Honestly if people want communism and socialism to be taken seriously you gotta drop all the soviet imagery.
I’ll let the various communist parties currently in power in countries like the PRC, Vietnam, etc. to distance themselves from the hammer and sickle, as you don’t personally take them seriously.
Yeah, it’s just me. lol.
Character*
*Profit for the wealthy.
The irony being that the boomers who say the “builds character” shit had a vastly easier life compared to their parents and grandparents, who fought literal world wars. They think all societal change before them was good (including stuff like colonialism which they see as “civilizing” the savage natives) but any progress after them is the devil because it means they might have to change their behaviour or worldviews, hell, or even the idea that people they think are less than them getting less disadvantaged and oppressed than before which I guess make them jealous or something?
If “Life being worse builds character” then most billionaires don’t have it built.
Life being worse ensures you never get any power.
that’s the unspoken goal.
and everything is harder to accomplish
I swear I saw the original version of this meme with the anarchy symbol instead of the hammer and sickle, though I can’t find it anymore. MLs don’t do anarchist erasure challenge: impossible.
SMH
anarchist erasure
You know you can just repost this with the anarchist symbol pasted over the hammer and sickle in response right? Like you think the OP presumably did to your symbol. If you care, there’s nothing stopping you from erasing us tankies right back, we can handle it. You could even snarkily title it “Perspectives about life (fixed)” or something. Go crazy, this is literally the meme community.
Also, ironic that an anarchist is protesting someone covering up their symbol to express a different thought. No kings or masters or hierarchy but an abstract symbol on a shitpost is sacred and can’t be touched?
The “original” is just Calvin and Hobbes, the only edits are adding symbols for each line of dialogue. I don’t think anarchists can claim to “own” the format of such a meme, it’s not like the original Calvin and Hobbes strip was explicitly an anarchist message or communist message.
Sounds like you’re just making up reasons to dunk on communists.
You don’t have to believe me, I just found it amusing. I remember seeing it and I can also see the hammer and sickle in this one is sharper than the rest of the image, meaning it was pasted over something. Don’t know if OP edited it or found it already edited, but I know the original is out there somewhere.
Liberals talking about how much worse life could be as soon as Mamdani won the NYC mayoral election (suddenly its how much things are supposedly going to get):
