I honestly can’t be a100% sure whether this is sarcasm or not.
Edit: Here’s the discord screenshot I found.
Also further down the channel I saw this too.
Is it just me or do they actually sound like they are being anti-commie?
Edit 2:
Yeah they are all definitely communist understanders here
[SIGHT] — Right there. That blotch of blue stapled to the end of the username. The suspiciously low follower count. The community notes calling them out for misinformation. This Twitter poster bears a sort of digital aposematism; all the hallmarks of someone who vastly overestimates their own importance.
— And this no-name on some non-descript Discord is a revisionist on top of everything else, if not wholly against Mazovian thought. You’re not wasting your time engaging with this drivel, are you?
— I’m engaging with it, alright. I’m engaging with it hard.
[Hard: Success] — Ooh, yes, good show, comrade! An excellent show, indeed! What will it be, then? Inducing a massive struggle session? Manipulating the power users to eventually seize control of the server? Death threats? Goodness, I hope it’s death threats!
— “Kim, take a look at this post. It’s a revisionist.”
— “That would appear to be so. Does this have something to do with the investigation?”
— “Absolutely. If we can find some evidence to connect this post to this murder, then we’re gonna blow the whole case wide open.”
— “Of course.” The lieutenant turns his attention back to the crime scene. “Let me know if you find anything else, Detective.”
Sounds like it to me. That’s the line my schoolbooks took; the section on Marx was exclusively about how he “never did real work and wanted to take from the people who did”
My favorite response to that is “the method of analysis and ideology that he developed became the very basis of governance and societal development for a nation of 1.4 billion people that is currently ascendant. It has helped lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty - responsible for probably the most significant, rapid increase in living standards in human history. But go ahead, History Teacher, tell me what you have accomplished with your life that’s comparable. I mean, I know you bowled a 300 that one time, but other than that…”
Ireland hasn’t stolen any land or created any concentration camps either. Wonder if there’s a connection?
I can say it is sufficiently anti-commie because there wasn’t instantly a debate on the right way to read Das Kapital.
Yeah there’s really no way to take “you have to keep in mind who wrote it” except that some aspect of Karl Marx’s life and person is supposed to put things into perspective negatively.
Not sure I get the link between disco elysium and this hasbara guy?
