    It’s not a “personal esoteric rejection” it’s a broader grounding in Marxist theory, specifically anti-imperialist theory, dependency theory, unequal exchange, core/periphery and other world systems models, sorry that’s not informed by Twitter and Youtube leftists from the anglosphere-dominated internet, but instead informed by Marxist texts already popular in China and Latin America, but only translated within the past 5 years. Personally I think I’m lucky.

    I think you are the ones with a personal esoteric rejection. It’s like attacking Caleb Maupin and Tariq Nasheed for being sexually perverse, instead of being obvious informants. It’s clear the existence of “patriotic socialists” is met with absolute glee by the online western left. It validates you as much as NAFO people and the CPUSA base.

      you’re posting on an anonymous internet forum called “chapo trap house” if you want to educate people make an actual c/effort post about it and do so. but so far you’re just rocking into a shitpost and claiming to have achieved such great theoretical understanding that you have moved beyond thinking that Settlers is a useful text, which is fine, but you also refuse to elaborate. you’re making assumptions about me at least because i don’t know who the fuck you’re talking about or what glee i’m supposed to be experiencing about patsoc grifters. i’m personally disappointed. so. not really sure what you’re thinking you’re doing here. if this is a bit, then blackmoldfutures did it better

          you have been commenting paragraphs of jargon at me for making a joke about patsocs being scared by Maoist/Third Worldists, i don’t think i’m the upset one here. on a communist shitposting forum. either be more coherent or restrain yourself more, multiple users here are asking if you’re a joke account (bmf aka blackmoldfutures). i’m only half convinced you aren’t a joke account.

          edit:

          Sorry if I disturbed the third worldist (?) validation that these guys give you for having read one pamphlet.

          i have no fucking clue what you think you’re talking to me about or whatever your personal beef with the book Settlers is, but i’m pretty clearly making this thing called a “joke” about how fascists are afraid of it. you know, because this is an unserious thread about making jokes and not having serious academic discussions of historical materialism.

          • I’m glad you bring this up BTW because you can go back and see this is the exact same crowd. Sorry if double replying is antagonistic or something, but just look at how one of the MWM guys used to be part of a Texan Maoist organization. Maupin was at Occupy Wall Street. A lot of the MAGA Communists were literally democratic party vat children mere years ago. Whether that’s a direct ideological connection to the compatible left I’m talking about or fed informants switching up their jobs it’s a good example of how they’re very similar to and contiguous with it. I say they’re just part of it. I ignore the branding.

            Go look at the language used in any of the articles on the More Perfect Union site. Same babble about the Constitution.

              i don’t think double replying is antagonistic, personally. yes, the few of the name-signers on this particular fed-site of nazbol grifters that i recognize are people that were spending their time just a few years ago posting about their readings of Capital

              • All the good stuff in MWM’s work comes from reapplying Gabriel Rockhill and Michael Hudson. You stray outside that and the wrestling coach Liger is turning in sophomoric articles about chronic lyme disease.

                I’m worried people are going to shitcoat it.

                By the way this Tariq Nasheed guy is one of the most obvious informants that has ever lives. Used to be named Marcus Sanders.

                  i’ve kept an eye on eddie liger for the last couple years. he strikes me as like a destiny type that has read more Marx but has all the exact same hang ups in deference to the state structure of the us dictatorship of the bourgeois. his initial criticisms of popular discourse were relatively standard fare, but of course these days it’s full fedposting

                  that’s hilarious holy shit

                  • It seems he got off on a murder plea while others around him went to prison and he went around doing his wedge issue fed shit. It’s disturbing a lot of posters have pointed to him trying to undo peace treaties between gangs that were turning into almost more community oriented organization. Look if we can have socialistic attributes to Arab nationalism it can happen in the hood. I’m no expert.

                    But anyways he was in a Michael Moore movie which has me drawing disturbing parallels between that old curmudgeon and Alex Jones and I’m sure more strange connections will turn up.

          • They are not scared of anyone who they are able to indefinitely feud with online, no. Don’t kid yourself. If you don’t believe me, refer to any of their monologues about antagonizing “soyboy leftists” and the far right for engagement. They thrive off of outrage bait. It seems you are glazing over everything I’m saying. There’s no time limit on responding to my mountains of “jargon”. Just go live your life. Unless you really need to pretend you know better, just go drink some water and go for a walk.

              you are being mind-shatteringly serious about a joke. do you not understand what jokes are? i have not claimed anything to do with Settlers other than a familiarity with the general contents. to make a joke. you’re posting to a lot of people that they need to read another pamphlet and talking about who all is a fed, which is a wild thing to do so seriously about a joke. it’s not that i necessarily agree with you or not, i just don’t think you understand the current location you’re in. i think that Settlers is flawed and that i’m not well-read enough to attempt any form of organized sectarian resistance to american empire from within. i personally have distaste for Maoist/tw rejection of aes countries. but i made a joke about settlers because it’s a meme. again, not sure if you know what jokes are because you seem to be thinking that i genuinely believe that fascists are afraid of settlers. i do not. that is why it’s a joke to say that they are. because they make a lot of noise as if they are. which is how jokes work.

              • None of this analysis is actually predicated on the fixation “patsocs” have on Settlers. It is just one angle from which we can discuss their need to draw people into online feuds to gain notoriety, and their factual links to the compatible left in the US, like how Pettis used to be a Maoist, but there are oodles of examples. I just use it as a springboard, I used another random comment in the other thread about this.

                Writing these people off with inaccurate and simultaneously sensationalist + downplaying descriptions doesn’t help. I think Ben Norton has the best strategy for dealing with their attacks. Ignore them except for one recent response video.

                Settlers has its own interesting history but I’d rather not get into that either. My point is these guys are not so different from orgs posted around here and that’s not a good sign haha

                  yeah sure, i personally am doubtful of any particular org posted around here. this is an anonymous forum populated by internet shitposters that like communism and trans people and hate general reactionary sentiments and actions. sectarianism doesn’t fly here; this isn’t a suitable place to organize or i think to make serious defences of any particular us “communist” org. i personally think that any openly communist org of any size is in some way captured because of the general violence imposed by the american empire. but people who are sectarian usually get banned soon enough. the user you’re being compared to, u/blackmoldfutures was famous for posting rants about “DSA Karens” that were a bit too explicitly anti ancom to really fly. there’s a high likelihood it was a bit, but no one can be too sure, might have just been someone a bit too cranky to understand effective text communication. this is a small site though, people here posting about it is effectively ignoring it for most of us.
