Wow, never has a website been more divorced from reality and more propagandistic. It makes the DPRK's propaganda seem realistic.

Edit:Maybe it is just a massive troll site...

First they ignore you, then they ridicule you...

For what it's worth, here's the Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People%27s_Cube)

[Triple A]

I wonder why you would waste time going trough stuff like that.

[WeAreReborn]

I must admit I laughed. I mean it's obviously based on misinformation and stupidity but some of the jokes are clever if what they were attacking was actually our position.

[Ocean Seal]

The objective of the Progressive movement is to force a change in the society so that we no longer have to wait around for voluntary contributions from the guilty. Instead, we will forcibly extract as much money as we deem necessary to maintain and advance Progress™, which is our brand name for systematic wealth extraction. A planned extraction facilitates control over the guilt-ridden masses by well-meaning Party apparatchiks and a more seamless central planning of state-run economy in the name of the Common Good™, which is our brand name for state-run economy. And since everything that is being done for the Common Good™ automatically becomes a historically inevitable necessity, it is absolutely necessary to take the power away from wealth creators and give it to wealth distributors.Our Strategy
Stimulate the feeling of guilt in wealth creators no matter how much money they've already given us.

What's ironic about this particular message is that they're complaining that we make the rich feel guilty about having gold fucking bricks, but at the same time trying to make the working class feel guilty for being so greedy as to ask for a few social services--while making the "wealth creators"=="super cool guys without whom we would be at a loss"=="people from whom we (the working class) extract surplus value" suffer with the thought of losing one of their mansions. :thumbup:
Nope, I don't feel guilty for saying that the ruling class is almost entirely composed of wealthy assholes who don't work nearly enough to make 1/10 of their money. I don't care about them. Working class:p.

[Drosophila]

Why oh why are so many people so stupid

[IndependentCitizen]

The humour is so poor, it's a joke in its own right.

[ComradeMan]

Guys... there's probably an internet site out there on the great toilet wall that is internet that upsets just about anyone.... do not pay heed to foolishness otherwise you may become foolish yourself.

[NewLeft]

This is the sort of shit you get when teabaggers get bored.

Looks like they put a lot of work into that site too. What a waste of internet, and of my bandwidth for loading it, pity.

[Bud Struggle]

It's a joke. Don't take it seriously.

Just laugh it off.

Wow.....I am just dying of laughter.....

Well if you weren't a Communist--as the vast majority of the people in the world aren't--you'd see just how clever it really is. :)

It's like George Carlin. Some people think he was the funniest guy alive--some think he was just plain stupid. It all depends on your political taste.

[Lenina Rosenweg]

It's interesting how the site is called the "People's Cube", as in the notorious "4 Cube Guy". I think the title is meant to be a self conscious parody.

The humor is about as coherent.

Are you seriously comparing George Carlin to this joke of a website?

[DinodudeEpic]

The site is actually mocking the Tea Party's views. The anti-communist content is really just a parody of a tea party site.

Honestly, why get angry over some stupid website anyways. Trolls are everywhere, fight them with cute animals and sieg farts.

[Catmatic Leftist]

They have a Progressive Truth Generator. It says type in a name-specific "class enemy" and it will generate a random insult (sadly, the text generated isn't too far from the average comment on RevLeft :mellow:)

I typed in "Karl Marx":

"Karl Marx, you are a two-faced pig because you voted for George Bush!"

[Bud Struggle]

Ok, Ok, Ok, Maybe Carlin wasn't the best example--Here's a site some people will find funny and some won't depending on their particular beliefs:

http://www.landoverbaptist.org/

(though I never found George Carlin funny in the slightest.)

[superiority]

That website was delisted from Google because it included a bunch of "keywords" in the body of the page at the bottom the same colour as the background (so that the site would show up in searches for those terms). Google considers this an attempt to manipulate search results, so they remove websites that do it. The guy was convinced that he was being politically persecuted (http://thepeoplescube.com/current-truth/google-purges-the-people-s-cube-worldwide-t637.html) for attacking Google's decision to censor search results in China. If you scroll down, you see him quoting a post from a friend of his that says that the fact that no other websites that similarly criticised Google were removed from search results is PROOF POSITIVE that Google is engaging in a campaign of censorship.

It's of note that the author is (was?) actually from the Soviet Union, apparently.

[Lenina Rosenweg]

Yer another examples of revisionist Trotskyite lies and filth.

It is disgusting. Fucking disgusting. It's so horribly fucking disgusting I haven't been able to eat for two days.:rolleyes:

You guys have weak stomachs. Check out "Occupy, Moscow Style" and you may see something to get genuinely worked up about.

"We put the "U" in Gulag!". Hahaha. It has some funny moments, you have to admit.

Ya well.. it's hard to see someone as funny when he is directing his humor at your expense half the time ;)

[Robert]

Ya well.. it's hard to see someone as funny when he is directing his humor at your expense half the time ;)

Nope. No political humor, left or right, ever strikes me as anything but sermonizing. I get enough of that here. :)

Same with art. I want music and paintings to say something about nature or the human condition, not tell me what to do or glorify some political struggle or putsch.

Which is why I hate folk music. Has Joan Baez retired yet please?

[Revolution starts with U]

Political struggle IS the human condition... :rolleyes:

And that's where some Commies need to get outside and talk a walk or something. Hear the birds singing--but I guess it gets too cold to do that way up north near the Arctic Circle where some people live. So I guess we're in for a LOOOONG Winter. :(

Anway, here's how you embed: Take the youtube address,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqipjgPDYxk

hit the youtube thingie at the top of the "go advanced" screen,



Then just put the part of the address AFTER the "=", the "OqipijPDYxk" in between the Youtube thingies and that's it. Don't put the entire address.

[Robert]

Try this: speeches by Fidel Castro, Hitler, and Ronald Reagan are not art.

They are propoganda, even if they involve the human condition.

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTk-M5kkghMWyntrBWpw-E6RQhayPT01PvFozSsx6PqKlWTz5ch

This isn't art either. It's decoration:

The problem with Communism is that lately--after the 30s it produced little to no artand that's one of the reasons I have a quezey feeling in the pit of my belly about it.

If people love something--it should inspire art and I don't mean art ABOUT Communism, I mean an atmosphere that just incudes creativity. I don't see that with Communism.

[Robert]

This is art but I don't know why:

It's not like capitalism inspires art through a love of capitalism.... "art" just "happens"... (I feel like that last comment should have man, or dude or something similar after it :D).

[Robert]

I can barely l get through "Silencio", a song about a gardener's relationship to his flowers without getting kerplunkt.:crying:

Yeah, cause there ain't no commies around stamping it out ... man.

Naw, I don't mean that. Really I kinda do, but Cuban music is just glorious.

Political music is okay if it's anti-commie. But it's not art, man. It's politics.

[ComradeMan]

double post.... damn

But it's not art, man. It's politics.

And Renaissance art was not politics and religion too? ;)

C'mon if this is real then I am a camel with heel shoes.

CAMEL WITH HEEL SHOES.......Thank you K......I have just had my first
erection on the net...just grateful the camel was not wearing suspenders....

Who knows what might have happened?

Yes K .....drivel or maybe my sense of humour by-pass operation was a success.

[Robert]

And Renaissance art was not politics and religion too? ;) Hmmm. Fair question, but not tricky enough to warrant the ";)".

The answer is this: art can deal with any subject. But there are criteria that make it succeed as art or succeed as something else.

A painting of Mao is not art if it is manifestly designed to coerce reverence.

A painting of Hitler staring at a picture of his mother with an anguished look on his face is probably art.

A painting of Hitler stepping on a caricature of a Jew is not art because I said so.

A painting of a worker stepping on a caricature of Bill Gates is not art for the same reason.

A velvet painting of Elvis is not art because it's dishonest. (Long story)

On to the Renaissance, a sculpture of Mary caressing the body of Christ after he is taken down from the cross is art because 1) it inspires reverence for their relationship, and 2) because it's beautiful; and 3) cause I said so.

A painting of the pope sodomizing an altar boy is not art because the purpose is to denigrate an institution (the papacy).

The sculpture of David in Florence is art because it represents the creator's dramatized vision of the ideal human form and because I say so.

[Robert]

I want to have a thread on this subject: "How politics relates to art." Can a mod split this thread beginning with post #40 and give it that title?

Thank you.

[Bud Struggle]

It's not like capitalism inspires art through a love of capitalism.... "art" just "happens"... (I feel like that last comment should have man, or dude or something similar after it :D).

No but art seems to happen in Capitalist countries. It happened pretty nicely in Feudal countries, too. The 10th century cathedrals, pretty much the whole of Italy, the new sky scrapers in Shanghai, Great stuff.

The Paris art scene of the early 20th century, NYC in the 80s and 90s. Hell, the Rock and Roll music of the 60s and 70s and 80s. 30/40 years later it's the Rolling Stones and U2 that are still the high grossing rockers.

Stalin gave sentences that light? I really thought he shot everybody or drove an ice pack through their head(s).

Its not discusing at all, its a clown being a clown, and now that he's dropped from Fox and his radio show is dying, he's a lonely clown. Its interesting that the right NEEDS to establishment to survive or to be anything, whereas the left dies when the establishment gets ahold of it, and thrives outside of the establishment.
