    You will post random shit on my wall that's nice.
    I think you're cool
    You sent me a pm if I was in a relationship (isn't that a fash joke? That revleft is a gay dating site?)
    I just wondering dude...
    Your obsession with nazbol. I remember you calling yourself nazbol several times on the chat.
    It's called a joke
    And "they perfer to be called national socialists" bullshit.
    Because name-calling is never good. Just going around calling your enemies "Fascist, Racist, Nazi" sounds illiterate. I call people what they are, even if I don't agree with them. Capitalists are nothing but pigs, but the ideology they follow is capitalism, as such, I call them capitalist.

    Furthermore: who uses the word homosexual in casual conversation?
    That's the scientific term for gay

    My suggestion to you is
    1. Be less stupid.
    Maybe I should...
    You may have to quit this account and make a new one for the sheer embarrassment or continue posting, moving on from this silliness.
    I'll just stop being silly
    2. If you really are fash, get a better hobby.
    Not even white

    Secrets of the fed. Lool.
    Conspiracy theory about banks bullshit. Yeah, that isn't historically connected to antisemitism or anything.
    Well of course I am against the Federal Reserve. Marxist-Leninism is in itself opposed to a Central Bank.

    Remus... He isn't a fascist. Stop acting like an arsehole, recently you seem to have taken this upon yourself to start acting extremely high and mighty with people when you think they are wrong and quite frankly it is tiring. The OP might be a bit naive with this one but everyone is with something at some stage (for the record OP this isn't the greatest of ideas haha!) and just because we don't all share your towering intellect, doesn't give you carte blanche to start shitting on people from a great height.

    Id like to comment on this before I get on a pc and respond to sickle.

    I wasn't calling him a fascist. Nor did I imply that. If you had reading skills you would realize it was taters and not me who said he was fascist. I didn't call him fascist, I said this is why people think he is fascist so he would stop doing these things.

    Just because I don't sugarcode shit does not make me "nean" or elitist. Just because the way I write and talk bothers you does not give you carte blanche to start acting like I shit on everu post.

    I mean why and when did the left turn into "the respectable discourse society"m?

    No, not Nazi uniforms. I was thinking nice Lenin-era Bolshevik style. Of course the trench coats would be a drag if the weather was hot. I still think we should be presentable. With of course communist or leftist paraphanelia and imagery.
    I wasn't aware that historical re-enactment was considered a viable revolutionary tactic

    The pictures of "revolutionaries then" you're linking are of armed militias, though. Demonstrators throughout history aren't usually there dressed up in uniforms, acting orderly. Also, the pictures of Occupy Wall Street you've posted are pictures of people being beaten by cops. You're expecting people to act orderly when they're being assaulted?

    Going to a protest in business casual isn't going to make anyone take you seriously -- nobody takes the Tea Party seriously except for true believers, for instance. Being organized isn't the same as being image-conscious and expecting good press from big media outlets.

    I actually do agree that behaving in a disorderly manner is often a poor idea.

    To be frank however, the fact is that Nazis are always going to look like they want to pound some skulls because assholes like to punch skulls and assholes also love rascism, ergo no matter what they are going to be much better ass kickers than we commies and anarchists who are guided more by compassion and fantasize about hurting others less.

    Rightist groups have always been well organized and that is because Fascists like being told what to do. That is why they are fascists.
    You all have probably seen me argue in favor of Tito and Trotsky, but im not one of those guys anymore.

    I don't know about that man. Back when I actually had to deal with racist scumbags on a daily basis and fight them all the time I was pretty good at kicking their asses. Though you might have a point about my state of physical fitness right now but to be fair I haven't had to fight a racist asshole for a while.
    We claim to live and die equal, the way we were born: we want this real equality or death; that’s what we need.
    And we’ll have this real equality, at whatever price. Unhappy will be those who stand between it and us! Unhappy will be those who resist a wish so firmly expressed.

    Having a decentralized leadership has always been the problem of socialist movements. No one assumes leadership and everyone fuck ups.

    And wanting an organized leadership doesn't make us fascists. Just organized. If "organization" becomes a synonym for "fascism." We have a great problem.

    Propaganda is an important part of the revolution and look what we're looking like right now, a big bunch of dirty hippies.

    I agree with everything you said, all those anarchists are very counter productive.

    We do not need to be more "elegant" or "shape up". We're protesting, not attending a formal ball, and if our bourgeois adversaries happen to be able to afford better clothes and organize their astroturf events better than our grassroots movements, so be it. I hate to sound like an after-school special, but it's not about what you wear, it's about what you do.

    Besides, have you not heard about the Sukhomlinov Effect?

    In a conflict between two armies with uniforms, all other things being equal, the guys with the more elaborate uniforms will lose.

    Well, having fancy parade uniforms doesn't mean it'll be the same uniforms for combat.

    I think he was more referring to the tactics we use. Unfortunately, some of our tactics are pretty thuggish and give the rightist media the opportunity to fuck us over.

    True, but they'll have less to complain about. We could actually gain some public support. I don't know if you realized, but our current image is terrible. They portray us as the spawn of Satan, an Axis of Evil just by ourselves. I think we should find a way to collectively solve this problem.

    You know there's something wrong when the current biggest communist in America is supposedly Obama.

    I found a way around that, I bought the same pair of boots the cops wear. Sometimes they think I'm one of them. Sometimes they don't and they beat the shit out of me though...
