I don’t like to see so many political posts in all and so many weird images in comment sections

    It’s not political, it’s right wing troll factories trying to stir up the real left and make socialism look bad. They’re trash.

      As a left-leaning person that would be nice to believe, but I have seen young teenagers who get a taste of shitty capitalism just run to the other side of the spectrum and become ‘communists who know nothing about communism except that it’s better than capitalism’.

      I think actually building a working system of governance that doesn’t concentrate corruptible levels of power in a few hands is hard, and many people lack the patience and intelligence to work out the problem. So they run to ‘easy answers’ that make them feel morally superior and offer the chance of something different (even if worse), especially when they are young and reactionary.

      Its the same way some Bernie fans ran to Trump because they lacked the patience to dismantle the duopoly for real, so they hoped he’d do it somehow. We’re all feeling worse off, but at least they got to 'show the democrats, right?

        I think you’re both right. I think some of it is right wing people trying to convince the people you’re talking about to abandon morality and not question the “communist” countries (which somehow they still include Russia?) no matter what they do. They don’t care about doing what’s best for workers if it’s anti-western. That’s not leftist.

      Compelling concecture. I also wonder if there are really groups of people like that (i mean, how do they behave in physical, that must be sort of punks?) – or if it is part of an orchestrated disruption and possibly false flag. I read it’s only about 15 accounts to block if one wanted to get rid of the obnoxious ones.

      Have any hints that back it up?
      Edit: do not mind, i have read farther down. It also seems to have deviated from the original CTH community, as in “unfriendly take-over”, which was even stated by a HB account.

      Besides, this helped me to finally understand the confusion about the “liberal” adjective. It’s understood differently in USA, from most everywhere else. :-)
