I really don't understand why this is such an issue right now.

/r/communism has been seen as anti-r/Mensrights for a long time now.

I had a brief look at the top thread there, and I found this gem:

I personally think there's no way you can be a communism without being a feminist, and no way you can be a feminist without being at least left-wing. when you fight against one type of oppression, you soon realize you have to fight against every single type.

Translation: "There is my set of political values and positions, and there is oppression. You either believe what I believe or you are an oppressor."

Fundamentalism by another name...

Sadly when progressiveness became less about workers their rights and representing them and providing for the betterment of all people and instead started catering to feminists and minorities was when they started losing the male vote and the workers votes.

Why should anyone care?

Post something about a major communist figure saying something about MRAs and that might be worthwhile.

But anonymous people on the internet? Don't bother.

Yeah. I posted there a short while ago because they said something that was entirely black-white/boolean thinking so I told them it's actually a bit more complicated than that. They banned me then slung the sort of low-brow insults you expect from SRS.

I'm having a hard time believing they are communist any more than /r/anarchism is anarchist. Aside from being intensely authoritarian, I heard that communism is incompatible with feminism because communism is materialist and feminism is post-modern. I don't know quite what that means though.

MarioAntoinette · 2012-10-30T01:59:02+00:00

I'm somewhat convinced that feminism was invented by capitalists to undermine socialism, by making left-wing politics all about priviledged women complaining rather than working men getting stuff done. /r/communism really makes it seem plausible.

Look at that comic the fucktard just posted. A guy saying 'class should come first' is one of the examples given of someone who is 'not his comrade'. Well, guess what? If class isn't the most important aspect of society for communism to focus on, you are doing it wrong. Even the straw-man who was written as an example of a bad communist is a better communist than these fuckwits.

I'm not even a communist and I'm pissed of at these fucking bourgeois wankers pissing all over the memory of millions of people who actually spent their lives struggling against oppression by turning their movement into another social club for rich white american girls to whine about men.

I try to tell people that SRS are part of the radical left, but they don't like to hear it.

But it's true.

Feminism and communism have been inextricably linked since the 1840s. Marx and Engels both wrote extensively on it.

2012-10-30T11:29:25+00:00

4,086 comrades dont get what communism is about. This is sad.

XuriousPeng · 2012-10-30T02:27:07+00:00

"Men's Rights is not a left/right issue"

Yeah right! lol

ClaudeKenni · 2012-10-30T07:45:10+00:00

If a bunch of closed minded bigots want to hate us, that's their problem. Communism seems to be very similar to SRS, in that they are entrenched in their prejudices, and aren't willing to even debate that they might be wrong. I think, in truth, their narrow minded hostility only causes any sane minded person to ignore them, which is a shame really, because I do agree with the core premise that class (or more accurately wealth), is the biggest divider in society today.

I already did. What western man in his right mind would see Communism as anything else?
