Communism must be good if it pisses you so much

the guy says, "Do you like Marx?"
I said, "I haven't met him."
Guy said, "No, no, he's dead."
"Wow, what happened?"

I'll be using this

This is how people keep finding Hexbear

"He wrote that poor people should not be poor."

I said, "Sounds amazing."

Yes, but at what cost?

Marxism was a psyop by the feds the entire time i fuckin knew it

Someone I know read Masters Of Deceit: The Story Of Communism In America And How To Fight It by J. Edgar Hoover and funny enough set him on the path of becoming a communist. Said that after slogging through the droll and dull dipshittery of most of the book and you see what the then-leader of the FBI was describing the menace of American communists posed, it was basic shit like "they joined unions and helped fight for workers rights" or "they thought it was a crime against humanity that poor people were starving in the U.S"

here's an excerpt of that right-wing crank's book

"The Party has operated hundreds of major fronts in practically every field of Party agitation: 'peace,' civil rights, protection of the foreign-born, support for (political) 'victims,' abolition of H-bomb tests, exploitation of nationality and minority groups."

Shit those don't sound too bad now, actually. Anyone that isn't a fucking demon would be suspected of being a filthy red then. If you went out and did red charity. If you went down south to fight against Jim Crow. If you helped shelter black families as they migrated from the south to greener pastures across the U.S. If you didn't want to set the world on fire. Anything and anyone that works to improve humanity is considered an enemy of the united states and a communist.

I had a similar experience, sans jail and FBI. During a family gathering, I argued with my father that poor people should not be poor and jobs exploit us all. He's like "this sounds just like some run of the mill Marx and Engels".

So then I read Marx and Engels and now I want to destroy the West

This exact story was also just on the latest chapo, this guy's son is running for mayor of NYC now as a demsucc. small world (or this post was inspired by that)
