Zoners You Suspect Of Communism

Forums:

Hey guys. Thought it might be fun to compile a list of zoners you suspect are communist sympathizers.

This happened in the 50's, and everything turned out totally cool. Let's start naming names. 

Anyone who has called FTW or DeadCo a “money grab,” or anyone who has used the phrase, “humping Jerry’s corpse.”

1.) John K. 

Does this mean "In Phil We Trust" will start to appear on the currency?   Or "one nation, on psychedelics"  will be added to the pledge???  

Phil drives a Ferrari. Obviously he's no Marxist.

What's the difference between a communist and a socialist?

I think I support one more than the other, but I wasn't paying attention in school that day so I'm not sure if I support either.

And what about communist empathyzers? A greater threat in the long run?

The real threat is Communist Synthesizers! Sure, you think it's harmless now, but just you wait!!!

That communist synthesizer killed 30 million people.

Never. Forget.

the communist jam never stops

It's funny. 

Trump and libertarians wants to get rid of the State.

Communism gets rid of the State.

They should be Communists. 

lol

That MarkD guy claims to be a Socialist, but sometimes I wonder........

In the introduction, editor Stéphane Courtois states that "Communist regimes... turned mass crime into a full-blown system of government." According to Courtois, the death toll amounts to 94 million.  Courtois writes that Communist regimes are responsible for a greater number of deaths than any other political ideal or movement, including Nazism. The statistics of victims include deaths through executions, man-made hunger, deportations, and forced labor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Book_of_Communism

The most absolute Power, that is the communist U.S.S.R., China and preceding Mao guerrillas, Khmer Rouge Cambodia, Vietnam, and Yugoslavia, as well fascist Nazi Germany, account for near 128,000,000 of them, or 84 percent.

Those are staggering numbers. Hopefully the college kids waving the ol' Sickle and Hammer in their "safe spaces" on campus, and the mouth breathing "southern pride" American Nazis protesting the removal of Confederate monuments can find some time away from being outraged on Twitter to educate themselves on the 20th century.

Even though they called themselves Communist, their governments were anything but. 

2.) Floops

I think Floops makes a fair claim.

 

>>>>Phil drives a Ferrari. Obviously he's no Marxist.<<<<

 

Is Phil's Ferrari not red?

>>>  the death toll amounts to 94 million.  Courtois writes that Communist regimes are responsible for a greater number of deaths than any other political ideal or movement, including Nazism.

You get 94 million by apparently deciding to add up:  1) Russian Civil War (communist revolution); 2) Starvation in Russia during the great depression; 3) World War II (apparently, I could be wrong); 4) The Chinese civil war (communist revolution); and 5) miscellaneous other shit. 

 

How many do you get if you consider religion, racism or simple hatred of other people?

Wait. Are you rationalizing the obscene death toll that Communist governments unleashed on their own people in the 20th century, Weird Steve?

Or is this just like a deep dive into the horror?

I still wonder how they get 94 million.

 

some interesting shit here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_and_anthropogenic_disasters_b...

(This one has a combined 17 million for the Russian and Chinese communist revolutions)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_and_anthropogenic_disasters_b...

(this one has the Ukrainian starvation (Holodomor) listed at about 9 million, and the Khmer Rouge at about 2 million)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_and_anthropogenic_disasters_b...(politicides)

(this lists about 10 million in communist purges in Russia, China, and Cambodia.....with a fair amount of massacres of suspected communists in other nations...interesting reading)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_and_anthropogenic_disasters_b...

(this has about 20 million deaths from forced labor in China after the communist revolution....and about 10 million from African slavery in America)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_and_anthropogenic_disasters_b...

(this has some huge numbers from WWII but does not appear useful in adding up deaths associated with  political movement, also seems to include much of the stuff from above?  I dunno so I'm not adding any numbers from that one)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_and_anthropogenic_disasters_b...

This one is interesting but seems to include stuff from above:  It has Chinese Communists at  34 million, the Russian Communists at 20 million, (the Chinese Nationalists at 10 million), etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_and_anthropogenic_disasters_b...

This one claims 40 to 50 million in various communist famines, but again, seems to be included in the above.

 

I get about 58 million from the above, but most of these estimates range widely, so 94 million is probably entirely consistent with the 58 million, depending on how you count.

 

I suppose my main point in response to all this hand-wringing about the evil bad communists is that:

1)  China and Russia have a long history of massacres and famines.

2)  Both empires were run by an elite that treated the mass of the population as slaves, thus creating real visceral hatred of the perceived oppressors.

3)  Both empires had raging ethic conflicts.

4)  Given the long history of ethnic conflicts, famines, and massacres, it seems rather simplistic to claim that "communism" was all of a sudden to blame when both empires collapsed into civil war.  (Again, the Chinese nationalists killed 10 million before Mao)

 

(Sorry for the bandwidth usage, I love history...this book was one of my textbooks as an undergrad, really boring in ways but really helped one understand why these revolutions occurred:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_and_Social_Revolutions .)

Folks, please avert your eyes from the communist propaganda being shared in this thread. 

I find the Batman meme to be particularly subversive.

Limey bastards.

I feel comfortable expanding our list of dangerous dissidents to include Canadians as well.

Thoughts?

Maybe Communism can make a come back in the 21st century?

Communism 2.1: This time without mass murder!

I'm glad you brought up the Canadians, Mark. We have never seriously addressed the threat a Canadian invasion. 90% of their population lives within 100 miles of an unsecure US border. 

Exactly, OCLT.

We should install mine fields baited with delicious poutine from Maine to Washington state.

China is still going hard with the communism. 20 hr shifts makin’ iPhones, or else.

Indeed. Nothing says "workers of the world unite!" like the suicide nets installed around The People's iPhone Factory.

that is merely the safety net that communism affords all of it's people.

It's a potent symbol of The Revolution, LM.

I believe it was silver and my understanding is Jill made him sell it a few years back

"China is still going hard with the communism. 20 hr shifts makin’ iPhones, or else."

 

China hasn't been Communist since before Mao died. they have stock market, now. THAT is not Communist.

Redneck, China is paving the way for the neo-communist world. Not sure what planet you

seem to be living on but China is the gold standard of communism today.

I'll just stick with the gold!

Awesome too  Noodler !

"According to Karl Marx, the founder of Communism theory, Communism would be the cooperative society based on common ownership of the means of production. In this sense, China is no where near a typical Communist country."

look at all that "instinct value"

Amazing. 

Say what you will about the genocide and slavery in America's past; at least we never had to drive around in those shitty communist compact cars from the 80's. No wonder they lost the Cold War. 

Mark, did you know that Jesus was a Communist? Yes. 

1. share with the poor

2. give the shirt off your back to the poor

3. no money changers in the temples

4. life is the temple

5. the poor again

6. love your neighbors and enemies

7. commune together (get along)

Thoughts?

Oh, and the Jews were the proto-libertarians. How do I know?

Their rules only apply to them. 

More thoughts? 

Is John K a zoner?

Perfect. Looks like we've got another commie name to add to our commie list. 

Mark, did you know that Jesus was a Communist? Yes. 

I tend to disagree. Since pure communism espouses an atheistic state, it stands to reason that Jesus was not down with that. 

Jesus was a hippie, maaan!

If the melons will not go to Siberia, Siberia must go to the melons.

my co-worker has a board with a hammer and sickle.

another friend had a lenin head pipe we used to smoke out of.

>You need help bro

Good call, Ned.

I think we can safely name a few members of Viva Admin as well.

I went on a class "trip" to the USSR in 1986.

It was excellent, but I think we all left happy that we didn't live there.

Missed the spring tour for that one but it was worth it.

My buddy successfully smuggled out a real Russian "hammer and sickle" flag, 

which came to me when he passed away.

And I saw the GD in Canada.

I must be a commie!

Excellent, LCL.

I'm so pleased to see we've moved to a point where suspected communist dissidents are coming forward by their own volition. 

But are we sure about who's really pulling the strings???

Thank you for the best laugh I've had for a long time! Not only will the revolution be broadcast live on WBAI, they will probably run a contest for front row seats. :-)

However, the revolution will not be televised.
