The actual comic strip The Boondocks was Black Power Marxist agitprop and was so radical many newspapers moved it to the editorial section or got rid of it altogether. And Calvin and Hobbes laid bare the absurdity of the human condition so incredibly that it was almost impossible to believe yoou were reading a comic strip.But that's not the kind of reading MLs mean when they smugly tell you to "read theory." They mean read Mark or Lenin or Mao or even - god fucking help me - Stalin.

They don't seem to understand that to most of the world, those writers are absolutely boring AF, and it's better to suggest more entertaining writers who use Marxist theory in their work.I am an anarchist, and Robert Anton Wilson's writing is still the hugest influence on my entire worldview, and especially the part where he insists that you cannot dogmatically believe anything without losing the ability for rational and open thought.

I HAVE read Marxist theory. And I find quite a bit of it to be compelling. But I don't think there is any "one size fits all" theory that can tackle the problems humanity faces.That's why radical and unwavering Communists are a joke. They honestly think Marxist-Leninist communism and ONLY Marxist-Leninist communism can save the world.

If you ask most anarchists how they plan to change the world many of them will admit they're just winging it and trying to adapt as the world changes and adopt new models as the old ones are proven wrong.

@killyourfm I'm in Texas and if I see one more tankie say "voting as harm reduction doesn't work" I'm going to scream. Will the GOP be voted out in the Texas mid-terms? Probably not. But that's no excuse not to try because this shit is genuinely frightening. Especially since I am on disability:https://progresstexas.org/blog/top-10-worst-sh-2022-texas-republican-party-platform

@HSTG Are you saying it's "The Onion" or "Reductress" BS as in it is satire, or that the story itself is BS because it wasn't at the time. (December 2017) https://www.salon.com/2017/12/04/alt-right-women-are-upset-that-alt-right-men-are-treating-them-terribly/

@HSTG you mean sow discord? And I guess that's fine if you think that. Honestly I've been posting this screenshot with the Leopards joke for 5 years and considering this post has gotten more boosts and stars than any other, I think others find it funny too so I'm not gonna argue the point anymore.

@onan been a member since Ivan Stang and the rest of you hooligans set up rooms in the Dallas Fantasy Fairs back in the late 80s. I'm so happy to see my fellow Subgeniuses on here

If you really want to piss off Elon Musk, you can remind him that Twitter tanking is a glorious example of the Free Market working perfectly 😆

@RevFlan I still have my original copy from the 80s. It's falling apart but I still have it. And Revelation X and the third smaller book

@onan@dobbs town The most fictional thing about the X-Files is that I am reasonable certain Fox wouldn't willingly join an organization responsible for COINTELPRO and the assassinations of both MLK and Fred Hampton. He'd be more like that crank Max Fenig in the show who lived in an RV and trying to find his sister that way
