Trolling Glenn Beck's Facebook.

[The Ben G]

Here is what I said.

'Glenn Beck is scum. I am a proud anarcho socialist. Death to capitalism. And, if you really want to know, Capitalism kills more people in 1 month than fake socialism has killed in 80 years.

Capitalism causes slavery, rascism, homophobia, sexism, ect.

and no, Stalin, Mao, ect. are not my gods nor will they ever. They are... scum. Like your gods Bush, Cheney and of course, Glenn Beck.

And if you are going to ask, no, Obama is not a socialist. He has no socialist policies.'

[RadioRaheem84]

You're going to get a slew of right wing ignorance slung at you.

ITT: RAH RAH FIGHT THE POWAH YOU'RE SCUM ETC ETC

1. This should not be in Politics.

2. Grow up.

[Communist]

Come on, I mean...troll someone with actual power if you feel compelled
to make a statement. Or far better, join a protest. Get involved where
our actions can make a difference. The trolling? LOL Click, delete.

This obsession with Glenn Beck on the part of many leftists is starting to
worry me quite frankly. Everytime that clown mentions us, our stock goes
up. I would hope more people would have realized that by now.
People don't take him half as seriously as many on the left believe, and to be
very honest, absolutely noone pays half the attention to his nonsense as many
of the left do.
Worry about the Obamas and the Bidens and the people with actual power,
who are screwing us to the ground literally, not these media morons who are
quite likely being paid by the establishment (on both sides of the so-called
aisle) to provide these distractions.

[pastradamus]

I honestly dont know why you even bothered comrade.

[pastradamus]

Moving this to chit chat. It dosent belong here.

Beckites must be engaged in order gain a better understanding of what a large part of the American public is thinking. Its good to know exactly what their arguments are while sensibly engaging them.

Shouting "death to capitalism" isn't going to get you any more than a few generic conservative wise-cracks.

and no, Stalin, Mao, ect. are not my gods nor will they ever. They are... scum.

WTF are you talking about? Stalin and Mao were awesome!

yes, I was just reading about the Invisible Committee and The Coming Insurrection and how Beck mentioned the book on his show, subsequently bumping its Amazon ranking from #432 to #7 in 24 hours.

I think its also important to mention that Beck is essentially the only mainstream to seriously talk about communism in a long time.

He is making an all out push to make Nazism and Communism mean to same thing to the American public.

I wote glenn beck is a poopy face on his facebook page hahahaha I'm so clever.

Could this indirectly be a good thing? In that - it could potentially get people to evaluate communism on their own (backfiring in Glenn Beck's face), rather than it being just a buzzword?

[Dimentio]

If you are trolling someone, you should troll them in an intelligent kind of way.

[redsky]

Thank you, forum moderator (3/15/1812). Well said.

I know you're not an ML but... really?

[Sam_b]

The fuck is an 'anarcho socialist' anyway?

I think it's halfway to an anarcho-trot.

Doubtful. More likely, the association of Communism with Nazism (the one thing most Americans genuinely hate) will provoke more ignorant people to label any kind of leftist reforms as 'Fascist' because the reforms have been associated with Communism by ideologues. Remember that genuine Fascism, historically, has almost always been propelled to power by strong anti-Communist sentiments, and I think that's what Glenn Beck is going for.

My exact reaction.

Its not trolling if its something you believe in. Trolling requires reaction getting while having your tongue firmly in your cheek. Otherwise you're just shouting opposing views you believe loudly and poorly.

If you're hell bent on doing this, take on the persona of some crazy tea-bagger, take your views a little more extreme than others then watch them all agree with you. Take it further, watch some more. Pretty soon you have a group of people pretending to be civilized showing their true colors, all because some freedom loving american told THE TRUTH about them colored boys that that damn liberal fox news was too afraid to say.

[Sam_b]

I don't know if it really is something he believes in. In the post he calls himself an 'anarcho socialist', in his user title describes himself as a 'libertarian Trotskyist', has an avatar which condemns "revisionism" and links to the Green Party in his signature!

Is he the new Oktyabr?

[Chambered Word]

We should actually try and engage these people and let them know we're all for 'freedom'.


...if we have nothing better to do, of course.

[Glenn Beck]

You're going to blow my cover, asshole

Funnily enough I haven't seen Ben G in this thread for a while.

Im embarressed for you...

lol

Sometimes I think the guy is crazy but I can't help but feel suspicious that maybe he's the biggest IRL troll ever.

[IslamicStalinist]

ROFL, I can imagine all those rednecks raging behind their monitors right now, LOL.
