why did you became a communist

[The Red Next Door]

Why did you became a communist and what did your friends and family think about you becoming a communist.

[Honggweilo]

for the lulz

[Robocommie]

Because if there's one thing I don't like, it's controversy. So I became a Communist...

[hugsandmarxism]

Because capitalism sucks.

These (de)motivational pictures are slowly becoming annoying.

[Rusty Shackleford]

i did it so i could argue endlessly about political and economic theory with my friends.

For the money , women and drugs.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

becoming a Stalinist was the only way to rebel against my hippie trot parents

[Rollo]

Because it sounded sexy and I thought it would get me laid.

It totally did.

[DecDoom]

For great justice.

[hugsandmarxism]

These (de)motivational pictures are slowly becoming annoying.

It's either these or anime gifs. Pick your poison comrade. :p

[Pogue]

Because I like stealing people's possessions and sharing a communal bed when I get home from the job the government assigned me.

[Lyev]

This is why I became a communist-

You cannot stop revolution with soft, absorbent paper towels!

[Raúl Duke]

I became a communist (anarcho-communist) after one could say a somewhat long (I started sometime around 16/17 and it somewhat ended at 18-19 when I got into actual leftism) transition of learning about society (books, videos, etc),experiences, and observations lead me to accept left politics.

Why? I don't know...at first I was wondering on ways to make "our society better". then I learned more about many issues and problems (e.g. globalization, it's negative effects, causes, etc) and realized that capitalism presented a problem. Afterwards, left politics just became a part of my perspective and I tend to see communism as a goal that is in my interests.

[Spawn of Stalin]

I was 16 years old and about to drop out of school, figured I needed something to pass the time so I became a Communist. That's pretty much all there is to it.

[Pogue]

I come from a working class socialist tradition and picked up those ideas. I have memories of collectivist spirit in my head from a young age which naturally led me to accept socialist ideas myself, with encouragement from my family.

[Sir Comradical]

Marxshallah! I converted to communism two years ago after reciting "There is no god but marx with comrade lenin as his prophet".

[Invincible Summer]

I took my first sociology course with a prof who was a Frankfurt-school Marxist.

After attending all his lectures, I decided that socialism/communism was the only way to solve the world's problems. I was pretty apolitical before that too... and I attributed it to the fact that reformist politics can never get anything done

[Spawn of Stalin]

Actually my Mum is an anarchist so I suppose that helped a little. But I didn't accept Stalin as my personal saviour until a few years ago, that's when I got saved.

[Bilan]

I wanted to improve my sex life. Now, here I am.
It is only marginally different.

[bailey_187]

Studied the Weimar republic at school and thought the Communists were cool. Then when we were going to do Russian Revolution in history i thought i should read more about Communism. So i did.

[Nwoye]

the communist club at my old school gave out donuts at their meetings.

the rest is history

[Sir Comradical]

Actually my Mum is an anarchist so I suppose that helped a little. But I didn't accept Stalin as my personal saviour until a few years ago, that's when I got saved.

How does your mum deal with that?

[NecroCommie]

You don't get it. Mothers don't deal with stalinist children, but the stalinist children "deal" with their mothers. :cool:

Personally, left-wing politics always ran in the family. I was always quite the radical leftist at heart, and it was only a matter of valid theories and maturity. I started to study communism after I got fed up with people telling me who to hate (communists). I just could not accept the fact that people who seek for equality could be so "evil". I later found out that it was the other way around, and that the "evil" ones were the nationalist hatebreeders.

[Sir Comradical]

You don't get it. Mothers don't deal with stalinist children, but the stalinist children "deal" with their mothers. :cool:

Stalin himself cursed his mother, so that doesn't sound very pleasant.

Isn't that the opposite of how it's supposed to happen?

Oh she's okay with it because she's not a complete idiot, she's anti-authoritarian and she doesn't like my politics but she doesn't believe half the lies about Stalin and the Soviet Union because she's cool and she's done her research with an open mind. Same with my Uncle really, he was heavily involved in Class War and Bash the Rich in the '80s and is an anarchist, but I've never heard him spurting any crap about Stalin being an insane murderer.

Your parents sound cool. I wouldn't defend Stalin, but I agree that his crimes have been exaggerated.

Fine, be that way :thumbdown:

Good thing I'm not really a communist right guys?

that, comrade, is an excelent poster

although I am particularly fond of the other one with the heroic worker and the background composed of a red flag above a mass of armed peasants

Because I never tire of having so-called 'discussions' with some morons who think they're leftist.

Yes, that means you.

that is an amazing poster. where did you get it?

[Knight of Cydonia]

because internet is serious business and i got too much time to waste in front of my PC's monitor all day long

[hugsandmarxism]

Twilight. Anime is nuanced, and I'm sure there is some even a smug guy like yourself could enjoy... and Twilight has vampires that glow... :glare:

I can't remember :lol:

I find alot of this stuff here (http://www.sovmusic.ru/english/p_list.php), but I have reason to believe that I either somehow got it enlarged or found a bigger version. The PRC had alot of posters of a similar nature.

http://www.iisg.nl/landsberger/images/fe10.jpg (http://www.iisg.nl/landsberger/sheji/sj-wb.html)

"Awakened peoples, you will surely attain the ultimate victory!" (1963) for instance.

[GatesofLenin]

Because I got sick of being told what to do by my countries government and the daily reports of greed and fraud caused by our elected "democratic" officials just made me boil over. If ever time comes for a revolution, I've got names for MAJOR payback!

[blank]

i am become c after tech school. i was in class after katrina. i meet people that suffer from that in class. start amking me think more than just about me. not really start, but really make me concerned begin about other people how they suffer from this. i hate amerikkka since i was thirteen, but still played the me game and get rich want, and not care about other people, but i hate amerikkka and not fully understand what i was doing was no different. later in tech school i take class for linux, and got involved in linux community. i begin to imagine society run like this way and suggest this with someone who was more read than i. i never read marx, and he suggest i do so i read marx and i agreed with these. i was astonished, i thought c was ver bad like nazi, but was opposite. so i identified myself with communism, and develop beyond to maoism and eventualy third worldism. i even went to nola after and see this place first hand

[Luisrah]

Because I want to rule the world as supreme dictator and kill off... *makes calculations according to how many people Stalin ''murdered'' in proportion to the population of the country*... 4 billion people!

Duh, why did you ask? :confused:

[Random Precision]

Why? The Sermon on the Mount.

[RHIZOMES]

because internet is serious business and i got too much time to waste in front of my PC's monitor all day long

Yep, if I didn't spend such an unhealthy amount of time on the internet I never would have become a communist.

[REVLEFT'S BIEGGST MATSER TROL]

You guys know how on those Ciales commercials tell you to seek medical help if you have an erection for more than 3 days
Yeah
I didn't see the doctor
That is where communism actually comes from

Along with bad towels

[Schrödinger's Cat]

I don't know whats more annoying, anime or Twilight.

Poorly dubbed anime, but only because it has potential.

Anime can be very artistic and intellectual. Case in point: Mushi-shi (http://www4.funimation.com/video/?page=video&v=221).

Yes, some dubbed anime can out do Twilight in the lameness department. Ninja Scroll the TV series is a brilliant example of how a dub can make a bad thing worse (not to be confused with Ninja Scroll the movie). For example, one of the villains in this pile of shit was voiced in the squidward voice :blink:

[Arlekino]

When majority society can’t afford house builds or even to buy food and few upper class can afford to pay in restaurant 100 euros for meal of course I am communist!

Hilarious! They never do tell you what happens if you don't see a doctor.

Looks like the answer is Bolshevism.

It can't be Bolshevism, you catch that from washrooms.

[Panda Tse Tung]

I think it's pretty sad their using kids for political purposes.
Anyway, why did i become a communist.
It sorta just made sense, at first it didn't. But eventually i was like... hmmmz, good point there. On several topics i already questioned as a kid but couldn't find any reasonable answers too.

Hey! I just got an idea! This could become a new stalinist meme! Like, on youtube people always comment on girls: "I'd fuck her", so we start looking for assholes and then we comment: "I'd purge him/her" Awesome!
