Stalin vs. Trotsky, the baby years
lmao a long time ago I drunkenly summed up state and rev as "the only thing that can stop a bad class with a state is a good class with a state"

Bitch, you are a serf. We're in- we're in fucking 1320, motherfucker. You are a serf. Bitch, you live in Alsace.
whats the origin of this one
It's a funny rant by Brace Belden on the TrueAnon podcast. He's trying to get across how far away from an actual socialist revolution our society is.
It's a copypasta
You are a serf. Bitch, you live in Alsace. You are a peasant. You need to give your fuckin’ lord the grain. Your fucking children, you’ve had 15 children. You’ve never taken a bath. You’ve literally never. washed. your. penis. You’ve never used toilet paper. Motherfucker, you have worms. You are dying. You’ve had 40 children, 3 of them are alive. 2 of them are child soldiers in the Duke’s army.
Bitch, the greatest thing you can hope for is to die at the old age of 36. You fucking can’t read. You don’t know what TV is. If you were transported into today, you would be the worst gamer of all time. You don’t know shit. You literally probably don’t even know what the direction ‘left’ is. I’m sure some Medieval guy is gonna get mad at me for this, bitch I’ve been to the Renaissance Fair. I’ve eaten a large turkey wing, which the Juggalos call ‘bitch beaters’, which I think is problematic but a funny thing to call them.
Motherfucker, you gotta recognize where you are, and then you gotta get passed that. You gotta be unemotional. You can’t sink into this hole. You live in the oubliette. Your job is to crawl up the ladder, motherfucker. You live in the HOLE. You’re in the HOLE. You are a RAT. And the rat, when he’s in the hole gets fucked. People only throw trash in the hole.
You need to eat a body. And you need to carry the plague. And you need to carry a plague around this whole world, that will change this whole fuckin world. And all your enemies will vomit black bile and will choke on blood and will grow boils and die. But only if you get together with your other RATS. And you come up with some kind of super plague, to fuckin end your enemies and…
End. This. Nightmare.
What episode is this from?
“give me that fucking infant”

[Zhukov] A modern soldier's greatest fear, it's not death, it's not starvation, it's chafing!
[Khrushchev, interjecting] ...And then he planted the flag in Hitler's bunker or he knocked the bear out with one punch.
[Zhukov] ...It was Goebbels's bunker, not Hitler's!
[Zhukov] A modern soldier’s greatest fear, it’s not death, it’s not starvation, it’s chafing!
Truly a warrior poet. Chafing sucks.

Capitalism more like crapitalism amirite
Not communist per se, but I like this quote which I think is from Lula:
Those in power can kill one, two, or three roses, but they will never be able to stop the coming of spring
Oh and the Chad from that vice documentary:
The kind Vladimir Ilyich would've shot everybody here.
Why don't you live for the people? Why don't you struggle for the people? Why don't you die for the people? - Fred Hampton
You can jail a revolutionary, but you can't jail the revolution - Fred Hampton
Dare to struggle! Dare to win! - Mao
We must dare to invent the future - Thomas Sankara
I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change, I am changing the things I cannot accept - Angela Davis
Sometimes, history needs a push - Lenin

I believe in only one thing, the power of human will - Stalin
-I had never seen this before, nor knew Stalin said it. Aww, Papa Joe, come back… please?

Several lines, but feels particularly relevant these days. From James Baldwin:
The people who are running around throwing people in jail and ruining reputations and screaming about Communists wouldn’t know one if he fell from the ceiling. And wouldn’t care! What they are concerned about is propping up somehow the doctrine of white supremacy, so that they can seem to have given it up, but really still hold the power.

If you don't steal from your boss, you're stealing from your family.
“A man is not killed when his heart is struck by a bullet; he is killed when he is cancelled.” - Joseph Stalin
“A woke peasant can harvest plenty of soy.” - Ho Chi Minh
“Many men wish death upon me. Lord, I don't cry no more; I don't look to the sky no more. Have mercy on me.” - Fidel Castro

This is actually hilarious.
"I John Brown am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with Blood. I had... vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed, it might be done."
I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. No! no! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; – but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present! I am in earnest – I will not equivocate I will not excuse – I will not retreat a single inch – AND I WILL BE HEARD. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal, and to hasten the resurrection of the dead.
William Lloyd Garrison, in the introduction to the first issue of the abolitionist paper The Liberator
"there are no liberators. the people liberate themselves" - che, iirc
Death to America
We're coming for that toothbrush.
a fascist jerked off today, did you?
“I know that after my death a pile of rubbish will be heaped on my grave, but the wind of history will sooner or later sweep it away without mercy.” -Stalin
“If you tremble with indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine.” Che
No altar, no belief, no holy book, neither the Qur’an nor the Bible nor the others, have ever been able to reconcile the rich and the poor, the exploiter and the exploited. And if Jesus himself had to take the whip to chase them from his temple, it is indeed because that is the only language they hear.” Thomas Sankara

Socialism or barbarism.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. Stephen Jay Gould
Poor countries aren't underdeveloped, they are overexploited. Parenti.
Easy way to remember how to spell "bourgeoisie":
1: type "bourg" because that's the easy part to remember.
2: type a bunch of vowels at random and chuck an "s" in there somewhere.
3: auto-correct should be able to guess it at this point.

“'Where is imperialism?” Look at your plates when you eat. These imported grains of rice, corn, and millet – that is imperialism.”
