im gunna use it with my 'communist party' shirt. get it??!
Easy access to your trust fund cash anywhere you go you post-ironic hipster pieces of shit. Buy yourself a 100 dollar t-shirt with a recycled corporate catch phrase on it with the father of socialism on your card. Consume consume consume, it’s what Marx would’ve wanted.
chemnitz was called Karl Marx City until 1990. is it so unthinkable that communism's orphaned children might miss their socialist past enough to want to be reminded of it even as the state (sparkasse is public) transitions them from welfare slavery to debt slavery
west germany tore down their factory and gave them a credit card. they know that. they spent a good part of their lives building socialism irl, they aren't stupid

are you kidding? every single form of marxism in the west is a perverted form of socialist thinking that uses marxism as nothing more than a means of preventing capitalism from going completely over into the abyss

this made me look for a funny quote in situationist-jerkoff raoul vaneigem's 'revolution of every day lief' in which he insists the commercial appropriation of socialist imagery only presently robs them of their symbolic efficacy, and that 'red star brewing' or wahtever better watch out lest they have a real Revolution on they hands! anyway i couldn't find it, but check out the opening paragraph lol
The history of our times calls to mind those Walt Disney characters who rush madly over the edge of a cliff without seeing it, so that the power of their imagination keeps them suspended in mid-air; but as soon as they look down and see where they are, they fall.

the fuck you talking about.
communism and socialism have been appropriated for marketing purposes a million times over, the very fact that you're a first world bougie who participates in first world markets but *self defines* (the most liberal of defines) as a communist and thus alleviate some of your -=white bro guilt=- is indicative of the fact that socialism was in fact watered down, repackaged, turned into a commodity and shoved down y)our throat.
it's not like you fucking see cereal boxes with Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman's faces plastered all over them either.

Issue-politics, partial refusal and piecemeal demands are the very thing that blocks transcendence. The worst inhumanity is never anything but a wish for emancipation that has settled for compromise and fossilized beneath the strata of successive sacrifices. Liberalism, socialism and Bolshevism have each built new prisons under the sign of liberty. The left fights for an increase in comfort within alienation, skillfully furthering this impoverished aim by evoking the barricades, the red flag and the finest revolutionary moments of the past. In this way once-radical impulses are doubly betrayed, twice renounced: first they are ossified, then dug up and used as a carrot. "Revolution" is doing pretty well everywhere: worker-priests, priest-junkies, communist generals, red potentates, trade unionists on the board of directors.... Radical chic harmonizes perfectly with a society that can sell Watney's Red Barrel beer under the slogan "The Red Revolution is Coming." Not that all this is without risk for the system. The endless caricaturing of the most deeply felt revolutionary desires can produce a backlash in the shape of a resurgence of such feelings, purified in reaction to their universal prostitution. There is no such thing as lost allusions.

I just mean commercialized. Like there is no communist rage against the machine! or Big Bill Haywood statue in DC or "my generation" montage during the superbowl with a strike or a CPUSA school or Stalin mugs. Obviously Trotskysm is a perversion of Marxism for liberals, that's all I meant.

sure there is, it's just targeted to a specific group of young white urbanites. you won't see things like on a countryside billboard, but you will see it in the near west side of chicago: http://revbrew.com/
