be less likely to check the sources. People who know this can then make bullshit graphics to bait.

For example, the dick size info graph that arbitrarily namedrop Women's Health without a source that people keep falling for/

>>139754579
That's a bit dishonest though, because what if all those things actually have benefits or downsides? What if /pol/ takes the irony too far and ends up supporting fascist regime? If it's good and everything they wanted then they got lucky, but if it's bad then all the commies will just laugh at us for being "useful idiots" like we call them for subscribing to beliefs that don't actually benefit them.

Pseudo intillectuslism.

The left has largely censored any right wing ideology or philosophy.

So in most cases to find this kind of thinking you need to find primary sources from the 19th century. Stumble upon the relevant material. Be redoubled and insane enough to understand the value system and culture it was written in.

Then you have to find a group of like minded people in a forum where you can share those ideas. That is not easy.

Reddit for example will ban you for citing the founding fathers or any philosophy of the founders, civic religion, stoicism, etc.

Basically the entire world is an echo chamber and the only thing that can get out because of structural defects and censorship are memes.

Aka propaganda. It's sad really. Such a rich and enlightened history being destroyed for vanity.
>>
Referring somebody to a source isn't an argument, it's a deflection. Of course, citing evidence is an exception but when you're discussing ideas and ask a question, and they simply say "just read this entire fucking book", they're not providing anything of value to the discussion and you should discard their opinions immediately.
>>
>>139755395
>What if /pol/ takes the irony too far and ends up supporting fascist regime?

That's just it, communism is so terrible that even a fascist regime would be preferable. This was official US policy during the Cold War. They routinely toppled socialist and communist governments and replaced them with tinpot dictators.

Fascism may be bad, but it deserves community service compared to the death sentence communism deserves

There are few modern right-wing intellectuals. The only people that we can point to are fairly easily debunked ancient sources like Aristotle and Marcus Aurelius.

Always define your terms before engaging in debate, this makes it easier for all involved. The person who replied to you is correct to the extent that say postmodernism isn't actually Marxism. If instead you had attacked the assumptions that in fact underlie all of these philosophies (e.g. "modern academia is saturated by fundamentally liberal notions like egalitarianism, individualism, etc") then your case would have held much better against such a comment.

You're learning, which is good. Don't hesitate to read your enemies works, but be selective since a lot of their literature is a waste of time.

>>
>>139764503
Speaking of Muslims. There was one thread where some guy was trying to rationalize why people resort to tribalism. None of it really seemed political biased as far as I could tell. Someone mentioned muslims and other people posted run-of-the-mill defense posts. Someone was clearly trying to call Wahhabism a branch of islam in an effort to define islam as being a broad range of belief.

I countered it by pointing out that unlike Christianity, Islam is not very diverse in thinking. I made the mistake of making a point out of the two mainstream denominations of islam and they linked somewhere around 13. I started reading the list and found that these differences were all very arbitrary and none focused on interpretation of the Koran. Rather, they focused on differences outside of the Koran (Imams vs. Caliphs). It seems I was actually right, their diversity of thought was negligible. They were hiding behind naming conventions to maintain the illusion of diversity so they could say "not all muslims".

We're paranoid about more than just subversion, anon.

Yes, because some of us are. But anyone can spout of names of books they recommend that you read.

You're thinking that all we do is argue and get angry about topics. Incorrect.

>I get that leftists have an ass load of "intellectuals" who's works basically amount to vast nothing burgers but in all truth it doesn't seem like /pol/ has that many written pieces or people to refer to and reinforce their beliefs, or at least actively brings them up. It does indeed, make us seem reactionary and subscribe to any belief to prevent or accomplish a specific interest without actually exploring that belief (IE most people are here out of fear of being demographically replaced).
You're implying that we're published authors or literary geniuses. We're not and we don't seek to be. We like a friendly and sometimes unfriendly debate and to shitpost.

If so, then the guy did not just enumerate books. And he is right.

The majority of modern day (((socialists))) are Marxist in name only. This is especially true if we are talking about american liberals.

And if you consider everything with a hint of Marxism as Marxism, then There are whole schools of thought that are Marxist, even thou you don't associate them.

I have to agree with you that the enumeration of philosophers was kinda of a dick move, sort of someone sucking his own cock, but that does not make him wrong

Sure, some authors share great wisdom, but some just end up corrupting your mind... I'm gonna go ahead and guess you were debating commies.. of course they would be paranoid about someone using their own tactics against them. The problem with communism is that it operates on so-called idealism, but the world doesn't and can't function as a Utopia, that's why they came up with the term "social parasites" which was a label they gave to anyone who didn't work, no matter what...

Having read most of the philosophy material in this chart I would recommend Hume, Kant, and Hegel, and skipping almost everything else on the entire chart unless it interests you or if you're a slow learner and cannot infer the redundant information from understanding the works of these philosophers. I also really like Heidegger's work but it's not for everyone, I am of the opinion that phenomenological reasoning best describes reality though this can be nothing more than an opinion like most outlooks more complex than Descarte's most famous quotation.

Orwell, Huxley, and Kierkegaard in particular are limp dicks.

The left uses some rather retarded philosophy to bolster their memes, but you'd do well to create an opposition reading list. What you felt was an 'unfamiliar memeplex' or 'culture clash.' I started reading Slavoj to troll the shit out of commies in their own language, but it turns out that marxists are marxists because they've no other methods of analysis. However, if you can speak their lanugage you can make them turn their critical theories inward.

Death by cognitive dissonance will follow, slow and painful, but, that's how commies roll.
>>
>>139778578
You don't even have to argue with a specific group. Arguing with anyone is good practice. 4chan in particular is an amazing place to learn how to argue, because you are dropped in alone with nothing but your words to defend you(no reputation, no friends unless you make them during the argument, no concern of losing face or offending the other party as you are anonymous so you can speak absolute truths no matter how harsh). You quickly learn how to identify faulty arguments, how to word your points so that they are difficult to find flaws or cracks in, and how to cover up and tuck away your mistakes if you happen to make them.

Some comedian philosopher once said "A philosopher who does not argue is like a boxer who does not step into the ring." Being practiced in argumentation is important if you have views that you wish to share with others.

Leftist "intellectualism" (dialectics) is trash. It encourages ad-hoc arguments by forcing an antithesis to any political philosophy that actually works, but isn't "perfect". They can't think about problems individually from a rational standpoint, everything had to be defined by its opposite. For example, the leftist method of solving modern tension between the sexes has been to identify a thesis explaining the supposed problem (patriarchy), devoloping an ad-hoc antithesis with no real philosophical depth (feminism), and synthesizing the two into modern sexuality (demikin tranny shit). It started with a working idea and completely destroyed it, all to "solve" a problem that is unavoidable in the first place.

Leftists really like to read books that echo what they agree with, the thing to remember is that said books are generally not based on reality or real events but instead on theories and other what ifs. They have some sort of belief that because some "intellectual" who's been in the ground for a century wrote a wordy book about a topic based on his own beliefs it's somehow fact even if it's nothing but a 300 page rant about his personal theories of how the world should've been run 150 years ago.

Frankly reading them amounts to fuck all aside from inflating your own ego, you're far better off learning about history, what worked and what didn't and why, real examples always hold up a whole hell of a lot better than some dead fedora tipper's dusty manifesto when it comes to serious arguments

The main theme of this debate is a rejection of the notion that the right wing is large and in charge the american political climate and responsible for the perceived political oppression of Antifa (which is semantically blended into communists and more often anarchists)

Sure Trump is in, but oddly very little of the conversation uses trump as evidence. They insist however that there is a bias that targets the left and forgives the right. They'll cite old shit like COINTELPRO as a current assault against leftism and ignore causes where the right is targeted.

They think the democrats are right-of-center, not left-of-center and deny people at Berkley and Charlottesville likely voted for Hillary and were protesting against Trump.

They basically think Alphabets are against them, not us and most of the debate has been about who's gotten fucked worse with them insisting they've been fucked the hardest. The worse thing is they keep falling back on Anarchy as if most nations don't already hate them. They clearly use this to get a "stand in solidarity" so that softer views on communism by the general public don't strip them of their victim status.

For books etc. Dr layman and Aydin Paladin cite everything and are extreamly intelligent. Jorden Peterson is an obvious choice, but he doesn't cite shit.

Anyone can spam books but if they can not articulate an argument then the person you are talking with has not won anything. Finally, when in doubt always go to smug anime girl. It is the top of the argument pyramid.

COINTELPRO was used in neo nazi groups too.

I think we need to drop left right politics all togheter and see what happens.

Just one day of issue based discussion, so people stops pretending that communism it's still a thing besides symbols and slogans.

Nah but I can back up that many people on t_d are /pol/ users that simply clean up their act judging from the comments. they do cuck on "nazis" and stuff but theres a tacist understanding of white nationalism in that subreddit

The average liberal is smarter than the average conservative; however, the left seems to end at around 110 - 115 IQ, whereas the right goes far beyond that. This is a problem. The large number of retards on the right hold the movement back.

>>139749080
It's because far right rhetoric is self evident. I don't have to link you to some goy author to prove my point. You can literally look at statistics published by the government to prove what we say is true.

I told them that, they threw more anti-commie / anti-anarchist shit from the 70's at me.

Tell them to read the progressive garbage that flows from ivy league institutions every year. All of those professors and their work is directly used by think tanks and policy bureaus.

Most actual policy is done through NGO's, up and including "spreading democracy"aka war. Progressives have created this system through the FDR regime. Draw an analogy to the warlike nature of the former USSR, and how they are essentially created by the left wing.
The rightwing midwesteners just wanted to be left alone until the Clinton era.
It's hard to form these things into arguments, but you can find the original observations in the Unqualified Reservation s blog. Moldbug pbuh

Tell them the 70's sucked and the USSR had nukes, spies, propaganda, killed a record number of people and still couldn't keep their system running.

People were objectively happier after right wing death squads than before, and no dumbass hippie ever disappeared unlike in the USSR. The war justified it, and it was progressive east-coast lawmakers that did it.

Here it's a radical idea for you, stop gloryfing violence in politics and maybe we can get past the CIA and the NSA for once.

Sigh, I got tired today m8. I got tired of the fighting and the constant shitting from both sides. I just kinda want to be happy and think differently, but it seems impossible. Is like, the left spews hate all day long, then we spew hate all day long, then we get called "deplorables" and "bigots" "racists", I'm a fucking latino, and get called racist towards my own people. Then we call them cucks and snowflakes and then Antifa goes on a fit and burns half a city down and the moderate left is like "well, yeah... but nazis tho" and then those fucking retarded neonazis go and LARP pretending to be god knows what, and the left complains and we're like "well yeah... but commies tho" and I just want it to fucking end. Can't we just disagree on subjects but still respect each other? How the fuck does rooting for trump make me a bad person? Or a good one for that matter? Deep down, liberal, republican, democrat, conservative, we all want the best for the people, to live happily and to live free, why the fuck can't we just get along?

Except libertarians, those are fags.

I'm not advocating any violence. It's a statement of fact that post-communist countries were worse off than countries under liberal-democracies.

This is because the left can't win debates using logic, rationality, or facts. The only way they can "win" is through obfuscation, and appeals to emotion. They'll either try to shame you into submitting, or if that doesn't work (e.g. on anonymous message boards), they'll post a bunch of obscure books and name drop (((intellectuals))) you've never heard of, with the obvious implication being that if you haven't heard of these people, nor read their works, then you aren't even educated and informed enough to be engaging in a debate with someone of their intellectual caliber. They win by virtue of having read certain books (allegedly).
